I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California at Davis. I am one of the co-directors of the Computer Security Laboratory here. I am blessed with a job that sends me traveling to interesting places. The picture above is me in Erzsébet Tér, a lovely park (square, actually) in Budapest, Hungary, I'm looking at an interesting sculpture (yes, those are locks).
I do research in computer security. Currently, my interests seem to focus on election processes, data sanitization, and the insider problem. I also like teaching.
My book Computer Security: Art and Science was published by Addison-Wesley Professional in December 2002. A somewhat different version, Introduction to Computer Security, was published two years later, again by Addison-Wesley Professional. Check them out and see which you prefer.
Graduate Admissions. Click here for information on being admitted to do graduate work in information assurance or computer security, including a link to the on-line application. Please do not write me asking about your chances of getting in, or if I will admit you. I get too many such letters to answer them, and my answers are the same for everyone: I don’t know, and I do not have the authority to, respectively.
