Privacy

Nikita Borisov

Professor Borisov's research interests lie in the area of computer security and privacy, especially as applied to large-scale distributed systems. His current focus is on anonymity: analysis of existing anonymous systems and the design of new peer-to-peer anonymous networks.
Rayvon Fouché

As a cultural historian of technology, Rayvon Fouché studies the nature and significance of engineering's impact on society and how social and cultural knowledge influence technological trust.
Carl A. Gunter

Professor Gunter uses his background in programming languages to analyze protocols and systems with respect to trustworthy operation. Information about Professor Gunter's recent work is outlined on the Security Lab page.
Michael C. Loui

Together with undergraduate and graduate students, Professor Loui conducts research in computational complexity theory, ethics in engineering and computing, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Klara Nahrstedt

Professor Nahrstedt's interest in security comes from her work in multimedia systems. Due to the time constraints of multimedia systems, the security issues differ from those in more standard Internet communication. She has pioneered the area of Quality of Protection to explore the tradeoffs between multimedia performance and communication security.
Adam J. Slagell

Mr. Slagell leads the LAIM (Log Anonymization and Information Management) working group, which is funded by NSF project 0524643 (CT-ISG: Computer Log Anonymization and Information Sharing) and the National Center for Advanced Secure Systems Research (NCASSR).
Michael Twidale

Professor Twidale's research focus is sociotechnical systems analysis and design. This involves studying how people learn about computational devices and applications, the ways they make sense of them and misunderstand them, and how they use, tailor, appropriate, combine, and integrate them into their lives.

Recent trust-oriented publications from Michael Twidale include:
Privacy, Security, and Location-Based Tracking Systems

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and global positioning system (GPS) technologies allow the ubiquitous tracking of objects and people. We are analyzing the privacy and security issues raised by location-based tracking systems. Although the collection of information with RFIDs and GPS has benefits, the centralization of the collected information may threaten individual privacy.
Focused Textual Entailment for Semantic Text Annotation

Assessable Identity and Privacy Protection: End-to-End Assessment of Identity and Privacy Protection

funded by the Department of Homeland Security through the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P)
