Out Thinking the Smartest Threats
It’s fair to say that our three labs are engaged in fundamental research. Another way of putting it is that they are trying to overcome serious obstacles, or even out-think a dedicated opponent. Our CIS Lab is working within the context of cyber threats. Our MEI Lab is in a long-term fight against disease and …

Journal of Cyber Policy: RETHINKING THE BIG COMPANY RESEARCH FALLACY
The current practice of using venture funding to conduct technology Research and Development (R&D) is so pervasive and powerful that it leads us to assume that big companies cannot develop successful new technologies. Rather, they’re so slow and bureaucratic that’s it’s preferable for them… https://journalofcyberpolicy.com/2020/05/22/rethinking-big-company-research-fallacy/

Contributions of Attribute-Based Encryption
A paper that Dr. Amit Sahai and I wrote fifteen years ago recently received some attention. Every year, the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR) looks back 15 years and selects three papers presented at its events that have proved to have had an enduring impact. This year the IACR honored our paper “Fuzzy Attribute-Based …
