Research Highlights
My core research area is distributed systems, specifically group messaging systems. This includes the protocols used in them, the implementation or them, the use of them, and the security of them.I am the chief architect of the Spread Group Messaging toolkit which provides wide area, high performance reliable multicast messaging with membership, strong failure and ordering semantics, and a professional quality implementation.
My work on security is mainly focused on helping design and implement secure group communications. A description of this work can be found here
