Tutor profile: Nikhil G.

• Developed a lightweight remote attestation protocol called PAtt to detect the presence of roving malware in deployed IoT devices while ensuring high sensor availability. Worked under the guidance of Dr.Biplab Sikdar. • Decreased iterations required for malware detection with a 95% probability from 900-1000 in older techniques like SWATT to 4-5 in our case. • Reduced energy required for executing attestation by around 70% compared to SWATT. • Increased sensor availability by over 90% compared to other techniques. • The work has been submitted...
