People

This project is a collaborative research effort run jointly between the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, UC Santa Barbara, and UC San Diego. In addition to the research objectives, it is our goal to develop methods and techniques that can be passed to future teachers, researchers, and Information Assurance professionals. Initial funding for this research was generously provided by NSF.

Principal Investigators

Ted Huffmire is an assistant professor of computer science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. His research spans both computer security and computer architecture, focusing on hardware-oriented security and the development of policy enforcement mechanisms for application-specific devices. He has a PhD in computer science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.

Timothy Sherwood is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research interests include computer architecture, specifically in the development of novel high-throughput methods by which systems can be constructed, monitored, and analyzed. He has a PhD in computer science and engineering from the University of California, San Diego. He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.

Ryan Kastner is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His research interests focus on many aspects of embedded computing systems, including reconfigurable architectures, digital-signal processing, and security. He has a PhD in computer science from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Co-PIs
