In another two projects—the development of the Computer Information Management System for both the Dean’s Office and for School of Further Education of University of XX, I conducted comprehensive research concerning network security technology, in particular the firewall technology. By undertaking extensive testing against the Ddos attacks, I gathered a large amount of first-hand data. Based on my experiences in those two projects, I have published four research papers, including The Standards of Firewall Procurement and the Prospect of Firewall Technology, in the national core journals and university journals like Computer Application Research. All of them have been well received.

 Over the past few years, as a key project member, I have participated in, organized and implemented a total of 12 projects which involve financial software, MIS, network management system, e-commerce, industrial control and other fields. I have published a total of 10 research papers in a series of technical journals and my research achievements have captured the attention of the computer experts from the XX provincial academia. Last year I was invited to attend the 2002 International Symposium on Picture and Graphics inXX City.

Currently, I have come to the final stage of my Master’s dissertation entitled Research on the WLAN Security Solution and its Realization. In this dissertation, I focus on the security mechanisms of WLAN, proposing that VPN as a security solution can only be an alternative and that only the application of the true “point-to-point” mechanism can maximize network security at reasonable costs. My dissertation has an overall theoretical framework, supplemented by detailed plans and designs. In my repeated discussions with my supervisor concerning my dissertation, he has given his full support of my propositions. He has given special praises on my ideas regarding the renovation and development of the existing computer technology.

While perfecting my ability to carry out independent R & D projects, my past research experience has also enabled me to ferret out my own research interests for the future—Wireless Networking and Network Security. WLAN is one of the most important issues in the theoretical research and technical development of present-day computer science and its security mechanism is the key point. I have 4-year work experience as a network engineer and taught six courses on network and Internet technology. In my Master’s program I have concentrated on computer network and distributive system and my dissertation is on WLAN and its security mechanism. For each of those two concentrations, I have participated in two research projects, thus I have adequate practical experience. In my 10 research papers, 6 are concerned with those two major fields, which fully testify to my theoretical buildup and my important research potential. All those constitute my important assets for more advanced academic pursuit, in which I expect to exploit them to the fullest possible extent.
