Personal news 🎉 I’ve joined Georgia Tech as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in both Security & Privacy (@GaTechCyber) and Computer science (@gatech_scs)! I’m looking for CS students interested in the nexus of computer security, privacy, and democracy. 🧵

GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger
We have discussed this with State and Federal authorities. This is obviously fake, and likely it is a production of Russian troll farms. As Americans we can’t let our enemies use lies to divide us and undermine faith in our institutions - or each other.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency@CISAgov

Today, @CISAgov, @ODNIgov, and @FBI released a statement attributing yesterday's fake video destroying ballots in PA elections to Russia. Local election officials already debunked this video. Election officials are the trusted source for election info. go.dhs.gov/UMQ

Sony is removing access to hundreds of PURCHASED shows from PlayStation accounts. I figured this would happen at some point. It appears they have done this previously with a few titles. Anyone aware of instances of this on other platforms? businessinsider.com/playstation-re…

William Eskridge (@EskridgeBill), Brian Slocum, and Kevin Tobia (@kevin_tobia) argue in “Textualism’s Defining Moment” that, even after committing to textualism, judges must make at least twelve subsequent choices, calling into question textualism’s rule-of-law value.

The class is an updated version of another course I co-created at MIT, along with my advisors @djweitzner and Gerry Sussman, loosely based on my dissertation. If you're at GT and interested in these topics, definitely register for the course and/or reach out!

This semester I'm teaching a course in Security, Privacy, & Democracy. It's a survey research seminar with a set of broad themes -- voting systems, encryption & surveillance, censorship, and free & open communication. Check it out! mspecter.github.io/CS8803/schedul…

@idonibrasco That's a fantastic question. I can't stand exams, and prefer project-based classes where students focus on doing interesting & novel work. Much of the grade in this class comes from evidence that the students studied the material, discussed it, and applied it in the project.

@mspecter Looks great! How do you evaluate your students? How do you measure their learning experience?
