R. C. Sekar

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Operating system
• Programming language
• Microsoft Windows

Computer security, Intrusion detection system, Exploit, Anomaly detection and Buffer overflow are his primary areas of study. His work on Security policy, Code Access Security and Malware as part of general Computer security study is frequently connected to Verification procedure, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. The study incorporates disciplines such as System call, Attack model, Internet privacy and Access control in addition to Intrusion detection system.

His work on Memory corruption as part of general Exploit study is frequently linked to SQL injection, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Buffer overflow research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Address space, Information leakage, Return-oriented programming and Address space layout randomization. His study looks at the intersection of Address space layout randomization and topics like Stack buffer overflow with Code and Executable.

His most cited work include:

• Address obfuscation: an efficient approach to combat a board range of memory error exploits (535 citations)
• A fast automaton-based method for detecting anomalous program behaviors (533 citations)
• Specification-based anomaly detection: a new approach for detecting network intrusions (355 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

R. C. Sekar mostly deals with Computer security, Exploit, Intrusion detection system, Theoretical computer science and Operating system. His Computer security research incorporates elements of Buffer overflow, Software and Server. R. C. Sekar interconnects Address space layout randomization and Source code in the investigation of issues within Buffer overflow.

His Memory corruption study, which is part of a larger body of work in Exploit, is frequently linked to SQL injection, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work deals with themes such as Network packet, Anomaly detection, System call, Specification language and Key, which intersect with Intrusion detection system. R. C. Sekar combines subjects such as Pointer and Code with his study of Operating system.
