Design and implement Linux authentication platform which provides authentication communication
services based on DSRC. This project aims to generate suitable platform for inter-vehicle communication
by developing the clustering based routing protocol. This system was built based on tests and outcomes
obtained from implemented the protocols on NS-2.35.
Responsibilities:

Design and implement configuration station platform which is the key component of vehicular
communication networks.
Develop NS2 and Linux Shell scripts to work as On-Board unit, using C/C++ code.
Troubleshoot code problems using debugging tools.
Participate in code review and improve the quality of production performance.
Define the interface in terms of protocols and functionalities to integrate disparate components
which communicate with each other by passing data in a well-defined format.
Perform unit test, integrate test and system test.
Write clear and detailed design and development documents.
Plan work streams and coordinate resources and efforts to complete assignments.
Quickly adapt to a fast changing environment and to new priorities based on user needs.

Environment: C/C++, NS-2, OOP, Linux, Shell scripts, UDP &TCP/IP, Socket, Client-Server, Multithreading, gdb, PKI.

Voice Biometrics project for identification and verification.

Voice biometrics works by digitizing a profile of a person's speech to produce a stored model voice
print, or template. Biometric technology reduces each spoken word to segments composed of several
dominant frequencies called formants. Each segment has several tones that can be captured in a digital
format. The tones collectively identify the speaker's unique voice print. Voice prints are stored in
databases in a manner similar to the storing of fingerprints or other biometric data.
Responsibilities:
Designing C++ classes based on the requirements.
Designing interface for GUI.
Implementing requirement of C++ classes for the HSM (Hierarchical State Management).
Implementing requirement of C++ classes for the FSM (Functional State Management).
Debugging the C++ application using gdb to analyze core dump files.
Participate in code review and improve the quality of production performance.
Created test plans and test data and conducted unit testing for programming assignments to
ensure programs work correctly.
Environment: C++, C, Matlab, Win7, and Ubuntu Linux, Shell scripting.

Secure Protocol for Short Message Services; the main idea in this project is how to protect the
network and offer safe communication environment by using end-to-end encryption method. However the
main concern in a public-key setting is the authenticity of the public key; this issue resolved by using
identity-based (ID based) cryptography where the public key of a user derived from public information
that uniquely identifies the user. In this project an encryption mechanism based on the ID-based scheme
using Elliptic curves to provide end-to-end security for SMS is implemented by using C/C++.
Responsibilities:
Analyzed documentation and existing code to understand core and detailed functionality.
Performed designing, coding, unit/system testing, and debugging
Contributed to code documentation including specifications, maintenance, data flow diagram,
