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. In this research he takes a systems approach, with rigorous, quantitative metrics of anonymity and analysis with help from simulations. Prof. Borisov is also working on other privacy-enhancing technologies, such as techniques for privacy-preserving data aggregation, as well as research into building reliable and secure peer-to-peer networks.
