Hi, I conduct research on cyber security methodology and terminology/taxonomy, especially in the following domains: Internet censorship (circumvention), information hiding, and smart building security.
Key contributions
- introduction of hiding patterns (a taxonomy for covert channels), preprint (ACM CSUR, 2015)
- introduction of a generic taxonomy for steganography and a way to describe new covert channels in papers (under review)
- introduction of covert channel amplification and history covert channels (IEEE TDSC, in press)
