University of Southern California

  • Computer Communications - Spring 2011
    • Developed a TCP Server to handle different kind of requests from multiple remote clients using TCP sockets. Server shutdowns gracefully after timeout, frees all the memory and properly closes all the sockets - gitHub repo
  • Applied Cryptography - Spring 2011
    • Implemented the Base-64 encoding and decoding alogirthm along with the hexdump program
  • Operating Systems (NACHOS) - Fall 2010
    • Implemented thread synchronization and multithreading using locks and condition variables in Nachos OS
    • Created multiprogramming in uniprogrammed Nachos using system calls lock, CV, fork, exec and exit
    • Implemented virtual memory in Nachos by designing TLB, Page Table, IPT, swap file
    • Developed distributed operating System in Nachos using Remote Procedure Calls. Handled loss of Packets also

  • Comparative study of the three different techniques - NAT, IP Tunneling, and Direct Routing - used in the implementation of Linux Virtual Server, through its simulation on NS2
  • Study and Implementation of the concept of Visual Cryptography on the Linux platform using Qt(C++ based) libraries
  • A new Peer to Peer architecture based on the JXTA API's using PoCo(C++ based) libraries
    • Unlike JXTA, integration to web enabled any device having a browser to use this protocol
