Michael E. Locasto
Michael E. Locasto is
a Senior Computer
Scientist at SRI's Computer Science Lab working in the
Infrastructure Security Group. He previously held an appointment as a tenured
Associate Professor in the
Computer Science Department
at the
University of Calgary in
Alberta, Canada.
I study the security of computer systems. I try to understand why
it seems difficult to build secure systems and how we can get better
at it. I also have an interest in innovative approaches to
information security education. I like taking systems apart and
understanding how they really work to discover and fix
vulnerabilities in software. I mainly work on cooperative
security: the challenge of getting security systems to work
together (particularly in complex network environments) to respond
to attacks and interactive security analysis: the challenge
of supporting cooperative analysis of large, opaque artifacts.
