About

N. Asokan is a leading researcher in systems security, with a focus on the security and privacy of emerging technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile systems, and machine learning. His work addresses critical challenges in securing large-scale, interconnected device swarms, as exemplified by his highly cited paper "SEDA" (2015, 201 citations), which tackles security for dynamic networks in domains such as energy grids, industrial control, and autonomous systems. Asokan’s contributions also extend to adversarial machine learning, where he explores vulnerabilities in deep reinforcement learning policies, as seen in his 2022 work on real-time adversarial perturbations (7 citations). His research has had a profound impact, shaping how we safeguard critical infrastructure and intelligent systems from evolving threats. A pioneer in applied cryptography and system security, Asokan’s work is foundational for students and researchers aiming to build resilient, trustworthy digital ecosystems.
