Recent research by ECE PhD students Nahid Juma and Jonathan Shahen, Professor Mahesh Tripunitara, and an external collaborator, establishes that work that received a prestigious award from the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US, is deficient at its foundations.
The research pertains to a problem called information leakage in the context of cloud-computing, and is especially relevant given the ongoing wide adoption of such cloud-computing technology. The research is to be published in the IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, and is available at https://doi.org/10.1109/TDSC.2018.2790932. Professor Tripunitara is in communication with NSA over these findings.
