David Wagner
Wagner’s research connects rigorous security analysis with deployed technologies, particularly in web security and election systems.
David Wagner is a computer-security researcher and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His research has addressed cryptography, web security, privacy, voting technology, and the difficult problem of evaluating systems that people actually use.
Security research in practice
Wagner’s work is notable for joining formal analysis with empirical evaluation. His collaborations have examined browser security boundaries and the security assumptions of electronic voting systems, helping make technical risks legible to engineers and the public.
Academic contribution
Through research, teaching, and public technical analysis, Wagner has contributed to the modern security community’s emphasis on independently testing high-consequence systems.
