Focus:  Information Security and Artificial Intelligence.

I am interested in designing information security schemes, that are inspired by artificial intelligence techniques, to enforce data  security and privacy in Internet-based Systems.

Below is a little more detail on my current projects. If you are interested in working with me you are welcome to contact me.

Access Control: Private information sharing make flexible access control mechanisms necessary. In this regard, we are interested in developing techniques to secure  information in dynamic environments. For instance,  in mobile  internet communications, an SMS message containing sensitive information might be encrypted or displayed in an adapted  form depending on the location of a user at the time of access.

Secure Service Oriented Architectures: Service compositions occur in an Internet environment which trust is typically an issue. In cases of service compositions involving outsourced data, the data owners need some way of guaranteeing that retrieved data is not exposed to unauthorized parties. The issue here is how to check that the rules for enforcing data security and privacy are obeyed. Applications abound in areas requiring some sort of service architecture to facilitate information sharing.
