PROJECTS
Course: Software Engineering
Project Name: Secure Optimized File Transfer (SOFT)
Project Description: Using C#, implemented a fully functional client and server. Secure
client/server authentication used the RSA algorithm for AES session key exchange. Session
used AES algorithm for improved computational efficiency over RSA for secure file transfers.
The LZMA compression algorithm was used to utilize network resources in an efficient
manner.
Course: Systems Programming
Project Name: Server/Client Network-Based Application
Project Description: Using the C and the Windows API, implemented a multi-threaded,
socket-based server to respond to and handle multiple clients and their requests over HTTP.
Course: Cryptography and Applications
Project Name: Logical Volume Encryption
Project Description: Using C#, implemented a logical volume, which included a fully
functioning file system. A SHA-256 hash of the user password was an index into the volume
to locate the file table. The AES algorithm was used to secure the volume s contents.
Course: Compiler Writing
Project Name: C89 Compiler
Project Description: Using C++, implemented a compiler for a subset of the C89
programming language. This involved projects in semantic analysis, code generation, as well
as multiple stages of optimization.
Course: Network Forensics
Project Name: Extensible File Carving in TCP/IP
Project Description: Using C#, implemented TCP/IP session reconstruction and performed
file carving to detect JPEG images. This project further focused on the simple integration of
external image processing filters to allow for nonintrusive network monitoring.
