Objectives & Goals

Our primary goals are to create awareness about the increasing security threats and to provide answer to such problems. We have planned to answer to these questions, by promoting research and security related projects.

Research groups lead by senior students and professionals would continously come up with thorough and clean-cut research papers that would not only provide answer to the many of today's network/security related issues but would also device new and accurate solutions to these problems. To have a look at the research papers published by this groups click here.

Project groups also lead by senior students and professionals would be indulged in making of cutting-edge software solutions for the ever growing need of network security and data communication.To see the list of on-going and completed projects click here.

At present there is no effective copyright law in Pakistan, so people feel free to use software worth thousands of dollars without any hassle. Now the Government of Pakistanis moving towards impelementing such laws in near future.

Our secondary goals are to promote Linux as much as possible, because of the increased security features that Linux provide. And also, when people would have to transact from more expensive operating systems to Linux, they would feel a little uncomfortable, so taking measures ahead of time and educating masses about Linux is one of our secondary goals. For that we have established a group of 80 students, which will be provided complete Linux training by professionals. All Linux related material can be found here.

These students would then spread and every individual would train as many other people as possible. For this purpose a whole lab of 20 Computers has been set up at the Department of Computer Science (MCS-Lab2). These students will also be involved in developing some good projects under the Linux Enviornment as well.

The SIGDC has established contacts with many individuals and organizations that are eager to provide support to the operations of SIG. Thus SIGDC will try to take full advantage of such people/ogranizations and these will be invited time over time to provide useful advices. Click here to see the list of some of these people.

The SIGDC will also be arranging guest lectures which will be given by experts in the field. To take a look at the lectures that has already been presented click here.
