Bryan Jeffrey Parno

Bryan Parno works in the Security and Privacy Research Group at Microsoft Research. He completed his Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of Adrian Perrig, after receiving a Bachelor's degree from Harvard College. Dr. Parno's dissertation won the 2010 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award.He has continued his work on verifiable computation, receiving a Best Paper Award at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy for advances in that area. In 2011, he coauthored the book Bootstrapping Trust in Modern Computers. His work on security for new application models received a Best Practical Paper Award at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy and a Best Paper Award at the USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation. He has recently extended his interest in bootstrapping trust to the problem of building practical, formally verified secure systems. His other research interests include user authentication, secure network protocols, and security in constrained environments (e.g., RFID tags, sensor networks, and vehicles).
