Abstract:

Speaker Bio:
Devashish Gosain completed his Ph.D. in 2020 from IIIT Delhi in Network Security. In his research, he studied how the knowledge of Internet structure (and maps) can be used to achieve efficient nation-scale traffic filtering. The research involved collecting actual network traces from different Indian ISPs and studying the filtering policies and websites blocked by them. After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the INET research group at Max Planck Institute of Informatics, followed by a year postdoc at the COSIC research group at KU Leuven. During his postdoc, he worked on network security problems like measuring the anonymity of peer-to-peer networks, mitigating MITM attacks in end-to-end encrypted protocols (e.g., Signal), and measuring the impact of privacy laws like GDPR on user tracking, etc. His research has been published in the reputed security and networking venues like CCS, NDSS, INFOCOM, IMC, PETS, Usenix Security, ACSAC, PAM, etc.
