State-Based Attacks

This project focuses on creating a theoretical framework to protect serverless and FaaS architectures from various state-based attacks, enhancing security in cloud computing environments.

A tall, metal structure equipped with multiple security or surveillance cameras is standing in a field of tall grass and plants. The sky is overcast with scattered pinkish clouds, suggesting an early morning or evening setting.

Research Portfolio

Exploring serverless architectures and state-based attack security.

An angular modern building facade featuring large overhanging roofs, a mix of glass and metal surfaces, and external security cameras mounted near the eaves. The structure includes vertical slats and a staircase with metal railings.
