Computer System Research and Design professional with experience in
- Computer Security (Network Security, Web Security, Systems Security),
- Application Development
- Operating Systems Development and Testing.
I am currently pursuing the Stanford Advanced Computer Security Professional Certificate.
I am developing a device-independent but extensible small-footprint SSL implementation (both client and server-side) for use on various Java platforms. This experimental library will be useful for prototyping various applied cryptography projects as well as extensible to provide security for new experimental platforms in the Sun Labs.
I am also interested in developing an intelligent data collection, monitoring and predictive failure diagnostics infrastructure for increasing energy efficiency in data centers using the Sun SPOTs (http://www.sunspotworld.com).
In the recent past my research is focused on developing anti-phishing protocols for Web Security. Recently, I demonstrated some phishing techniques by using Mozilla browser, Squid web proxy cache, GNU Wget, Apache web server and OpenSSL. With my team at Sun Labs, we invented a new class of anti-phishing protocols called "Multi-Factor Password Authenticated Key Exchange (MFPAK)" (http://eprint.iacr.org/2008/214). I demonstrated the effectiveness of MFPAK by prototyping one of the candidates using OpenSSH, S/KEY and OpenSSL.
