Yongdae Kim

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and a member of the Digital Technology Center (DTC) at University of Minnesota at Twin Cities.

I received my B.S. and M.S. in Department of Mathematics at Yonsei University in 1991 and 1993, respectively. I received Ph. D. degree from Computer Science Department at University of Southern California (USC) in May 2002. Before I came to USC, I worked at Electronics and Telecommunication Research Institute (ETRI), Korea from 1993 to 1998. From January 2001 until July 2002, I was working as a visiting scientist in SCONCE group at Information and Computer Science Department at the University of California at Irvine.

Security is a enabler for nearly every service offered by a software system or a hardware device. Security mechanisms mitigate attacks that aim to disrupt normal service. My research focuses on novel and practical security mechanisms geared for current, emerging and envisaged computing settings, such as storage and file systems, peer-to-peer systems, sensor and ad-hoc wireless networks.
