ScienceLives interview with Vitaly Shmatikov

Vitaly Shmatikov breaks things--namely computer privacy and security systems and tools--to make them better. It's a line of work he says he loves, and it couldn't be more relevant to our times. The data we think is private--for example, our movie buying history on Netflix or the personally identifiable information that social networking sites store--is not as protected as we may think, he says.
