Rice’s Computer Security Lab started in 1998 when Dan Wallach joined Rice University’s Department of Computer Science. Our work has considered a variety of topics in computer security: web and smartphones, peer-to-peer networking, electronic voting systems, and we are also actively engaged in the policy side of security issues. We collaborate widely, as computer security issues have broad impact well beyond traditional computer science.
