Information about my research

Here's an executive summary of my home page for those in a hurry:

My thesis research concerned the design and development of a secure and reliable bootstrap process. The hardware platform for the work was the IBM Personal Computer architecture. I've written several papers about this work which you can find under my research link.

My current research interests are several aspects of computer security. The one that interests me the most at the moment is secure configuration management. My other interests are golf, and my family- not necessarily in that order.

The links page (when completed) contains information related to my interests.
