Biography

Dr. Pereniguez-García conducts research on network access authentication, key distribution, and privacy in wireless and mobile networks. This work has led to significant contributions in the design of efficient network access control mechanisms and generic authentication solutions for federated, cloud-based application services. His expertise has also been applied to enhancing communications security in Intelligent Transportation Systems. The outcomes of this research have been transferred to industry through active participation in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardization process, resulting in four Internet-Drafts and one IETF Request for Comments (RFC 7499).

In addition, Dr. Pereniguez-García conducts research on the provision of network security services within the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) ecosystem. His work focuses on adapting well-established network-level security mechanisms to these emerging and challenging network environments, with the objective of enabling autonomous and automated management of secure communications. The scientific contributions in this area have also been transferred to industry through the development of an international standard specification published by the IETF (RFC 9061).
