Security mechanisms for high-performance, component-based, distributed systems. Developing a communication security mechanism for high performance component applications for use by the Agile Objects project. This work is constrained by strict performance requirements of the target domain, but identifies and utilizes unique opportunities provided by the same domain.
Usability of system-level security services. Working on the front-end of an Active Spaces Role Based Access Control (AS/RBAC) system. Applying usability methodologies to the GUI development and developing novel techniques for allowing security administrators to explore the state of the security system when proposing changes in order to easily identify anomalies which must be further investigated by hand.
