Tools and frameworks for computer security alternatives

我们的社会严重依赖我们的计算机、设备和网络，但即使经过数十年的计算机安全研究，我们的计算机仍存在许多安全问题。考虑到计算机安全领域的大量研究，相对较少的研究转化为新的、改进的防御措施，用于保护最终用户。可以说，计算机用户在防御方面出现了停滞，或者充其量是微乎其微的改进，而与此同时，威胁的数量却急剧增加。我的研究计划的长期目标是找到打破这种现状的新的安全方法，在某些情况下是彻底的，找到用户体验的当前计算机安全状态的全新替代方案，并使用户更安全。从实践上讲，我将通过构建软件工具和框架来实现这一长期目标，这意味着研究工作不仅可以在学术出版物上看到，而且将导致其他人可以使用软件。

Our society is heavily reliant on our computers, devices, and networks, but there are still any number of problems making our computers secure, even­ after decades of computer security research. Given the sheer volume of research in computer security, relatively little of it has translated into new, improved defenses that are deployed for the protection of end users. Arguably, computer users have seen stagnation or at best marginal improvements in their defenses, while at the same time the number of threats has increased dramatically. The long-­term goal of my research program is to find novel methods for security that break from this status quo, radically in some cases, to find entirely new alternatives to the current state of computer security that users experience, and make users more secure. Practically speaking, I will be realizing this long­-term goal through the construction of software tools and frameworks, meaning that the research work is not just seen in academic publications, but will result in software usable by others.
