Associate Professor, ECE UBC |
Konstantin Beznosov, Ph.D., P.Eng., is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He joined UBC in August 2003 after working as a Security Architect at Quadrasis, Hitachi Computer Products (America), Inc (HICAM), where he designed and developed products for security integration of enterprise applications. Before HICAM, Dr. Beznosov consulted large telecommunication and banking companies on the architecture of security solutions for distributed enterprise applications, as a Security Architect at Concept Five Technologies.
Prior to graduating from Florida International University (FIU) in 2000 with a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Dr. Beznosov was a Senior Research Associate with the FIU's Center for Advanced Distributed Systems Engineering (CADSE), conducting research on engineering access control for distributed enterprise applications. He also worked on distributed DBMS development at High Performance Database Research Center at FIU, where he received a M.S. in Computer Science in 1997. Dr. Beznosov's prior work on applying CORBA Security architecture to computerized medical records at Baptist Health Systems of South Florida laid the foundation for the OMG standard on Resource Access Decision (RAD) Facility. He actively participated in standardization of security-related OMGs specifications (CORBA Security, RAD, SDMM) from 1997 to 2001, and was a co-chair of the Security SIG.
Dr. Beznosov has served on program committees of SACMAT, NSPW, NDSS, SOUPS, SafeConfig, and CCS . Having published various research papers on security engineering, he is a co-author of "Enterprise Security with EJB and CORBA" and "Mastering Web Services Security" by Wiley Computer Publishing, and a contributor to the "Handbook of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering" by World Scientific Publishing. |
