NEW:This page has been updated in May 2007 with the recent papers.

Over the last few years I have been working in finance on topics ranging from optimal asset allocation to time series analysis. This page does not say much about my work in this area.

I have been working on the theory of anonymity, in particular ways of measuring it in the context of mix systems. This may lead to new techniques of building anonymity systems which provide users with certain guarantees about the anonymity they are "experiencing". This is the subject of my PhD dissertation and various papers. Here is one: "Towards an Information Theoretic Metric for Anonymity " (with George Danezis ) criticises the traditional notion of anonymity set and introduces a metric which takes into account that different messages may not be equally likely to be sent/received by all the parties in the anonymity set. Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET 2002). This paper got the award for outstanding research in Privacy Enhancing Technologies, 2002. George made a webpage about it.

Recently I have been working on Economics of Security. A relevant workshop is here. A good page of links on the subject is here.

Every so often I come back to the topic of Peer-to-Peer systems and how they can be used for anonymity, censorship resistance, and quite how secure we can make them. Several of my papers consider this problem.


In 2000-2001, I was working with  Peter Sewell and Keith Wansbrough on writing down the rigorous semantics of UDP and sockets. This includes (but is by no means limited to) detailed understanding of local errors, ICMP, slow and fast system calls, packet dropping policies, martianness, etc.
Results of this work are on the Netsem page.

More about my work can be found on the research page.


For interest only, I have put the questions from the British Computer Science Olympiad (2001) online. If anyone objects to this, please let me know!


Personal

I have a short personal page as well.

Someone has asked me to put my list of useful commands on my webpage. If someone complains about the format, I'll put it into HTML. Some of it is CL-specific, but may be useful to someone. If you have one, please send me a copy! SimonPJ's Win32 Cheat Sheet appropriate to reference at this point!

The Computer Lab have moved to the new building in August 2001.
Keith has constructed an page describing our office, FE21, and a page describing our machine names both of which I feel obliged to link to!

Privacy Policy

In the EU, IP addresses are now regarded as personal data. From time to time, when I am really bored, I may try to determine the identity of those who look at my webpage and read my papers. If you feel uncomfortable with this, please use an anonymizing proxy like Anonymizer or ask me explicitly not to do so by (anonymous) email. Comments about this privacy policy are welcome at the usual address.
