About me
I am assistant professor in George Mason University's Computer Science Department. My research focuses on measurable security in core Internet protocols, Internet-scale cybersecurity systems, and application-level/endpoint protections that can be derived from these. I am the director of the Measurable Security Lab (MSL).
Research in the MSL focuses on evaluating and evolving protections by using measurements and data analysis: measurement-based (or measurable) security. This work involves systems implementation (both of measurement apparatuses and endpoint security software), large-scale data analyses, innovations to network protocols, and ultimately developing Internet-scale cybersecurity that works! The MSL maintains the world’s only complete longitudinal measurements of the Internet’s first deployment of a secure core protocol: the Domain Name System’s (DNS’) Security Extensions (DNSSEC). This is a 36.6 billion row database that spans 16+ years, and is actively growing and evolving. We conduct research to learn lessons from what has worked in order to propose cybersecurity for tomorrow.
