My student Kelechi Kalu led a paper on software signing to USENIX Security'25. It was a great qualitative complement to my group's quantitative study at S&P'24. Kelechi's blog post writeup is available here: davisjam.medium.com/an-industry-in…

Advice: If you are good at standardized tests and are applying to STEM grad school, then you should take the GRE and include your scores.

@xwang_lk Many schools no longer require GRE. That means the people who submit high scores are at an advantage, because we have some quantitative means of comparing the applicants.

The US is a representative democracy. The legislative branch is constituted of representatives who (at least nominally) act in the interests of their constituents. It is the duty of US citizens to inform their representatives of their views. Today I did so. Did you?
