KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Magic Boxes, Boots, and Cores: Hardware-based Cybersecurity
Biography of the Keynote Speaker
Prof. Sean Smith has been working in information security—attacks and defenses for industry and government—since before there was a Web. At Los Alamos National Laboratory, he performed security reviews, designs, analyses, and briefings for a wide variety of public-sector clients. At IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, he designed the security architecture for (and helped code and test) the IBM 4758 secure coprocessor, and then led the formal modelling and verification work that earned it the world's first FIPS 140-1 Level 4 security validation. In July 2000, Smith left IBM for Dartmouth, since he was convinced that the academic education and research environment is a better venue for changing the world. His current work, as PI of the Dartmouth PKI Lab, investigates how to build trustworthy systems in the real world.
Dr. Smith was educated at Princeton and CMU, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi.
