Research

Research Interests:

My research interests are Cryptography and information security. I work on developing a lightweight protocols for resource-constrained devices such as sensors and IoTs. In addition, Im interested in developing security protocols in distributed systems.


Dissertation: "Lightweight Cryptographic Protocols for Mobile Devices"
