David Wagner Professor Computer Science Division University of California, Berkeley

Research interests. Computer security, especially security of large-scale systems and networks. Applications of static and dynamic program analysis to computer security. I am currently working on software security, smartphone security, electronic voting, and other topics. In the past, I have worked on wireless security, sensor network security, and applied cryptography.

Projects. I'm part of Berkeley's security research group. I am PI for SCRUB, the Intel Science and Technology Center for Secure Computing, and for the DHOSA project. I am also an active member of the TRUST and ACCURATE centers. In the past, I was a co-founder of the ISAAC research group.

Publications. My technical papers and publications are all available online. Some of my technical talks are also available, too.

Teaching. See my past teaching.

Students. I'm lucky to have the chance to work with a group of outstanding graduate students: Erika Chin, Adrienne Felt, Ian Fischer, Matt Finifter, Adrian Mettler, Paul Pearce, and Cynthia Sturton. See also the students I've graduated.

Contacting me. See my contact information for my address and other details. My office hours are by appointment.

Professional activities. I serve on the program committee of Mobile Security Technologies (MoST) 2012. Join me in committing to support open-access publication venues.

Software. Available: Stowaway, a tool for analyzing whether your Android app requests any unnecessary permissions; Comdroid, a tool for detecting security vulnerabilities in your Android app related to inter-application communications (Android intents); AuditBear, a web application for analyzing audit logs from ES&S iVotronic voting machines; Joe-E, a Java-based programming language for secure programming; html-sanitizer-testbed, a suite of tests to probe the security of a HTML sanitizer; and CQual++, a tool for type inference analysis of C and C++ code.

Information for Berkeley undergraduates. Interested in research with me? New: I'm recruiting Berkeley undergraduates who are interested in research on computer security, starting immediately. Contact me with the information listed here if interested.
