PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

CERDEC, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD,  (Aug 2012 – Present)

Research: Multipath Data Transport in Tactical Networks – Performance and Capacity Bounds

Working with Prof. Don Towsley (University of Massachusetts), and Prof. Richard Gibbens (Cambridge University (UK)) who are part of International Technology Alliance since June 2015- Present, developing Fluid Models of multipath TCP for tactical ad hoc networks. This effort was supported in part by an ILIR grant of $276,000 from CERDEC of which I am the principal investigator.

 

University of Delaware

Professor (Adjunct), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, August 2014 - Present

Research: Security and Privacy in Internet of Things

Advised a post-doc in cybersecurity who worked on to produce research results identifying  mathematical and theoretical limitations on ability to detect, analyze, and respond to network security events  arising in Army tactical micro-grid communication networks.

 

 

Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Computer Science, and Lecturer in Information Security Institute, August 2007 – July 2013

 

Cybersecurity

 

Defending Against Application Level Distributed Denial Service Attacks Network Security – Design and implement application level distributed denial of service attacks on HTTP servers and develop counter measures to prevent such attacks. The attack is created by applying ARP-Spoofing Man in the Middle attack using AJAX web development technologies. (MS Thesis)

 

 

Increasing Consumer Trust in Public Cloud Computing Environments through the Provision of Information-Centric Data Security Controls – Due to shared security responsibility that is inherent between Cloud users and Cloud Service Providers (CSP), it is a challenge to apply consistent permissions/policies across disparate CSPs. This also makes it difficult to ensure that access permissions are enforced by the CSP once data has left the boundary controlled by the cloud user. We are proposing a method that centralizes permissions/policy management system for the cloud and allows the users to specify access permissions to their data prior to being stored in a cloud computing environment. (Ph. D. Project, Co-supervised with Dr. Masson)

 

Image Based Steganography and Cryptography – This research focuses on keeping the secrets of a message in cryptography and then embedding this message in images and other payloads such as text and video. In this work a secret message is encrypted before hiding it into the cover image which provides higher security to secret data. Advanced Encryption Standard is used to encrypt the secret message and pixel-value differencing steganography is used to hide the encrypted secret message into cover image. (MS Project)

 

Self-use Vulnerability Scanner – This project develops a Self-use scanner that can discover the security holes in a user’s computer system which is inexpensive in cost and simple to use as compared to commercially available systems. This scanner not only reports the vulnerabilities but proposes solutions. It is a one click, small, and fast self-use scanner written in Python that does not require any other software package. (MS Project)

 

Other Research Projects

 

MAC design for GNU radios using Game Theory for Wireless Networks

 

Investigating how a game theoretic model can help understand the adversary behavior (Jammer) in a dynamic multi-stage game with incomplete information.

 

Disruption Tolerance for Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks

 

Developing algorithms that will enable routing of the information in wireless networks facing disruptions such as channel quality and disconnections.

 

 

Content Distribution in Disconnected Ad hoc Networks

 

Algorithmic studies pertaining to data dissemination in disconnected ad hoc networks that use content based addressing as opposed to IP addressing.

 

Mobile Cloud Computing

 

Developing cloud architectures based on cellular networks and performing capacity studies for various cloud based applications under different configurations.

 

 

Courses Taught include (CS600.424) Network Security, (CS600.457) Digital Forensics, Advanced Wireless Networks (CS600.647), Wireless Communication and Mobile Computing (CS600.467), Cellular Communication Systems (CS600.478), (CS600.451) and Performance of Computer Communication Systems. Advanced wireless course required students use NS-2/3 and OPNET for home-works and projects. Performance course required students to develop OPNET models of networks to verify the analytical results that were computed using queuing models.
