Current CyLab Chronicles
CyLab Chronicles is a series of articles that provide insight into the
research conducted in CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University. From
smartphones to network configuration protocols, face-recognition
applications to privacy policy, the details come to light in the
Chronicles. The series is written by Richard Power,
an internationally-recognized cybersecurity expert and CyLab
Distinguished Fellow. Power is the author of numerous books and
conceived and designed the "CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey"
(1995-2002), an annual study, conducted in conjunction with the FBI
Computer Crime Squad.

Indeed, CyLab is an audacious undertaking; and doing justice to such audacity has been quite a challenge. How do you sustain a narrative that is so complex? How do you communicate the prevailing spirit of the overall program, while at the same time documenting the painstaking progress of individual researchers? Since its launch in 2008, CyLab Online has pursued these daunting goals. And as of this writing, we have over two thousand pages of content, stretching across two central hubs, as well as several other outposts throughout the World Wide Web. Let us take you on a brief tour of some of what is available via CyLab Online.Mike Farb Offers Insights Into SafeSlinger, CyLab's Powerful New Smartphone App
We want to provide secure operations even with careless users and powerful local adversaries who can monitor our messages and potentially alter our messages. We want to be able to detect group members attempting to impersonate other groups members. We want to eliminate the need to count in large groups. We want to enable remote operation, so that we can also do this over the phone. (We can assure each other of our presences, because we can recognize our voices in real time.) We want no information leaked to outsiders, even if the protocol fails.
