Welcome
I was born in Lisbon in 1973. I've concluded my BSc (5 years degree) in 1996, in Management and Computer Science, at ISCTE. I concluded my MSc in 2002, at ISCTE, with a specialization in Information Security (Information System Management). The thesis topic was "The importance of PKI for the Digital Content E-Commerce".
I am currently teaching at ISCTE/DCTI, giving classes related to Information Security, Development and Management of Information Systems and IS/IT Project Management. I was one of Adetti's Vice-President (I am no longer at that position) and currently Project Manager and Consultant in R&D projects at Adetti in the Networks, Multimedia and Security lab.
My main research topics are Information Security, PKI, Secure Access to Multimedia Content and Digital Rights Management. Currently I'm working on my PhD, about the DRM platform Interoperability topic in cooperation with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya in Barcelona.
I've been working on several national and international projects: ACTS AC051 OKAPI, ACTS AC242 OCTALIS, IST-1999-11443 OCCAMM, IST-2000-28646 PRIAM, IST-2001-34144 MOSES, FP6 IP MEDIANET, FP6 NoE E-Next, FP6 STREP WCAM. I've also participated on a European Space Agency project (HICOD2000). I'm also the author and co-author of several papers in international conferences, journals and project deliverables. I'm also the author of several books on PHP. You may also take a look at my personal Blog (this is in only in Portuguese).
