Keynotes

Michael Reiter finished his Ph.D. a bit more than two months before the very first ACM CCS conference in 1993. Between then and now, he has built a long history with the conference: He has co-authored 26 papers published there (from among countless submissions); served on the Program Committee 14 times, including once as Program Chair in 1998; served as General Chair in 2001; served on the Steering Committee for four years; and received its Test-of-Time Award twice. His research spans numerous topics in computer security, including (in no particular order) trusted execution environments, Byzantine fault-tolerant distributed systems (a.k.a., blockchains), side-channel attacks and defenses, user authentication, adversarial machine learning, access control, cryptographic protocols, intrusion detection, and various others. He is presently a James B. Duke Distinguished Professor at Duke University, which he joined in 2021. More information is available at https://reitermk.github.io.

Lorrie Faith Cranor is the Director and Bosch Distinguished Professor in Security and Privacy Technologies of CyLab and the FORE Systems University Professor of Computer Science and of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. She directs the CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory (CUPS) and co-directs the Privacy Engineering masters program. She was founding co-director of the Collaboratory Against Hate: Research and Action Center at Carnegie Mellon and the University of Pittsburgh. In 2016 she served as Chief Technologist at the US Federal Trade Commission, working in the office of Chairwoman Ramirez. She is also a co-founder of Wombat Security Technologies, Inc, a security awareness training company that was acquired by Proofpoint. She has authored over 200 research papers on online privacy, usable security, and other topics. She has played a key role in building the usable privacy and security research community, having co-edited the seminal book Security and Usability (O'Reilly 2005) and founded the Symposium On Usable Privacy and Security (SOUPS). She also co-founded the Conference on Privacy Engineering Practice and Respect (PEPR). She chaired the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) Specification Working Group at the W3C and authored the book Web Privacy with P3P (O'Reilly 2002). She has served on a number of boards and working groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation Board of Directors, the Computing Research Association Board of Directors, the Aspen Institute Cybersecurity Group, and on the editorial boards of several journals. In 2003 she was honored as one of the top 100 innovators 35 or younger by Technology Review magazine. More recently she was elected to the ACM CHI Academy, named an ACM Fellow for her contributions to usable privacy and security research and education, named an IEEE Fellow for her contributions to privacy engineering, and named a AAAS Fellow. She is also a 2019 Andrew Carnegie Fellow and has received an Alumni Achievement Award from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, the 2022 Carnegie Mellon University Distinguished Professor of Engineering Award, the 2018 ACM CHI Social Impact Award, the 2018 International Association of Privacy Professionals Privacy Leadership Award, and (with colleagues) the 2018 IEEE Cybersecurity Award for Practice and 2019 Carnegie Mellon University Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence. She was previously a researcher at AT&T-Labs Research and taught in the Stern School of Business at New York University. She holds a doctorate in Engineering and Policy from Washington University in St. Louis. In 2012-13 she spent her sabbatical as a fellow in the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University where she where she worked on fiber arts projects, including a quilted visualization of bad passwords, Security Blanket, that was featured in Science Magazine as well as a bad passwords dress that she frequently wears when talking about her research. She plays soccer, walks to work, sews her own dresses with pockets, and tries not to embarrass her three teenage/young adult children. Her pandemic pet is a bass flute.
