Education

Technical Competence

Experience with Operating Systems

Experience with Programming Languages

Some of the open source software I have been involved with is available from my web pages.

Tools

I am very familiar with Linux TCP/IP networking stack, Host Identity Protocol and IPsec. I am also very familiar with UNIX sockets and POSIX programming.

Publications

My publications are listed on a separate web page.

Non-technical Competence

My language skills are summarized in the table below. I have also taken one course of Japanese for fun.

I have some experience in speaking to an audience. I have given many presentations on IETF standardization meetings and research seminars. I have given lectures on the following courses at TKK:

• Computer Networks, On Protocol Design, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
• Computer Networks II, HIP Implementation, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
• Information Technology - Basic Course, My Own Computer, Computer Security Basics, 2006, 2007
• Internet Technologies for Mobile Computing, 2010

I have also been tutoring the following courses at TKK:

• Seminar on Internetworking 2012, 2011, 2010, 2005, 2007
• Research Seminar on Telecommunications Software, 2004
• Netsec seminar 2012, 2011, 2010, 2007
• Advanced UNIX course (lapio II), assistant, 2002

I have been the responsible teacher on the following courses:

• Network Application Frameworks 2010
• Laboratory Works in Datacommunications Software 2010-2011
• Laboratory Works on Information Security 2010-2011
• Computer Networks 2012

I have instructed a number of special assignments on telecommunications software. I have instructed (or am instructing presently) a number of master thesis students for both implementation and writing parts:

• Tobias Heer, Lightweight Authentication for the Host Identity Protocol (HIP), August 2006, KuVS award
• Teresa Finez, Backwards Compatibility Experimentation with Host Identity Protocol and Legacy Software and Networks, final project, December 2008
• Blerta Bishaj, Efficient Leap of Faith Security with Host Identity Protocol , June 2008
• Lauri Silvennoinen, Legacy Network Address Translator Traversal Using the Host Identity Protocol, Helsinki University of Technology, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, October 2007.
• Rene Hummen, Secure Identity-based Middlebox Functions using Host Identity Protocol, February 2009
• Weiwei Hu, HIP Proxy, 2009
• Xiang Lu, End-to-end NAT traversal for HIP, 2009
• Tao Wan, Supporting HIP In Legacy End-hosts and Applications, 2009
• Baris Boyvat, Fault Tolerance for End-host Mobility and Multihoming in Host Identity Protocol, to be completed during 2012
• Vu Ba Tien Dung, h-box version 2, to be completed during 2012
• Xin Gu, HIP v2.5, to be completed during 2012

I have also acted as technical advisor for the implementation work of the following master theses:

• Bing Zhou, "Opportunistic Security of Host Identity Protocol", July 2006
• Laura Takkinen, Host Identity Protocol Privacy Management, March 2006
• Essi Vehmersalo, Host Identity Protocol Enabled Firewall: A Prototype Implementation and Analysis, September 2005
• Niklas Karlsson, Enabling Multiple Host Identities on Linux, September 2005
• Mika Kousa, Supporting Multiple IPsec Security Associations in Host Identity Protocol Mobility and Multihoming, Oct 2006
• Xie Xiaolei, An Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for the UMTS Network, April 2008

I have also included miscellaneous experiences in my life below:

• I have been also instructing jujitsu at Takado RY as a hobby since 2002. I have been in Takado board in various positions (member, secretary) since 2005. I have been also as a board member in jujutsuliitto since 2008.
• I have little experience in usability testing and prototyping. I have taken two usability courses at the University and I was conducting usability tests on a prototype in HIIT. We published a paper based on our findings.
• I follow the KISS principle for software development. I tend to split all big software development problems into smaller, more manageable problems.
