Security & Privacy
"Anomalous Payload-based Network Intrusion Detection" (2004) describes one of the first anomaly detection methods for identifying deviations indicative of a security breach.
The University of San Diego has named Maritza Johnson (PhD '12) as the director of the new center that will address issues concerning big data and artificial intelligence, and their social implications — ethics, privacy, and fairness.
About
The security group works on a diverse set of security and privacy issues arising across the software/hardware stack.
The key research goal of the group is to design, develop, and deploy principled solutions for improving the security and privacy aspects of computer systems.
The group has a broad set of expertise ranging from systems security to designing privacy policies. It is a highly collaborative group and most of their students are co-advised by multiple faculty members.
