DESCRIPTION:By: Paul Grubbs - Cornell University\nIC Faculty candidate\n\n
 Abstract:\nToday’s computer systems and their owners fail to protect dat
 a. Exacerbating this are new threats stemming from the rise of cloud compu
 ting. The consequences are dire: sensitive information like financial stat
 ements\, medical records\, and private messages are disclosed to malicious
  parties. In my research at the intersection of security\, cryptography\, 
 and systems\, I work to change this by breaking and building efficient end
 -to-end (E2E) encrypted systems\, which protect data by keeping it encrypt
 ed throughout processing and storage. In this talk\, I’ll explain some o
 f the flaws I’ve found in existing E2E-encrypted systems deployed to bil
 lions of users\, how the flaws have led me to a new methodology for buildi
 ng these systems that’s rooted in co-design of cryptography and systems\
 , and some of the new E2E-encrypted systems I’m building.\n\nBio:\nPaul 
 Grubbs is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Cornell University. In hi
 s research in security\, cryptography\, and systems\, he designs and analy
 zes systems that use encryption to protect data. To do this\, he uses theo
 retical foundations from cryptography and other fields\, empirical methods
 \, and practical knowledge of real systems. He is the recipient of a 2017 
 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.\n\nMore information
