Research Interests

My research interests are network security and online privacy. There is a natural overlap between these: privacy enhancing technologies can be used by attackers to evade detection, and privacy invasive technologies can be used by network defenders for situational awareness. As a result, the attackers and defenders frequently swap places depending on context, so I named my research group "hatswitch".
