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[edit]

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

Career[edit]

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 Vitaly Shmatikov showed possibilities for de-anonymizing this information by linking this anonymized data to publicly available IMDb user accounts.[5] This research led to 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]
