1. Network and Systems Security: Intrusion Detection Systems, Development of Simulation Testbed using Specification-based anomaly detection technique for detection of application based attacks, as applied to various client-server & peer-to-peer based technologies.

Doctoral Dissertation: The dissertation research work, "Simulation and Detection of Self-Propagating Worms and Viruses", develops a simulation testbed using a new method that blends specification-based and anomaly-based intrusion detection techniques. The technique is successfully applied to Network Intrusion Detection systems, Worms, Email Viruses and other server attacks.
