I started my PhD thesis in March 2004 under the supervision of Doctor Huaxiong Wang and co-supervision of Professor Josef Pieprzyk. I am working on the security of multicast communication which covers a large number of domains like software distribution, sensor networks, multi-party teleconferencing, online video games, financial markets and military applications for instance. Since most applications contain sensitive data, this mechanism of data transmission must provide security to its users. Therefore the issues include confidentiality, authentication, non-repudiation and integrity of data as well as access control to the communication group. My work is mainly focussed on designing cryptographic protocols providing data origin authentication.

I am a holder of a scholarship (iMURS) granted by the Higher Degree Research unit which funds my work at Macquarie University. My research is also supported by the Australian Research Council under ARC Discovery Projects DP0558773, DP0665035 and DP0344444.
