01Security starts with better decisions.

Geonmin KimDNSLAB · Chonnam National University
I am a master’s student in Artificial Intelligence Convergence at Chonnam National University (DNSLAB, advisor: Prof. Kyungbaek Kim). My primary research identity is AI-based security — intrusion detection, security machine learning, and policy systems for cloud and distributed environments. I also have substantial experience in decentralized identity (DID) — method security, interoperability, and KISA-related work — which complements my interest in trust and verification in distributed systems. Other collaborations (networked AI, applied sensing) appear under Projects and Publications.
02Questions that move us forward.
Core agenda for doctoral study: making AI-driven security decisions reliable, explainable, and deployable in cloud and distributed systems — with complementary work on decentralized identity trust and interoperability.
-
False-positive-aware federated decision fusion
Decision-level fusion and thresholding that accounts for asymmetric error costs, so intrusion alerts remain usable under real false-positive constraints.
-
Explainable security policy generation and placement
SHAP- and transformer-based policy orchestration that turns model evidence into actionable hybrid-cloud security controls and edge–cloud placement.
-
AI-based intrusion detection for cloud and distributed environments
Learning-based detection and adaptive enforcement across hybrid-cloud and distributed infrastructures, from log-driven models to low-latency policy caching.
-
Decentralized identity (DID) security and interoperability
Method security analysis, verification consistency, and resolution/interoperability for DID systems — including KISA-related work on document retrieval and trust frameworks.
