Research on Tap: The Many Facets of Cybersecurity Research (2017)
In an age of high-profile hacking, mass information breaches, and crippling malware attacks, our ability to keep information safe from harm is more pressing than ever. BU’s leading cybersecurity expert, Ran Canetti, Professor, Computer Science, CAS, and Director, Center for Reliable Information Systems & Cyber Security (RISCS), led this Research on Tap discussion that tackled this timely issue through multiple disciplines and approaches. Presentations topics included: the engineering of computer systems that are resilient to errors and hacking; the design of algorithms that guarantee the privacy and authenticity of information and computations; social issues, such as our expectations for personal privacy, the economic fairness of regulation, and the ubiquity of information systems; economic incentives for consumers and vendors; and legal and political issues, such as the tension between liberty and government control and cybersecurity’s role in international power struggles; among others.
