TEACHING
INTERESTS
I am Prepared to teach courses at the undergraduate or graduate level on Computer Network, Data
Communication, Sensor Networks, Cryptographic Algorithms, Programming, and Data structures, I am
particularly interested about working in class with strong project components, and further develop and teach
a comprehensive and well-illustrated course in the area of sensor network.
RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Primary focus: Networking security, Security for wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and
Sensor Networks. Developing cryptographic algorithms for wireless broadcast networks, security schemes
and communications protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. Other research interest’s areas include Designing
Energy-efficient techniques for mobile ad hoc networks that minimize the energy consumptions of mobile
nodes to prolong the lifetime of the network.
Keywords: Keys pre-distribution schemes, Wireless sensor networks, Security, Mobile ad hoc networks.

Advisor: Rabi N. Mahapatra.
Research Area: Security schemes for tolerating nodes capture in sensor networks with mobile sink.
I exploited the use of either the probabilistic generation key pre-distribution scheme or the Q-composite
scheme in conjunction with the polynomial pool-based key pre-distribution scheme to establish a secure link
between a mobile sink and a sensor node on the fly and hence to improve the network resilience to nodes
captures compared to preexisting security schemes.

Advisor: Rabi N. Mahapatra.
Research Area: Security schemes to defend against mobile sink replication attacks in sensor networks.
I developed a general framework that substantially improve network resilience to mobile sink replication
compared with the single polynomial pool-based key pre-distribution approach, as an attacker would have to
compromise many more sensor nodes to launch a successful mobile sink-replication attack. This framework
permits the use of any pairwise key pre-distribution scheme as its basic component to provide authentication
and pairwise key establishment between sensor nodes and mobile sinks.

Advisor: Rabi N. Mahapatra.
Research Area: Anti wormhole attacks schemes in sensor networks with a control mobility-sink.
I designed a countermeasure attack scheme that eliminate or minimize the effect of wormhole attacks in
sensor networks with control mobility-sink. The scheme used a collision-resistant hash function, such as
MD5, to authenticate the source of the mobile sink beacon signal before sensor nodes are allowed to
transmit their aggregated data to the trusted mobile sink.

Advisor: Rabi N. Mahapatra.
Research Area: An energy-efficient data collection scheme in sensor network.
I contrived a hybrid data collection scheme for a class of sensor application where it underlying network
provide sensor reading with varied data delivery constrains (low priority data and high-priority data with high
fidelity and low latency). This hybrid scheme enhances the network performance and reduces it total energy
usage. It implemented the traditional multiple hops relaying methods to deliver high-priority data and a
controllable mobile agent infrastructure which provide substantial energy saving by avoiding multiple hops
relaying for low-priority data.

Research Area: Anti wormhole attacks schemes in sensor networks with a random mobility-sink.
I developed, a technique, which allows a sink with random mobility to establish a secure link with any
sensornode on the fly and to defend against threats posed by wormhole attacks and collusion of malicious
nodes. Multiple communication channels available on the sensor hardware were used to depict the feature
of resiliency against wormhole attack and node collusion.
