Overview
My main focus of research is Security in Computing Systems in general, and Storage Systems in particular. My dissertation topic is Secure Provenance, in which I explore various techniques for providing integrity and confidentiality guarantees to provenance - the history of objects.
I have also explored the development of Threat models in storage systems, and practical application of Trust Negotiation in Disaster management and Power Grid Security.
