Broad Research Area: Information Assurance / Security / Privacy / Cryptography
Research Interests:
My primary interests involves Machine Learning applied to hard problems in computer security, where adversaries are clever, and the data available is overwhelming. The range of problems spans the human aspects of security to advanced polymorhpic shellcode engines to privacy-preserving deep packet inspection.
Several new projects are currently under development dealing with software source analytics, embedded device insecurity, clean-slate design of security computer systems, and FOG computing. FOG computing (www.cs.columbial.edu/ids/FOG) the automatic generation of believable, bogus, “decoy” information placed in the cloud along with otherwise true information to hide what is true from what is bogus. This strategy provides a “fog” of misinformation to protect sensitive, real information in the cloud!
Several PostDoc positions are immediately available to conduct research on two new DARPA projects (CRASH and ADAMS programs) and an AFOSR contract dealing with security of software of unknown provenance.
