PROJECTS
=================

Learning & Generating Firewall Rules:

Proposed intrusion detection as an anomaly detection problem using Logical Analysis of Data. Using the learnt patterns & iptables grammar, the model also generates suitable firewall rules to prevent such attacks in real-life scenarios.

Learning Discriminative Features for images:

The project focused on extracting dense discriminative features by using sparsity & information theoretic constraints in the fully connected layers of CNNs.

Block Summarization: Empowering Light Nodes in Blockchains:

Proposed & developed an algorithm to enable transaction validation on light nodes in blockchain environment. Besides Bitcoin implementation and protocol study, developed a blockchain micro-framework with the summarization protocol. Achieved 45% compression on Bitcoin blocks.

[CODE]

Design study of S-Boxes and cryptanalysis of Q-groups:

Analyzed cryptographic properties including nonlinearity, ANF & resiliency, of substitution boxes of DES & PRESENT. Extended the work to Quasigroups & cryptanalysis of 4-round quasigroup s-boxes.

[CODE] [REPORT]

Media Management Service:

Developed a back-end service for Django to manage & handle media files and requests. Besides media storage, file compression and authentication, the service tracks user actions on files and provides options for file recovery and transformation. Further, rule based authentication was implemented to verify file parameters & create suitable output file.

Matasano Crypto:

Solved Matasano (modern) Cryptography challenges on block & stream ciphers and RSA.
