Current research

  • Digital Identity: The focus of my current research on digital identity is on identification with minor information disclosure. That means, and that is on-going project, for instance allowing people to (verifiably) demonstrate some assertions while hiding non-intended identity data from the rest of entities (Service and Identity Providers). The focus is also placed in the search of killer applications for existing identification technology in order to boost their adoption.
  • Ubiquitous Computing Security: The main focus on this topic comes on securely joining existing and emerging mobile and pervasive scenarios with novel applications and more specifically with digital identity. Research examples are on safe and secure access to the car (the car should not start if your driver license is, for instance, expired). More details on previous research in this area can be found in UBISEC.
  • Covert Channels: My current research on covert channels is focused on the search of channels for new protocols (as those existing for wireless sensor networks, which is an on-going project) and general detectability.

Education

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