George Danezis
Danezis has helped make anonymity measurable and testable, showing that privacy systems must be evaluated against traffic analysis and realistic adversaries.
George Danezis is a computer scientist whose research covers privacy technologies, anonymous communications, applied cryptography, and distributed-systems security. UCL describes him as Professor of Security and Privacy Engineering.
Measuring anonymity
His research has developed metrics and investigated statistical attacks against anonymity systems. UCL notes contributions to the design of anonymity systems and to the analysis of deployed systems including Tor.
Security engineering perspective
This work belongs in security history because it treats anonymity as an engineering property that can be modeled, measured, and attacked.
