My research interests are broadly in the areas of Applications Architecture and
Computer Networks. During my grads, I was working on Sensor Networks and at data link layer( MAC 802.11
in precise). Presently I am wokring with all stuff related to application migration and compatibility towards Windows Vista.
This page contains a lot of information(paper links, PPTs etc) on the
following areas.
A summary of my research interests are in this areas:
1) Application Compatibilty and Windows Installer 4.0
2)
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks.
2) Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
3) TCP And Internet Congestion Control

1.Elliptic Curve Cryptography
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is emerging as an attractive public-key cryptosystem
for mobile/wireless environments. Compared to traditional cryptosystems like RSA, ECC offers equivalent security with smaller
key sizes, which results in faster computations, lower power consumption, as well as memory and bandwidth savings. This is
especially useful for mobile devices which are typically limited in terms of their CPU, power and network connectivity. Elliptic
Curve Cryptography (ECC) has recently been endorsed by the US government.
The Next Generation Crypto project focuses on three key components:
- implementation of an elliptic curve crypto library and security architectures for
various platforms ranging from small sensors to high-performance web servers
- implementation of a common hardware architecture for accelerating ECC as well as
RSA
- enabling broad industry adoption of ECC by
- promoting ECC standardization within SSL, the dominant security protocol used on
the Internet, and
- contributing ECC technology to OpenSSL and NSS/Mozilla the two most popular open
source cryptographic libraries

2. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) and Sensor Networks
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are future wireless
networks consisting entirely of mobile nodes that communicate on-the-move without base stations. Nodes in these networks will
both generate user and application traffic and carry out network control and routing protocols. Rapidly changing connectivity,
network partitions, higher error rates, collision interference, and bandwidth and power constraints together pose new problems
in network control—particularly in the design of higher level protocols such as routing and in implementing applications
with Quality of Service requirements. Here I would try to provide an overview of these networks,
with descriptions and models of the main components and issues, including mobility models, a channel model, MAC layer issues
and methods, Routing issues and methods, and Dynamic Power Regulation .
Site under construction...sorry for the inconvinience..will do all these
things shortly.....
