I'm currently an intern at Bordeaux I, working on the security of sensor networks.

Today, I wondered how many articles I read in the last 3 months.

$ find papers/ | wc -l
42

The result was a bit puzzling and hence, I found the following question could be a great candidate to the ultimate question:

How many articles one should read before writing a research article?

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, google is your friend.

As both a student and a trainee, I have been researching on system security for about a year and a half with the LIFO research group.

My work for the LIFO has first been to develop a Mandatory Access Control system designed to control high-level interactions initiated by the system user.

This work has been integrated in the product we've presented at the SecSI(fr) security challenge launched by the French Research Agency.

I've been working on a research project since April 2009 for the security researchers of my school. This project was about creating a "Mandatory access control for GUI-oriented software".

The goal was to get data from the applicative layer of the OS (user programs) in order to be able to switch between different pre-existing domains. A domain is a system-wide security state which allows a certain set of actions/interaction between the user and the OS. It is enforced by the use of security components like firewalls or other mandatory access control systems.
The final result being an operating system which would always grant the user with the minimal set of rights needed for the current task the user is doing (web browsing, e-shopping, watching movies, etc...).
