Anand is a principal investigator and key external interface for Intel's research collaboration with academia, government, and commercial labs in the area of Trusted Platforms and Computer Security. Anand has served as an expert consultant to APAC governments in connection with IT legislation efforts. He traveled to India in 1999 and delivered a presentation to the Ministry of Commerce regarding evolution/passage of e-commerce legislation. Likewise, he was an invited expert to an e-business security panel at the Singapore IT roadmap launch organized by IDA (Singapore's IT organization). Anand was an active member of the IEEE Working Group that crafted the P1363 standard; the P1363 spec is considered the definitive standard relating to public-key cryptography. Anand and his team were instrumental in developing the Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) spec and open-source reference implementation. CDSA was adopted as a worldwide standard by The Open Group (TOG) in Dec 1999 after extensive technical review and gained rapid acceptance as a security infrastructure of choice in emerging markets. Anand's team was also responsible for driving several other security standardization efforts (UPnP-Security, PKCS#11, and BioAPI). Prior to joining Intel in 1994, Anand was the technical lead for the Trusted-Unix team at Sequent Computer Systems (now IBM) and worked on the design, development, and certification of Sequent's TCSEC B1-level Trusted Operating System.
Anand holds a Masters degree in Computer Science from the University of Kentucky (USA) and a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from IIT-Roorkee (India).
