C Pouyioukka - Security & Privacy Research Fellow

As an individual, my personal research interests are in Security Systems and in particular, in areas which involve cryptographic algorithms, privacy enhancing paradigms and technologies, blockchain and verification in security systems.  I am mostly interested in distributed systems, Internet of Things and the security and privacy implications involved with such systems. Other interests include: Quantum Computation and Information theorems, Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Hacking.

Research is mainly  focused on:

Data Leakage in Smartphone applications and the implications advertising libraries have in user privacy. The security and privacy implications involved in Autonomous Vehicles; and the use of machine learning to detect attacks from adversaries in interconnected autonomous vehicles. Identification of online scams, attacks and threats deployed by exploiting social networks. User privacy protection and privacy attacks involved by using Social Networks and smart devices.  Blockchain & Smart contracts and their validity.  Concept of Quantum-Proof algorithmic security and Post-Quantum cryptography.
