Summary

Last update: 23 November 2012

A Visiting Faculty (sabbatical) at Purdue University for the Academic Year 2012-2013.

Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Pittsburgh. Research at Western Michigan University (WMU)—as a faculty; Purdue University—as a post doctoral researcher and a sabbatical visitor; and University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)—as a faculty. Teaching at WMU and UIC. Teaching at WMU and UIC.  Tutorial instructor for IEEE Computer Society. Diversified R&D experience at AT&T/Lucent Bell Labs. Consultant for academic and business projects. Entrepreneurial experience in the United States and Poland.

Current research focused in two Areas: (1) opportunistic capability utilization networks or oppnets (a specialized kind of ad hoc networks); and (2) trust, privacy and security in open computing systems.  In Area 1, focus on primitives for oppnets, privacy and security in oppnets, and interoperability of oppnet helper networks and devices. In Area 2, concentration on privacy-preserving data dissemination, authentication and privacy in health care, vulnerability analysis and threat assessment, the role of trust in open computing environments, analysis of computer security paradigms, modeling computer fraud, and security and privacy aspects in pervasive systems, including ad hoc sensor networks and embedded networks.

Former areas of investigation include: (a) distributed computing systems with concentration on decentralized control; (b) distributed database systems with focus on reliability, fault tolerance, recovery, concurrency control, query optimization, and database design; and (c) semantic database integrity.

Published over 60 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and six book chapters (at least four peer-reviewed). Editorial Board member for six journals. Technical Program Committee Co-Chair for the 31st IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS 2012). Organizer and Chair of the International Workshops on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2011, SAHNS 2009 and SAHNS 2007) in conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2011, ICDCS 2009 and ICDCS 2007).

Co-PI for a Navy grant on oppnets, and an NSF grant on vulnerability analysis and threat assessment/avoidance. Visiting Faculty in the Air Force Research Laboratory's Information Institute.

Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and IEEE Computer Society. Affiliated with Center for Science of Information (CSoI) and Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security (CERIAS), both at Purdue University.

Research

Last update: 23 November 2012

Current Projects

·         Privacy-preserving data dissemination (including the original idea of active bundles)

·         Opportunistic resource utilization networks and systems (a.k.a. oppnets)

Projects—mostly focusing on trust, privacy and security—include:

-        Helper privacy and oppnet privacy

-        Classic and identity-based authentication in oppnets, including authentication of helper candidates in oppnet environments, and authentication of oppnet nodes in oppnet environments

-        Masquerading in oppnets, including malevolent hosts masquerading as oppnet member, and malevolent helpers masquerading as helpers or oppnet members

-        Software agents' role for security and privacy in oppnets

-        Intrusion detection, honeypots and honeyfarms in oppnets

-        Semantic Web for agents’ trust in oppnets

-        Security and privacy issues for Software Defined Radio in oppnets

·         Vulnerability analysis and threat assessment/avoidance in computer systems, esp. in database systems

·         Authentication and privacy, with emphasis on authentication in healthcare systems

-         Project Authentic: Authentication Attacks and Controls
