Zengrui Liu passes his PhD Quals
Zengrui Liu passed his PhD qualifiers: a systematic exposition of web browser fingerprinting. An important (though rather crowded) area, but with many big missing pieces.
Payton Walker passes his PhD Quals
Payton Walker rocked his PhD quals: a synthesization of passive side channel & active command injection attacks on voice interfaces. His work exposes a wide gap–what’s shown via controlled experiments in prior work may not meet the real-world parameterizations of these attacks.
Anuradha Mandal passes her Phd Quals
Paper accepted to WiSec 2020
Hacksaw: Biometric-Free Non-Stop Web Authentication in an Emerging World of Wearables. Prakash Shrestha and Nitesh Saxena In ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec), July 2020.
Paper accepted to CODASPY 2020
CRAPE: A Privacy- Enhanced Crash Reporting System. Kiavash Satvat, Mahshid Hosseimi, Maliheh Shirvanian and Nitesh Saxena In ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy (CODASPY), March 2020.
Mohammed Jubur passes PhD Qualifiers
Mohammed Jubur passes his PhD qualifier with flying colors. His literature survey critically questions the regular advice from security experts to use current password managers (and two factor authentication).
