Current Projects

  • The Advanced Forensics Format (AFF), a new format for storing images of magnetic and electronic digital media.
  • The Forensics Wiki. I founded this wiki, monitor it, and occasionally contribute.
  • Pervasive Signed Email. Now that roughly 90% of all Internet users have S/MIME-compliant mail programs, its time for companies like PayPal and Amazon to be sending out digitally signed mail as a matter of course. It would help in the fight against both spam and phishing. How can we get them to do it? Read the CHI 2005 paper.
  • I am the program co-chair for the 2009 Symposium on Usable Privacy and Security
