  Junior Researcher

  I served as a junior researcher within the DiCoMas Project, working under the aegis of the Department of Computer Science at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. My research endeavors were centered on the subject of secure collaboration, specifically concerning the exchange of sensitive information within various domains, including supply chain management and healthcare institutions, commonly referred to as E-Health. The crux of my research involved a comprehensive analysis of cryptographic techniques, such as Digital Signatures and Liability Enhanced Certificates. Additionally, I delved into the realm of privacy-enhancing and anonymity technologies, exploring concepts like Group and Ring Signatures, Digital credential systems, Anonymous delegation of rights, Anonymous communication networks, Identity management systems, and Privacy policies. To augment this research, I ventured into the study of advanced algorithms and their applications, covering topics like Fair exchange of electronic data, Private information retrieval, and Electronic voting. Furthermore, my research efforts extended to the development of tools, techniques, and mechanisms tailored to the domains of Supply Chain Management and E-Health. I employed Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) methodologies, utilizing languages such as Core Java and C++, and incorporated graphical user interfaces (GUI) into my software solutions. The DiCoMas project was a collaborative endeavor involving a diverse team of international researchers hailing from various corners of the globe. Among the esteemed research partners contributing to the project were the AgentWise task force within the DistriNet research group, based in the Department of Computer Science at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Additionally, the SecAnon task force, also a part of the DistriNet research group, played a vital role in the project's success. কম দেখুন
