Academic Credentials

PhD. in information Technology

George Mason University — Fairfax, VA 2006 to 2012

PhD in Information Technology
Thesis Title: Trust Management in Smart Spaces (see publications)
• Research focused on formulating a trust model that satisfies the needs of smart spaces including the ability to deal with diverse decision makers, multilink trust decisions and multilateral decision making. For proof of concept an android based location disclosure application was built and used to test that end users can understand and use the trust model. The trust model allows user personalization through privacy policies and multiple levels of access.

PhD Dissertation Research Project- “Trust Management in Smart Spaces”
• Devised a trust model for smart spaces that can handle diverse participants, multilink and multilateral decision making. Individual users can personalize the trust model by creating and maintaining privacy policies that assign access level based on the trustee’s category membership or other conditions.
• Devised a general trust model that is applicable in diverse problem scenarios including location disclosure, filtering of content, service provider selection and granting access to resources and services.
• Developed an android based location disclosure application that employs the android location package and the ‘point in polygon algorithm’ to return the ‘building’ the user is located. (see publications)
