Few ongoing and past projects:
  • Distributed Collaborative System (DCS):
    DCS is an interesting project that involves several challenging design considerations such as security, distributed access control, group mechanics, authentication to name a few. Several people in the past have received their PhDs working on this project and it is still a work under progress. There are a few openings for highly motivated individuals for this project.
  • Covert Channels and Mix Firewalls:
    This NRL sponsored project goal was to demonstrate the existence of covert channel from within Mix-Firewalled networks to an evesdropper snopping in on communication lines connecting two mix-firewalled networks. Project was successfully completed.
  • DDoS Mitigation
  • JSTEG - JPEG Steganography
  • UF-IBA: Image based user authentication
  • mDNS: Multicast session discovery architecture
    mDNS is a globally scalable and distributed architecture that enables multicast sessions to be searched and discovered by receivers (end-users) in real time. The design also allows sessions to be assigned a FQDN style URL string that can be bookmarked at end user site for future accesses.
  • Secure online voting
