Recent Projects

Winter 2013 Cascade Bloom Filter.

Implemented an algorithm to nd optimal cascade bloom lter for a given set of elements

and hash functions.

{ Languages: C++

Fall 2012 Graph Vertex Cover.

Implemented ve di erent algorithms running concurrently to nd optimal and approximate

vertex cover.

{ Languages: Python, C

Winter 2012 User Authorisation Queries (UAQ) in Role Based Access Control .

Designed and Implemented two algorithms for responding to UAQ queries in RBAC access

control. The result shows an order of magnitude improvement in the performance compared

to prior work.

{ Languages: C++, C

Doctoral Thesis

Title Algorithmic Problems in Information Security

Supervisor Dr Mahesh V. Tripunitara

Description Analyzed computational complexity of various problems and their approximation

variants in the context of Access control and proposed new ways to mitigate their

intractabilities. Our result shows improvement over existing solutions.
