My research interests are in designing protocols and mechanisms to secure pervasive systems, especially the resource-restraint wireless networks. The investigation focuses on integrating multi-disciplinary schemes ( information theory, scientific visualization, etc.) with network techniques to prevent and detect various attacks and to enforce security and privacy in such environments. Several topics that I am working on are:

• Privacy enforcement in wireless networks and its impacts on network security and performance
• Secure and private location based routing and services
• Effective representation of security data and visualization of attacks
• Key distribution and management schemes
• Self-organized intrusion detection and intruder identification methods
