My research interests are in
  • Online social networks privacy and security
  • Private and secure data and computation outsourcing
  • Electronic payment technologies and applications
  • Wireless networking security

    PERSONAL

    I like to hang out with my kids, watch movies, windsurf, swim, bike, travel. I can read. Anything from cereal boxes, labels, traffic signals to fiction (e.g., Greene, Maugham, Mann, Pagnol, Saki). Former interests include spelunking (caving), jumping from small bridges, biking on snow and camping in severely under-provisioned tents (in terms of temperature and overall comfort). And yes, I have a yellow car!
