ʰǴڱǰ, his colleagues , Randi Thomas, and former PhD supervisor have won the 2019 USENIX Security Test of Time Award for their research that also received the Best Paper Award at the in 1996.
Researchers at the University of ݮƵ have integrated the use of blockchain into energy systems, a development that could result in expanded charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
In a study that outlines the new blockchain-oriented charging system, the researchers found that there is a lack of trust among charging service providers, property owners and owners of electric vehicles (EVs).
CPI would like to announce Chang Ge as the recipient of the Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute's Graduate Scholarship sponsored by Symcor 2019/2020.
Chang Ge is a PhD student in the Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of ݮƵ since 2016, advised by Professor Ihab Ilyas. Previously, he obtained a MMath in Computer Science from the University of ݮƵ in 2014. His research interest is in the area of data systems, with current interest in managing data quality on private data. His work has been applied in SAP HANA, IBM DB2 and Microsoft Azure Services.
C&O graduate students and have won the Best Young Researcher Paper Award at , the 39th Annual International Cryptology Symposium.
Cheriton School of Computer Science ʰǴڱǰ has been named a tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Privacy Enhancing Technologies. He is one of 14 University of ݮƵ researchers and the only member from the Faculty of Mathematics to receive this prestigious national research chair in this year’s award cycle.
The Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI) hosted the All Hands On Deck for a Security Incident workshop at True North 2019 and announced their new industry collaboration with CyberCity, a ݮƵ Region cybersecurity industry organization.
Originally built as a way to secure cryptocurrency transactions, blockchain is a digital platform that verifies and records exchanges. Blockchains are global networks that can have millions of users, each adding information or data that is secured through cryptography. This creates an indisputable history of these transactions that cannot be modified by a single user, eliminating opportunities for fraud, and it is this feature that has some heralding blockchain as a way of increasing cybersecurity.
A new cybersecurity system developed by researchers at the University of ݮƵ has a set a new standard in the fight to protect people from malicious online attacks.
The new tool, a naming system called Bitforest, is one of the first systems that provides an efficient method of decentralized, online security in a way that is easy for the average person to use. The naming system converts more easily remembered names, such as usernames and domain names, to values like public keys needed for securely communicating with computer services and devices.
Cheriton School of Computer Science spoke about cybersecurity, privacy and ethics in the age of machine learning and artificial intelligence to high school students at the , held this year on February 4 to 5, 2019 in Toront
Computer scientists at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science have found a novel method to help travellers protect sensitive information from border control agents.
The system is being developed into an app called “Shatter Secrets” by Erinn Atwater, who is the research director of the not-for-profit , an organization dedicated to understanding, researching and serving the privacy needs of marginalized and highly targeted at-risk communities.
