    Projects:

    An Intrusion Detection System for Unix Servers

    This project was undertaken as a final year thesis project. The system developed is a combination of a Host and Network Based Intrusion Detection System. It is capable of detecting and preventing Intrusions in Realtime. The system has been successfully installed and is being used at REC Trichy.

    Web based Internet Usage Accounting System

    The package is a proxy server cum accounting system which works on a hybrid NT-Linux network. The user logins are authenticated on an NT server, and the web usage statistics of each user in a certain domain are logged on the Linux machine which acts as the gateway to the internet and runs the proxy server.

    A protocol for Secured Electronic Transactions over the Internet

    This project was undertaken as a part of my Undergraduate Coursework. The project aims to study the feasibility and functionality of SET (Secured Electronic Transactions) protocol which is being used for Electronic Transactions over the internet. The project also proposes a few modifications to SET in order to improve the security features.

    Graphical Interface Extensions for Indian Scripts

    This project was undertaken as a Summer project in '99 at the Indian Institute of Information Technology at Hyderabad. It deals with incorporating Indian Script support in X Windows applications on Linux. The X library was modified to support Indian Scripts as a part of this project. An X Virtual Terminal with support for Indian Scripts (rxvt-idev) was also developed.

    Integrated Services Firewall for Windows NT

    This project was undertaken as a Winter Project in '97 at Applitech Solution Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad. Proxies for Http, Telnet, Ftp, Gopher, News and WAIS were developed as a part of this project.

    Job Experience :

    Currently working at Cisco Systems, Bangalore as a Software Engineer in the WAN Edge Business Unit which works on Cisco's high end routers - the 7200 and the 7500 Series. My job at Cisco deals with developing and testing device drivers on IOS 12.1 platform for PA VXC-2TE1 port adapters. The VXC-2TE1 port adapters provide high capacity, large-scale voice, termination to private branch exchanges (PBXs), and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for central-site and large-branch packet voice applications. I also work on developing an API supporting the Gatekeeper Transaction Message Protocol (GKTMP) for Solaris and Linux. This API enables an administrator to remoteley configure and monitor a Cisco router to act as a gatekeeper for a telephony network.
