Research

My interests broadly span security, privacy, and cryptography. A few of the research areas my group is now exploring are:

  • Blockchains, cryptocurrency, and smart contracts: Today’s cryptocurrencies represent just one point in a large design space of financial instruments. How might we make blockchain systems more flexible and relevant to banks, governments, and ordinary users?
  • Cloud security: How can cloud providers best provide security for their tenants? How can tenants best protect themselves from threats in the cloud?
  • Honey objects: As part of a general counterintelligence strategy to defend systems with eroding security perimeters, how can we deceive adversaries with fake resources?
