Research
My research focuses on secure, verifiable, and deployable systems for blockchain-IoT and federated learning. I build practical frameworks that combine applied cryptography, ML-driven defense, and system-level evaluation.
Hardware-Rooted Blockchain-IoT Security
Device identity and authentication anchored in PUFs and zero-knowledge proofs, integrated with permissioned blockchain environments.
PUFZIN explainer · IEEE LCN 2024
Adaptive Cyber Deception for IoT
Dynamic honeypot conversion driven by ML-based threat scoring and game-theoretic decision models for resource-efficient defense.
Post-Quantum Secure Federated Learning
Quantum-resistant signatures and blockchain verification for FL updates, with benchmarks on MNIST, SVHN, and HAR.
