Hello,
My name is Peter Djalaliev and I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Computer Science, where my advisor is Dr. José Brustoloni. My dissertation topic is "Mitigating Botnet-based DDoS Attacks against Web Servers". I expect to complete my Ph.D work in or around December 2009.
I recently reeived my M.S. in Computer Science from University of Pittsburgh. My B.S. degree is in Computer Science and Mathematics from Washington and Lee University.
Research Interests
My research interests are in computer and network security: DDoS attack mitigation, hardware acceleration of network applications, security-oriented protocols (such as SSL/TLS, Kerberos), trusted computing, cryptography. My current and past research projects include:- mitigating bot-based DDoS attacks against web servers (more details)
- trusted document exchange using trusted computing (more details)
Systems Development Experience
I am a systems developer specializing in building innovative, secure network systems. My experience as a developer includes:- extending the CardSpace/Identity Metasystem architecture to use Kerberos authentication (ongoing work)
- extending the Heimdal Kerberos implementation to use RSA SecurID authentication
- integrating trusted computing technologies into the TLS protocol
- implementing HTTP-to-TLS upgrades (RFC2817) in Mozilla Firefox
- porting network applications to use Netronome NFE-i8000 hardware acceleration
- some Linux kernel development: softirq handlers, network stack, security modules
Systems Development Experience
Recently, I was a Software Engineer intern at Netronome Systems (May-Aug 2008).Contact Information
I am happy to answer questions or provide source code that I have developed. Please, contact me at pete...@gmail.com (click to view).
