UW CSE Security Lab alumnus Karl Koscher was an invited panelist today at the RSA conference, in San Francisco. Karl participated in a panel entitled “Do We Need Cyber-Ratings for the Auto Industry?” Karl drew on his deep expertise in automotive security. In 2010 and 2011 he, along with other UW and UCSD co-authors, published two of the first papers analyzing the computer security properties of modern automobiles. That work led to significant impact in both industry and governemnt, was covered in two NOVA TV episodes, and was featured on 60 Minutes.
