Research

 

My research interests are cryptography, privacy and computer security.

My advisors are Prof. Danny Dolev and Dr. Benny Pinkas (The University of Haifa).

I am member of the Distributed Algorithms, Networking and Secure Systems Group (DANNS).

 

Master Thesis

 

My master thesis is on Linux Pseudo Random Number Generator (LRNG).  It can be downloaded in PS or PDF formats.

My advisor was Prof. Dahlia Malkhi and I worked closely with Zvi Gutterman, a PhD candidate at the time.

We worked on Linux kernel version 2.6.10. The main source file of this version, random.c, can be downloaded here.

The work includes a user-mode simulator of LRNG.

A light version for Windows platform can be downloaded here, the source code of this executable is here, and a README file is here.
