I am a computer scientist who is focused on computer security and technology policy. I completed a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge in the autumn of 2007.
My research focus there was on the intersection of economics and information security. I worked in the Computer Security Group of the Computer Laboratory and was supervised by Dr. Ross Anderson. He maintains the Economics and Security Resource Page, a useful introduction to this area.
In particular, my dissertation investigated the application of software engineering techniques to software vulnerabilities and software security. In earlier work which was also in the dissertation, I proposed ‘bug auctions’ for vulnerabilities as a means of ascertaining the market value of a vulnerability.
