Policy-Governed Secure Collaboration

Visible to the public Scalable Privacy Analysis

One major shortcoming of the current "notice and consent" privacy framework is that the constraints for data usage stated in policies--be they stated privacy practices, regulation, or laws--cannot easily be compared against the technologies that they govern. To that end, we are developing a framework to automatically compare policy against practice. Broadly, this involves identifying the relevant data usage policies and practices in a given domain, then measuring the real-world exchanges of data restricted by those rules.

Visible to the public Reasoning about Accidental and Malicious Misuse via Formal Methods

This project seeks to aid security analysts in identifying and protecting against accidental and malicious actions by users or software through automated reasoning on unified representations of user expectations and software implementation to identify misuses sensitive to usage and machine context.
