Arvind Narayanan is a computer scientist and an associate professor at Princeton University.[1] Narayanan is recognized for his research in the de-anonymization of data.[2][3]

Biography[]

Narayanan received technical degrees from Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2004.[4] C. Pandu Rangan was his advisor. Narayanan received his PhD in computer science in University of Texas at Austin in 2009 under . He worked briefly as a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford University, working closely with Dan Boneh. Narayanan moved to Princeton University where he has been an assistant professor since September 2012.

Career[]

In 2006 Netflix began the Netflix Prize competition for better recommendation algorithms. In order to facilitate the competition, Netflix released "anonymized" viewership information. However, Narayanan and advisor showed possibilities for de-anonymizing this information by linking this anonymized data to publicly available IMDb user accounts.[5] This research led to much higher recognition of de-anonymization techniques[according to whom?] and the importance of more rigorous anonymization techniques.[citation needed] In later working Narayanan has de-anonymized graphs from social networking[6] and writings from blogs.[7]

In mid-2010, Narayanan and Jonathan Mayer argued to the favor of Do Not Track in HTTP headers.[8][9] They built prototypes of Do Not Track for clients and servers.[10] Working with Mozilla they wrote the influential Internet Engineering Task Force Internet Draft of Do Not Track.[11][12]

Narayanan has written extensively about software cultures. He has argued for more substantial ethics teaching in computer science education [13] and usable[clarification needed] cryptography.[14][15]
