Research

My research spans a broad range of topics related to computer security, privacy, and applied cryptography. Example areas of research include: security in pervasive computing; electronic voting; wireless security and privacy; web security; usable security; information leakage; network forensics; anonymity; provable security for cryptographic protocols; and cryptanalysis. But, honestly, I find that many topics in computer science (and life) have neat security-related twists, so please try me if you have a crazy idea!
