Security that fits on devices with almost no budget
Research on securing resource-constrained IoT and heterogeneous networks — lightweight mutual authentication (including PUF/V2G and inter–base-station settings), privacy-aware designs, and protocols that survive real energy, memory, and latency limits.

System Lightweight authentication frameworks for IoT / cyber-physical edges: PUF-assisted mutual auth (e.g. V2G), inter–base-station auth in heterogeneous networks, and related constrained-device protocols with formal analysis.
Problem IoT endpoints cannot afford conventional PKI stacks. They are often physically accessible, intermittently connected, and deployed at scale — so protocols must be fast, small, and resilient to capture and relay attacks.
Our contribution Designed lightweight mutual authentication for constrained and vehicular/IoT settings; addressed heterogeneous network base-station authentication; combined cryptographic constructions with formal security arguments suitable for publication venues in IoT and networking security.
