RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS

I have explored different theoretical aspects of cryptographic solutions in the following areas, and appliedthem for various domains. I have specifically reduced the computational complexity of the proposed so-lutions in an optimistic way for various scenarios where lightweight devices would face critical computa-tional overheads like in eHealth domain. As far as research is concerned, I have published 45 InternationalJournals and Conferences.

Attribute-based access control• Developed efficient approaches for Attribute Based Encryption for lightweight devices in which low

computation and storage overhead are crucial.

• We also proposed lightweight secure solutions for mobile clients in which the sizes of both ciphertext and secret key are constant.

2

Hierarchical access control• Developed an efficient theoretical model for secure key management in a large leaf class hierarchy.

It supports dynamic access control problems efficiently.

• Handled secure broadcasting with a time-bound cryptographic key assignment scheme in whichdistinct temporal keys are assigned for each user at distinct time periods. It supports individual usersubscription along with dynamic properties.

• We also addressed key management problems in general and linear hierarchies.

Remote user authenticationWe addressed several specific problems in the following topics and also proposed efficient authenticationprotocols that are secure under the widely accepted CK-adversary model:

• Authentication for Client-Server architecture

• Single Sign-on authentication for Multi-Server environment

• Authentication for Near Field Communication

• Authentication for Smart Grid environment

• Authentication for Internet-of-Things environment

• Key management in wireless sensor networks

• Authentication in vehicular ad-hoc networks

• Attribute-Based Authentication for thin clients
