Appointment on Visitation important
Topic: Secure Systems
Description:
Within the secure systems theme, I am interested in security and privacy of data and information in storage, as well as in transition. This research focus aims to unfold techniques that can be deployed to protect information systems' resources from ever growing cyber attacks. Also, under consideration is the security of applications running on information systems. In view of the forgoing, some research works are ongoing, and some have been completed and published with this research theme.

Cryptographic solution for a secure e-Voting system
The Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) represents a crucial step forward in enhancing the transparency and credibility of electoral processes by utilizing biometric technology for voter identification and accreditation. However, despite its significant advantages, the BVAS infrastructure and its associated electronic platforms are vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, particularly Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. A well-coordinated DDoS attack can overwhelm the BVAS system, rendering it inaccessible and potentially crippling the voter accreditation process during critical periods. This study addresses the problem by implementing a proof-of-concept voting website, simulating a DDoS attack to expose the system's vulnerabilities. The proposed solution involves deploying robust mitigation techniques, such as traffic filtering and IP blocking, to protect the BVAS system from being overwhelmed by malicious traffic. The defence mechanism involves testing using real-time DDoS attack simulations, to determine if the implementation of the IP blocker and traffic monitoring tools will significantly reduce the impact of the attack.
