Security Inspection of OpenStack
In collaboration with Boston University, we are investigating the security of OpenStack services according to the Universal Composability model. This project is one of the Modular Approach to Cloud Security (MACS) projects which involve MIT, BU, NEU, and UConn. Our project was chosen as one of the three outstanding projects among MACS projects as a result of a NSF site visit in 2016.

Counterfeit Product Detection for RFID-Based Supply Chains
Current RFID monitoring schemes are used either local databases or online persistent communication between the reader and the back-end database. We introduce a novel scheme, LightSource, which uses an onboard Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) in RFID tags to function as a tiny mobile database. It is implementable on inexpensive EPC Class 1 Gen 2 RFID tags and enables producers to trace and find fake product injection points without having any local databases on partner sites or not having to communicate with them while preserving supply chain partners' privacy. With all these features, LightSource goes beyond other counterfeit product detection mechanisms.
