Background
I'm a researcher in the at Nokia Research Center (NRC) Helsinki in the Trustworthy Communications and Identities Team of the Internet Core Technology Center. I moved to Finland and joined the Nokia Research Center in 2004 in the Mobile Computer Human-Interaction Competence Area and the Software and Applications Technology Lab. Prior to joining Nokia, I worked between 2000 and 2004 at Ericsson Research Department - Service Networks and Applications Technology. I hold a Ph. D. in Mathematics from the University of Paderborn, where I also worked as a scientific assistent bettween 1996 and 2000.
Research Interests
- Trust and security of transaction systems
- Wireless information security on application and transport layer
- Authentication in fixed mobile convergence
- Privacy mechanisms for mobile environment
- Identity, credential and profile management techniques
- Single Sign On methods and Web Services security
- Digital Rights Management methods
Public Projects and Standardization Activities
To make security happen, I believe it is important to "look over the fence" and work closely together with customers, universities, competitors and other industrial players. For this reason, I have been involved during my carrer directly or indirectly in many standardization and multi-partner projects.
European Union and governmental funded projects
SERENITY System Engineering for Security and Dependability Project
MobiLife Project
Ambient Networks
PAMPAS Project (EU Roadmap project, Pioneering Advance Mobile Privacy and Security)
