Welcome to the University of Washington computer security and privacy research page! At the University of Washington we take pride in both the breadth and depth of our security and privacy research. We regularly find ourselves pursuing foundational and high-impact research spanning areas such as: Systems security Network security Database privacy Theoretical cryptography Applied cryptography Programming languages Architecture Ubiquitous computing Human-computer interaction. We target research that is not only intellectually stimulating and technically significant, but that is important to society. Our research on electronic voting machines has helped shape national politics and our on-going research on spyware, privacy for RFIDs, and trustworthy networks have the potential to affect countless people's digital lives. Our graduate students have even discussed our research on the Nike+iPod Sport Kit and privacy with national media outlets, including CNN Headline News and NPR. Our research has won awards at top academic conferences (e.g., Tahoma in 2006 and device fingerprinting in 2005), and UW CSE PhD student Gerome Miklau won the ACM SIGMOD Dissertation Award in 2006 for his thesis on "Managing Confidentiality for Exchanged Data." But the above are only a few examples! If you'd like to learn more about security and privacy research at the University of Washington, please visit the research pages for the Systems and Networking, Programming Systems, and Dub groups, the web pages of the individual faculty (on the left), and the web page for the Center for Information Assurance & Cybersecurity. On the lighter side, you might enjoy the 2006-2007 Dr. Computer Science and Engineering holiday skit, which has a special feature on security and privacy. Courses CSE 564 is a new graduate quals course in computer security and privacy. This course replaces the existing CSE 599G graduate course. CSE 484 is a new undergraduate computer security and privacy course. CSE 484 replaces the existing CSE 490K undergraduate course.
