Research
Fari Schlake believes that real-life complex problems can only be addressed
through a cross-disciplinary approach. Her current research interest is in game
and mechanism design theoretical approaches to developing autonomous,
efficient and socially desirable network security protocols. She is interested in the
application of social behavioral sciences in systems and network-wide security
design. In particular, research of the effects of selfishness, bounded rationality,
conflict, and cooperation on achievement of system-wide socially desired
outcomes. She utilizes mathematical theoretical models to solve real-life technical
problems.
As part of her PhD Research, implementing game theory and mechanism design
theory principals she has developed a dominant strategic cross-layer network
security protocol, which provides a consumer-centric optimal and delay-efficient
network-wide security establishment. In her solution, she solves the revelation
theorem's problem of misrepresentation of private information. She also has
taken a layer specific approach implementing her developed protocol on the
network layer. She proposes extensions to the current IPsec and IKEv2 to
achieve a dominant strategic equilibrium for a consumer-centric delay-efficient
optimal security protocol.
Her earlier research focused on the areas of QoS Signaling and Security
Protocols for hybrid wired and wireless broadband networks with emphasize in
healthcare and telemedicine implementations Her research has encompassed
the areas of Quality of Service (QoS) and Security Protocols in IP and high-
Speed broadband networks – in specific ATM. She has developed and designed
new protocols (SME_Q and SME_QC) as expansion to the existing standards to
compensate the degradations of QoS caused by security operations. These
protocols provide simultaneous security protections and QoS provisioning in ATM
networks. She has also designed and developed a Windows-based (Win32)
simulation software application (SMEQSIM) with a Graphical User Interface (GUI),
in particular a Single Document Interface (SDI). SMEQSIM, which simulates the
proposed protocols, is written in C++ object oriented programming language
based on Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) and is ca. 14,000 Lines of Code.
She has then analyzed the necessity of these new protocols based on a real life
and in use medical ATM network.
