Articulate a problem statement to propose your area of academic interest and
identify an initial set of papers to review.
First, identify an important problem within the field of information security that is actively being researched by
the academic community (see note below). Thoroughly describe the problem and provide substantive evidence
of its importance using relevant references.
Next, identify an initial set of papers for your literature review: Provide a bibliography containing 10 peerreviewed conference or journal papers addressing* this problem. Do not include survey papers as the goal of
the term project assignment is to analyze research directly addressing the problem, not to analyze the
analyses of others.
Provide preliminary classification or taxonomy of the problem space that shows how the papers relate to one
another along with a description of your taxonomy. Map the 10 papers you selected into this taxonomy to make
it clear which paper addresses which part of the problem space.
