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.
