Description

Security and privacy are arguably the most significant concern for enterprises and consumers using public cloud platforms. The Confidential Computing group at Microsoft Research Cambridge has been conducting pioneering research in the design of systems, hardware, and tools that guarantee strong security and privacy properties to cloud users.

Area of Responsibilities

Research & Development

Responsibilities

Propose, explore, and analyse new ideas in security, safety, and privacy domains through theoretical, practical, and application-level contributions. As part of our research, we are designing new security primitives in general purpose processors and specialized accelerator hardware languages and language runtimes that guarantee safety by construction new services such as databases, blockchains, and machine learning platforms that utilize secure hardware and runtimes to guarantees strong security properties leakage analysis and mitigation techniques for privacy-preserving machine learning pipelines

Requirements

Students enrolled in a PhD program or outstanding undergraduate/Master’s students with research experience. One or two papers at top security conferences (e.g., USENIX, CCS, S&P, NDSS) or papers focusing on security, safety, or privacy and appearing at top machine learning (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR), systems (e.g., ASPLOS, OSDI, SOSP) or programming language (e.g., PLDI, POPL, OOPSLA) venues is strongly desired. Letter of support from a supervisor and, optionally, from another senior collaborator.
