"It brings me great satisfaction to tackle the current problem of security attacks by developing tools to protect systems against them"
My Research
My current research is focused on providing solutions to protect VoIP systems against DoS attacks, and protecting computers against buffer overflow attacks. 
Projects
One of my current projects is Enhancing DoS Tolerance in VoIP systems. The aim of this project is to enhance the tolerance against DoS attacks such that the VoIP components keep on providing the service gracefully during and after the DoS attack.
 
Avaya Labs released the software, Libsafe based on my other research effort, as Free Linux software dealing with providing protection against stack smashing attacks. Libsafe software prevents electronic intruders from overflowing an application program’s buffer memory to gain unauthorized access. Many Books, research papers, and other articles covered Libsafe with favorable comments. Lots of email such as “ Just wanted to thank you guys for Libsafe. I’ve tested it out and it’s pretty damn effective. Thanks for providing Libsafe for my and other linux guru’s user.” 
Publications
In 2000 I co-authored a paper, “Transparent Run-Time Defense Against Stack Smashing Attacks” which was presented at USENIX Annual Technical Conference. I’ve authored several other technical papers on the subject of enhancing DoS tolerance, computer security, system reliability, and testing and evaluation of fault tolerant systems using fault injection techniques. These papers were featured in Journals and technical conferences. I’m currently working on an Intrusion Detection System for VoIP systems. The work will be presented at RSA Conference in February, 2006.
