Research

My research interests generally focus on Internet security and privacy. My current Ph.D. work [5, 6] enhances Internet privacy by helping service providers defend against a major source of network traffic analysis. My prior work [3, 4] demonstrated that traffic analysis could be leveraged against the video streaming protocol used by Netflix and other leading video streaming providers in order to identify the specific video being watched by a user.
