About Me

 

Hi! I am a lecturer at the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (FTMK) in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM).

 

I received my Diploma in Electronic Engineering in 1994 and B.Sc. (Hons) in Computer Science in 2000 from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. In 2003, I received my M.Sc in Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London.

 

My main research interests centre on cryptology, particularly in the area of cryptanalysis and design of symmetric encryptions (stream ciphers, hash functions and block ciphers), side-channel cryptanalysis and application of encryption algorithm. However my general research interests are on computer and network security. Currently I am studying my PhD at the Centre for Computer and Information Security Research (CCISR) at the University of Wollongong, Australia, focusing on Stream Ciphers, under Prof. Jennifer Seberry supervision.

 

I teach information and network security, operating systems and computer programming at the FTMK. I have also supervised some undergraduate students for their final year projects.

 

Currently I am involving in the eSTREAM, ECRYPT Stream Cipher Project as part of my PhD study. It is a project to identify new stream ciphers for possible widespread adoption.

 

I am a member of Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA) - a multi-disciplinary collaboration established to strengthen Australia’s research capacity for protecting critical infrastructure from natural or human caused disasters including terrorist acts.

 

I am also a member of Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research (MSCR).

 

Since I graduated from the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London, I am also a member of the M.Sc alumni of this security group.
