My research focuses on security issues as they relate to storage systems, large-scale systems architectures, and networks. Recently, I have been exploring how advances in storage technologies can be used to improve the state of systems security. By autonomously enforcing policy, storage devices can ensure the security of data even if the host is compromised. Some of my other research areas of interest include security in interdomain routing, propagation of malicious code through the Internet, applied cryptosystems, and using secure hardware to enforce systems security. I direct the OSIRIS Lab at the University of Oregon.
Note: I am looking for strong students with an interest in systems security. Students must have a strong technical background, be comfortable with systems work, and be willing to work hard. If you are not at student at the University of Oregon and you are interested in my research, please apply to the program.
