Personal Background

 

I am a lecturer and the Head of Information Security and Digital Forensics Laboratory (INSFORLAB) at the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology of the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. I received my PhD from the University of Wollongong in Australia under Prof. Jennifer Seberry, Prof. Willy Susilo and Dr. Mohammad Reza Reyhanitabar. The title of my PhD thesis is “Algebraic and Side-Channel Analysis of Lightweight Block Ciphers”. I also received M.Sc in Information Security from the Information Security Group (ISG) at the Royal Holloway, University of London in United Kingdom, and both B.Sc (Hons) in Computer Science and Diploma in Electronic Engineering from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). I am a member of Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research.

 

 

Research Interests

 

My research focuses on cryptology, i.e. designing and breaking secret codes particularly symmetric key primitives namely block ciphers, stream ciphers and hash functions.

 

If you are interested in doing PhD or MSc by research with me, below is the list of possible topics within my interest:

 

1. Design of symmetric-key primitives (block ciphers, stream ciphers or hash functions).

2. Cryptanalysis of cryptographic algorithms.

3. Cryptanalysis of security protocols.

4. Side-channel analysis of cryptographic algorithms.

 

 

Teaching

 

I have taught courses on “IT and Network Security”, “Computer Programming” and “Operating Systems”.
