Short Bio
Ivan was born in Zagreb, Croatia. He received his Diploma degree (equivalent to M.Sc.) in computer science in 2003 from the University of Technology Darmstadt. In 2008, he received his Doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) from the University of Kaiserslautern. From 2009, he is a post-doc researcher supported by the Carl-Zeiss Foundation scholarship. Currently, Ivan is on a research stay at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) working together with Prof. Gene Tsudik and his team at the Secure Computing & Networking Centre (SCONCE).
Research
My research interests are in the area of network security and applied cryptography. In particular, the focus of my current work is on:
- design, implementation, and analysis of security protocols for wireless networks,
- protocol resilience against DoS attacks and resource protection,
- quantifying security tradeoffs.
I have also been working on other research issues like network performance, resource management, decentralized coordination in wireless networks, and trust issues in overlay networks.
The complete list of my publications can be found here: Publications
- The DiscoSec IEEE 802.11 ready-to-use device driver for efficient authentication of management and data frames is available for download as an open source project in section Downloads.
Teaching
Starting from the summer term 2009, I'll be teaching the new course Security in Wireless Networks at TU Kaiserslautern, covering security issues of different wireless technologies (ranging from cellular networks such as GSM and UMTS, to short-range WSNs and RFIDs).
Also, I have been involved in teaching of the following courses:
- Project/Praktikum: Performance Modeling of Distributed Systems (Winter 2007/2008)
- Performance Modeling of Distributed Systems (Winter 2005, 2006)
- Security in Distributed Systems (Winter 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008)
- Seminar on Mobile Computing (Winter 2006, 2007, 2008)
- Communication Networks II (Summer 2003, 2004 @ University of Technology Darmstadt)
