Research Interests

Computer and communications security, particularly in the areas of privacy, cryptographic protocols, and fault-tolerant distributed computing. Designing protocols, systems, and services that perform their specified computational or communication functions even if some of the participants or underlying components behave maliciously.

I am a member of the PORTIA project .
I am also associated with the DyDAn Center located at DIMACS.
