M. Zubair Rafique

I have graduated from CASE, BSC Electrical Engineering with majors in Telecommunication together with good team work experience in development of Embedded and Telecommunication projects such as Bio-inspired Self Defending Security Framework for IP Multimedia Subsystem (still working on it) and Information Retrieval through SMS, which requires good judgment, and analytical inquiring mind.

Currently I m working as a research Engineer in nexGIN RC on a project Bio-inspired Self Defending Security Framework for IP Multimedia Subsystem. The aim of this project is to develop an intelligent Bio-inspired self-defending/ self-healing security frame work for IP Multimedia System (IMS) and Next Generation All-IP Networks, which will complement existing authentication and encryption mechanisms to protect infrastructure nodes and subscribers against the attacks launched by malicious nodes in the network. These unique and real-time vulnerabilities which need to be addressed in the IMS network include: IMS framework-related vulnerabilities, SIP protocol vulnerabilities, VoIP/ video/ PoC/ Messaging/ Presence/ Conferencing application vulnerabilities; and voice spam, media plane related vulnerabilities. This framework is expected to become a cardinal component that will protect against the misuse of the network resources of an operator. The goal is that our system will ultimately become integral part of security for IMS and Next Generation All-IP networks.

During my education and professional career, I involved in extra curricular activities. I have brushed up my leadership skills by organizing IEEE conference (ICET 2005) and various sports and literary events and polished my interpersonal and management skills by leading the Sports club for a year.
