STUDENT PROJECT
Will TaraSec actually work?
The goal is not to prove TaraSec right. The goal is to find the weak points before real attackers do.
The question
Can collaborative sender/receiver security signaling reduce malicious traffic at scale without creating unacceptable false positives, overhead, privacy problems or new attack surfaces?
Possible work
Build realistic test scenarios, introduce malicious or compromised participants, measure latency and overhead, test false reports, study failure modes and compare TaraSec with existing approaches.
Good result: evidence that it works under defined conditions — or a clear demonstration that an assumption fails.
Discuss it with the TaraSec AI
Ask: “What assumptions in TaraSec are easiest to falsify experimentally?” or “Design a test that could prove this architecture wrong.”
