| People This project is a collaborative research effort run jointly between the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey and the University of California in Santa Barbara. 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 through grant #0524771 for "Adaptive Security and Separation in Reconfigurable Hardware".
Principal Investigators Tim Levin is a Research Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School. His research interests include the design of high assurance computer systems and the application of formal methods to secure computer systems. Thuy Nguyen is a Research Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School. Her research interests include multilevel security applications and trusted operating systems and kernels. Cynthia E. Irvine is a Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) where she is the Founder and Director of the Center for Information Systems Security Studies and Research. Dr. Irvine received her B.A. degree from Rice University, Houston, TX and her Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. Professor Irvine has published over 70 papers and reports on her research in computer and network security.
Tim Sherwood is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara. Before joining UCSB in 2003 he received his B.S in computer engineering from UC Davis and his M.S. and Ph.D. from UC San Diego where he worked with Professor Brad Calder. His research interests include network and security processors, program phase analysis, and hardware support for embedded software design. Ryan Kastner is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received a PhD in Computer Science at UCLA, a masters degree (MS) in engineering and bachelor degrees (BS) in both electrical engineering and computer engineering, all from Northwestern University. His current research interests lie in the realm of embedded systems, in particular reconfigurable computing, compilers and sensor networks. Researchers Ted Huffmire is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School. He received his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara and his A.B. from Princeton. His research focus is hardware-assisted security, especially the development of policy-driven mechanisms for special-purpose devices. | |||||||
