| Dr Anca Jurcut | Research Interests: Network Security, Security Protocols Design & Analysis, Automated Techniques for Formal Verification, Cryptography, Security for Internet of Things , Blockchain Technologies, Mathematical Modelling My research focus on network and information security, security for internet of things (IoT), applications of blockchain technologies, security protocols, formal verification techniques and mathematical modelling. Some of the key contributions of my research include: (i) development of a novel logic-based technique for the formal verification of protocols; (ii) design and implementation of an automated tool (CDVT/AD: Crytpographic-Procotol Development and Verification Tool with Attack Detection) for the formal analysis and design validation of security protocols; (iii) discovery of several hitherto unknown protocol design flaws and the publication of new verifiably correct protocols; (iv) development and publication of a new set of design guidelines to guarantee protocol robustness against attacks. (opens in a new window)CDVT/AD Tool for Formal Verification of Security Protocols (opens in a new window)Crytpographic-Procotol Development and Verification Tool with Attack Detection (CDVT/AD) is an automated system implementing a (opens in a new window)modal logic of knowledge and an(opens in a new window) attack detection theory. Hence, CDVT/AD tool can analyse both: (a) the evolution of knowledge and belief during a protocol execution and therefore it is useful in addressing issues of both security and trust and (b) the design vulnerabilities of a protocol and therefore it is useful for the detection of freshness, interleaving session and man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, another benefit of using CDVT/AD tool is that this verification technique is very efficient in terms of memory requirements and execution times (i.e. milliseconds) required for protocol verification (opens in a new window)[1]. Furthermore, this tool successfully verified a large and various set of security protocols (opens in a new window)[1], (opens in a new window)[2], (opens in a new window)[3], (opens in a new window)[4], (opens in a new window)[5] . How to use CDVT/AD Tool: Download both files ((opens in a new window)CDVT. exe and (opens in a new window)qt-mt310.dll ) and save them in the same folder. To use CDVT/AD tool run the executable CDVT.exe. Prior to the automated verifi cation the protocol must be formalized, i.e. translated into the language of the tool (i.e.Protocol Specification Language (PSL) - (opens in a new window)p(opens in a new window)aper that details the language of CDVT/AD tool and demonstrates its applicatio(opens in a new window)n by demonstrating the use of CDVT/AD tool, finding weaknesses in the protocol, and correcting the design of the verified protocol) A formalized protocol consists of three components: (opens in a new window)Sample Specification File: Contains the formalisation into the language of the CDVT_AD tool of Andrew Secure RPC protocol. The CDVT/AD tool applies the axioms and rules of the implemented logic of knowledge in an attempt to derive the protocol goals as a logical consequence of the initial assumptions and the protocol steps. If such a derivation exists, the verifi cation is successful and the verifi ed protocol can be considered secure within the scope of the logic. |

| Dr Vivek Nallur | I have recently started work on Machine Ethics. I am interested in how to implement and verify ethics in autonomous machines. Questions such as what kinds of ethics would autonomous machines agree to among themselves, how would we ensure that individually ethical machines don't combine to produce un-ethical behaviour, are interesting to pose and answer computationally. This is, by nature, an inter-disciplinary thread and I am quite interested in collaborating with folks in the field of philosophy/law/politics etc. I'm also very interested in complex self-adaptive systems, engineering emergent feedback loops, predicting and controlling emergence in humano-tech systems (where technical systems interact heavily with human desires/abilities), engineering robust systems from non-robust parts. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are my preferred tool for approaching problems in self-adaptation, complexity, emergence, etc. They lend themselves to extensive forms of experimentation: having all agents follow simple rules, implementing complex machine-learning algorithms, investigating the interplay of different algorithms being used at the same time, are all possible with relatively simple conceptual structures. Decoding the end result and teasing out the real factor(s) responsible for a particular behaviour is considerably more difficult :-). |
