Hybrid Space and Submarine Architecture to Ensure Information Security of Telecommunications

HEIST proposes a hybrid architecture for strengthening undersea communications by combining cable monitoring, situational awareness, satellite rerouting, and smart-contract-based coordination.

My contributions included simulation work and modeling for rerouting essential traffic from submarine cables to satellite networks during disruption scenarios.
