Research Interests

My work fo­cuses on the new forms cen­sor­ship can take in our di­git­al age. There are two es­sen­tial parts: pub­lish­ing demon­stra­tions show­ing the soph­ist­ic­ated cen­sor­ship tech­niques that are pos­sible with today's tech­no­logy and de­vel­op­ing coun­ter­meas­ures to these tech­niques that are easy to de­ploy and use.

I am also in­ter­ested in the de­vel­op­ment and de­tec­tion of mal­ware. Re­cently I have been fo­cus­ing on the the­ory and im­ple­ment­a­tion of meta­morph­ic en­gines. De­tec­tion meth­ods are rel­ev­ant as well, as they are a way to meas­ure the ef­fect­ive­ness of meta­morph­ic al­gorithm.
