Awards and Honors
Honorable mention in the 2004-2005 University Book Store Academic Excellence Award Competition
for a research project that aims to
identify the optimal number of peripheral computers (if any) that the attacker
should compromise, and to characterize how that number changes with respect to
changes in parameters such as the cost of a successful attack on the peripheral
computers, the value of a successful attack on each peripheral computer, and the
value of a successful attack on the core computer.
