Research Interests
Stefano Paris’s research activity focuses the attention on the design of security mechanisms for wireless networks. More specifically, I am currently working on the development of new authentication and key distribution protocols with minimum computational and communication overhead in order to use efficiently the available resources of wireless networks.
I am further working on the development of enhanced routing protocols to improve the network reliability in the presence of Byzantine adversaries. To this end, I am also working on the design of intrusion detection systems to identify and isolate insider adversaries, eventually restoring the normal operation of the network.

Scientific Collaborations
Purdue University (IN, USA). In January 2010, I was invited by Professor Cristina Nita-Rotaru to visit the Computer Science Department at Purdue University, Indiana, USA, for 9 months. Since then, I have been cooperating with Prof. Nita-Rotaru on topics related to security and reliability in wireless multi-hop networks.
Industrial Collaborations
Espia s.r.l (Milan) and MobiMESH s.r.l (Milan). Within this collaboration, I have dealt with the design of wireless mesh network devices based on Commercial Off-The-Shelf Equipment, and the implementation of innovative protocols and algorithms to solve the problems that are introduced by this technology, like routing, mobility, network management and security. The activity has also involved accu-rate analysis of the network performance to estimate the effectiveness and efficiency of the implemented solutions in several scenarios.
