Research Interests
IoT Security and Privacy
The focus of my research is to make IoT as a platform more secure. IoT is not the future any more it is as much present as anything and security and privacy aspect of it has been understated. The impact billions of insecure and vulnerable devices can have is huge. Through my research I want to make the platform more secure and privacy preserving.
Web Security
Web is the primary component which connects millions of people worldwide and enables interactions through various other platforms. To ensure security and privacy in web and its applications are of paramount importance and a passion of mine. My research work focuses on preventing bad actors from doing bad things and giving control back to the users
