Revision as of 16:19, 4 May 2020
My primary research interests center on data, and specifically data security, privacy, storage and correlation. In the 1990s my emphasis was largely on data security, largely driven by my experiences working an Internet service provider on Martha's Vineyard. From 1998-2003 I worked on network monitoring---first telephone networks, then IP networks---at Sandstorm Enterprises. From 2003 through 2014 I worked mostly on the digital forensics of stored data. Since 2015 I have mostly worked on data privacy and ethics issues, exploring de-identification at NIST and now differential privacy at the US Census Bureau. I also have strong interest in usability.
As of May 2020, I am looking for students to help on the following projects:
- Improving the usefulness of the https://digitalcorpora.org/ website, with:
- Providing better visualizations of the data sets we have available for download
- Identifying which data sets are being used with better real-time analysis of our web server log files.
- Provide brief summary web pages of each dataset, like a forensic nutrition label. (We also need to develop the forensic nutrition label.)
- Engaging the digital forensics educational community to find out what data sets would be more useful.
- Papers about the current state of Cloud Forensics
- An overview paper for ACSAC 2020.
- A review journal paper that goes deeper and looks at the full subject/
- Paper(s) on AI and Digital Forensics
- What is AI being used for, and what could it be used for?
- Can we apply AI ethics to this?
- Paper on the philosophy of differential privacy.
- Paper on AI Ethics and Security for NSPW
- Completing NIST SP 800-188, de-identifying government datasets.
For Summer 2020, students working with me will get:
- Regularly scheduled phone or video conferences to discuss their progress.
- The opportunity to collaborate on submitted research papers, and their name as a co-author on any papers that are submitted based on research that they participate in.
- References/recommendations that can be used for future academic programs or employment.
