Edward J. Schwartz

Introduction

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Electronic and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in almost all aspects of Computer Security. Currently, I am most interested in designing and verifying secure network protocols, practical techniques for protecting against commonplace vulnerabilities (buffer overflows, integer overflows, etc.), binary program analysis, and applications of trusted computing.
