1. Name of Research Group: Computer Networks and Security

 
  1. Introduction of Research Group: (please provide brief introduction of Research Group, maximum 150 words).

Computer Networks and Security group is aimed at developing architectures and protocols for the optimization of both wired and wireless network. It is especially focusing on latest low power wireless networks, standards and security aspects of these networks. Developing solutions for resource constrained networks ranging cross different layers of the network architecture has been the prime focus of our work.
