Poovendran's research centers on applied cryptography for multi-user environments, networking and information theory. He has received many awards for his research and teaching in wired and wireless security. He earned a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1999.
Poovendran will address the problem of enabling sensors of wireless sensor networks (WSN) to find their location in an unsafe environment. A range-independent localization algorithm called SeRLoc is proposed.
SeRLoc stands against dangerous WSN attacks, such as the wormhole attack, the Sybil attack and compromised sensors. Poovendran will compare SeRLoc with other advanced schemes.
