He also discusses joining the faculty at UC-Davis in Computer Science and launching its Computer Security Laboratory, which has been influential in educating and placing computer security specialists in academe, government, and industry. Also discussed is his post-IDES/NIDES work on intrusion detection, voting systems and security, federal funding for computer security, his program manager role for Trustworthy Computing at NSF, and other topics.
