Research interests: computer security, in particular hardware and signal-processing aspects, including in particular compromising emanations, RFID security, and the security of positioning systems (distance-bounding protocols, authentication of navigation signals), hardware tamper resistance, smartcards, network security, intellectual-property protection technology and software-defined radio applications.

Teaching
In 2021/22, I'm on sabbatical leave and not teaching any courses. In previous years, I taught second and third-year undergraduate courses in the Computer Science Tripos: Security, Cryptography, Digital Signal Processing. I also prepared online tutorial lectures on Unix Tools, LaTeX and MATLAB. In our masters programme, I also ran a Digital Signal Processing and a Hardware Security Practicals module, and many years ago also a reading class on Forensic Signal Analysis.

PhD students: Shih-Chun You and Dimitrije Erdeljan. Former PhD students of mine that have already graduated: Piotr Zieliński, Steven Murdoch, Gerhard Hancke, Saar Drimer, Andrew Lewis, Marios Omar Choudary, Christian O'Connell.
We organize a Security Seminar Series, which is open to the public.
