Teaching
I teach second and third year undergraduate courses in the Computer Science Tripos: Security, Cryptography, Digital Signal Processing, Unix Tools, and give an introductory lecture on LaTeX and MATLAB.
Course materials pages: 2018/19, 2017/18, 2016/17, 2015/16, 2014/15, 2013/14, 2012/13, 2011/12, 2010/11, 2009/10.
PhD students: Shih-Chun You. 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.
