Andy Ozment

Andy Ozment of MIT Lincoln Laboratory is working on a project to examine the economic incentives that may aid or hinder the deployment of infrastructure-level security technologies on the Internet. The investigation of DNS Security (DNSSEC) as part of this project first brought Andy and collaborator Stuart Schechter into contact with ICANN. The project is funded by the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P).

If you are interested in the economic, political, and business issues surrounding the deployment of security technologies, Andy would encourage you to submit your work to the Workshop on the Economics of Securing the Information Infrastructure, for which he serves on the program committee.

Andy is also a doctoral student in computer security and economics at the University of Cambridge. His supervisor, Dr. Ross Anderson, helped to jump-start the field of computer security economics and is running The Fifth Workshop on Economics and Information Security (WEIS).
