Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Operating system
  • Microsoft Windows
  • The Internet

Simson L. Garfinkel mainly investigates Computer security, Internet privacy, Database, Information privacy and Computer forensics. Information security is the focus of his Computer security research. His studies deal with areas such as Phishing, Encryption, Public-key cryptography and Personally identifiable information as well as Internet privacy.

His Database research incorporates themes from Utility computing, Converged storage, Set, SIMPLE and Unbundling. His Information privacy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Government, Historical revisionism, Confidentiality and Journalism. His Computer forensics study combines topics in areas such as Information extraction, Feature extraction and Data mining.

His most cited work include:

  • Do security toolbars actually prevent phishing attacks (478 citations)
  • RFID privacy: an overview of problems and proposed solutions (459 citations)
  • Digital forensics research: The next 10 years (428 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Computer security, Internet privacy, World Wide Web, Digital forensics and Cryptography. Simson L. Garfinkel combines topics linked to Usability with his work on Computer security. In general Internet privacy study, his work on Information privacy and Privacy software often relates to the realm of Trustworthiness, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His World Wide Web research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Computer file, Multimedia, Software and Information retrieval. His Digital forensics research integrates issues from Timestamp, XML, Data mining and Reverse engineering. His work on Public-key cryptography and Email encryption as part of general Encryption research is frequently linked to Digital signature, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Computer security (32.05%)
  • Internet privacy (19.87%)
  • World Wide Web (16.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Internet privacy (19.87%)
  • Computer security (32.05%)
  • Cryptography (10.26%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Internet privacy, Computer security, Cryptography, World Wide Web and Differential privacy are his primary areas of study. Specifically, his work in Internet privacy is concerned with the study of Information privacy. His Computer security research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Open source and Reverse engineering.

Simson L. Garfinkel has included themes like Hardware random number generator, Random number generation, Byte and Key in his Cryptography study. His study looks at the relationship between World Wide Web and fields such as Software, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The concepts of his Differential privacy study are interwoven with issues in Confidentiality, Value and Privacy software.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comparing the Usability of Cryptographic APIs (108 citations)
  • Usable Security: History, Themes, and Challenges (60 citations)
  • De-Identification of Personal Information (53 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Operating system
  • Microsoft Windows
  • The Internet

Simson L. Garfinkel spends much of his time researching Internet privacy, Differential privacy, Information privacy, Computer security and Database. The Internet privacy study combines topics in areas such as Security studies, Human-computer interaction in information security, Security through obscurity and Cloud computing security. Social media, World Wide Web, Privacy preserving and k-anonymity is closely connected to Privacy software in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Differential privacy.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Security service, Security information and event management, Critical security studies, De-identification and Personally identifiable information in addition to Information privacy. His work carried out in the field of Computer security brings together such families of science as Usability and Application programming interface. His work on Target database as part of his general Database study is frequently connected to Data products, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
