interests

I am interested in usable security in general, human-interactive security protocols, empirical channels, and experimental design of user studies. In broad terms, I can summarise my research interests as ubiquitious computing, human factors, usable security, and mobile computing. At a more personal level, I am interested in ideas that explore technology to improve the lives of individuals especially those in developing nations.

biography

I am a DPhil Student in Comlab under the supervision of Prof. Bill Roscoe and Dr. Ivan Flechais. I obtained a BSc in Computer Science from the Copperbelt University in Zambia, and an MSc in Computer Science from Oxford University. I am currently working on usable security in Human-Interactive Security Protocols exploring the different potential methods for comparing digest values by human users.
