Research Interests

My research interests include Cloud Computing Security, Virtualization Security, Memory and Run-Time Malwares and Operating System Kernel Security. In my PhD research, I'm working in the area of cloud virtual infrastructure security and how to provide the pre-emptive protection for the hosted Virtual Machines (VMs) in the IaaS cloud computing model externally, without installing any security software inside the VMs.

You may find some of my papers @ Swinburne Research Bank, Google Scholar or DBLP.
