Joseph Bonneau

I am a PhD candidate in the Security Group of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, supervised by Professor Ross Anderson. I am a Gates Cambridge Scholar and member of Churchill College. I previously received BS and MS degrees from Stanford University and worked as a Cryptographic Scientist at Cryptography Research, Inc.

My educational background is primarily in computer science and mathematics. I have a specific formal background in cryptography, and am interested in all things related to security. I have previously researched side-channel attacks, formal verification of protocols, software obfuscation, and voting security.

My current research focuses on security and privacy in social networks, human authentication and deception, and human-powered cryptography. I maintain an online bibliography of the key papers on security and privacy in social networks.

I provide services as an independent security consultant.

My personal homepage has more information about me, including some of my interests and favorite procrastination activities.
