General Research Areas & Interests
Professor Uluagac is generally interested in the areas of cybersecurity and privacy with an emphasis on their practical and applied aspects. Most recently, he was focused on the following sample areas:
- Security and privacy of Internet of Things (IoT) (e.g., privacy leakage of IoT apps, privacy-preservation, fingerprinting)
- Security and privacy of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) (e.g., compromised devices, smart home/office security),
- Security for critical infrastructure networks (e.g., smart-grid, smart city),
- Ransomware, Malware (e.g., crypojecking)
- Healthcare, medical security (e.g., adversarial attacks to medical devices),
- Digital Forensics for IoT and CPS applications
- Wireless and mobile device security (e.g., fingerprinting, wearable authentication),
- Block-chain (e.g., bitcoin security, privacy, blockchain malware).
- Big data security
In these areas, Dr. Uluagac and his group publish their work at extremely competitive cyber-security conferences and journals such as Usenix Security Conference, Network and Distributed System Security Symposium, Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, inter alia.
