Research Interests
Dr. Chan-Tin's research focuses broadly on network security, distributed systems, privacy, and anonymity. How he tackles a research problem is to pick a widely-used system, hack it, and then fix it. His current research is inter-disciplinary: psychology of security, and Tor and related privacy issues such as website and webbrowser fingerprinting. His past research work includes network coordinate systems, peer-to-peer systems, Tor, authentication, and data analytics.
