When you work at a certain level, new concepts and techniques often emerge, sometimes by serendipity, but more often through deliberate effort. These research results, when properly managed, formalized, and peer-reviewed, become small contributions that help move everything forward.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of creating new technologies, methodologies, protocols, and algorithms that have received international recognition through peer-reviewed publications and conferences. Here are some of the most notable:
Cybersecurity Innovations
- Wide-Scope CyberSOC: A proposal to enhance outsourced CyberSOC capabilities, supporting holistic cybersecurity management across public sector organizations and their supply chains.
- FLECO (Fast, Lightweight, and Efficient Cybersecurity Optimization): A multi-objective genetic algorithm framework for identifying cybersecurity solutions aligned with strategic goals. (2023)
- CyberTOMP: A systematic framework for holistic cybersecurity management at tactical-operational levels. (2022)
Innovations on Opensource Governance
- MeGAPOP: A methodology for governing and assessing public open-source software projects, rooted in PMBoK and Prince2, adapted for the public sector. (2011)
Network Engineering and Protocols
- RI-CUBE: A 3D structure for fast access and exploitation of traffic engineering data in interdomain MPLS environments. (2009)
- PCE Discovery Subprotocols: Extensions to OSPF-TE, ISIS-TE, and BGP for discovering PCE elements in inter-AS environments. (2008)
- RABAN: A routing algorithm for balanced active MPLS networks. (2004)
- GPSRP: A protocol for temporary storage and local retransmission of privileged packets in MPLS networks. (2004)
- RLPRP: A protocol for early activation of precomputed backup LSPs for privileged flows. (2004)
- DMGP: Dynamic memory for storing service-guaranteed PDUs in active LERs and LSRs. (2004)
- TLDP: A lightweight, connection-oriented subset of the LDP protocol with confirmed service. (2004)
- EPCD: An algorithm for early packet capture and discard in active LSR and LER buffers. (2004)
These contributions reflect a career-long commitment to applied research and innovation in cybersecurity and network engineering.
