How do you design a cloud-based platform that will enable people to take back some control over their technology? How do we know if the messages we send today will be private 10 years from now? It’s questions like these that Olin faculty member Steve Matsumoto, Ph.D., assistant professor of Computer Science and Engineering, investigates with students who are passionate about the hot-button topics of information privacy and security.
