Jose Sierra is a teaching professor and the associate director of the information assurance and cybersecurity program at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. He earned his master’s in business administration from Rey Juan Carlos University and his master’s in computer science from Málaga University. Sierra obtained his doctorate in computer science from Carlos III University of Madrid.
His research interests have been centered on the design, implementation and management of security services for interconnected systems. Initially, they were based on the foundations of some cryptographic algorithms and later focused on their use for the implementation of security protocols. In recent years, Sierra’s research has evolved to cybersecurity management and how organizations can take strategic decisions, which will help them to counteract cyberthreats. Other areas with remarkable results were Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) protection, P2PSIP security architecture and low-performance computing devices used in Wireless Sensor Networks.
Sierra’s research group, the EVALUES IT Security Laboratory, was triggered by the evaluation of his research in the validation and evaluation of security protocols. His work evolved from formal validation logics for security protocols to assessment methodologies for commercial implementations of IPSEC architecture.
Projects in the aerospace defense sector:
Projects in the realm of national and European-funded research:
Projects with HiTec and telecom providers:
Sierra is also the director of the VICEROY DECREE virtual institute.
