Current research
  • Edge/Fog Computing: In NICS, we are trying to define the basic security services for Fog and Edge Computing because we think that this paradigm brings new challenges and opportunities that makes providing these services to the resource continiuum from cloud to sensors an exciting task. SMOG and SecureEDGE are allowing us to take the first steps towards that objective. 
  • Malware Analysis: We are tackling different problems related with Malware:
    • Malware analysis is complicated due to anti-forensic techniques. This needs to be tackled by continuous new counter techniques.
    • Indicators of Compromise need to be intelligently collected and graphed to allow Malware Investigations independently from Malware complexity and with auto expanding graphs.
    • Binary Code similarity needs to be effective and efficiently processed in order to correlate similar behaviours among petabytes of malware code. One of our efforts to this objective is the design of a a new fuzzy hash function that is efficient and recognizes code functionality. 
    • IA results applied to malware
Education

 I received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Málaga, Spain, in 2002, and 2006, respectively.
