Cited for his work developing the RSA algorithm, a method for public-key cryptography, Ronald Rivest is named to the National Cyber Security Hall of Fame, Oct. 17, 2012. -
How much does your smartphone know about you — even when it's turned off? Under the guidance of CSAIL Principal Investigator Hal Abelson, the Class of 1922 Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, CSAIL graduate students Fuming Shih and Frances Zhang are investigating how much certain smartphone applications know about users.

This fall, the faculty and students in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at MIT are coming together for a new program that has created a buzz since its announcement last spring. The Advanced Undergraduate Research Program — now officially called the SuperUROP — for EECS department juniors and seniors has already enticed over 200 students with more than 100 exciting research projects proposed by the department's faculty.

Professor Srini Devadas has been selected as an Edwin Sibley Webster Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, joining Prof. Alan Willsky as the second Edwin Sibley Webster chaired professor at MIT. Professor Devadas succeeds nearly sixty years of many prominent faculty members holding this professorship, including Ernst Guillemin in 1960, Lan Jen Chu in 1963, Peter Elias in 1974, and Ronald Rivest in 1992. -
Daniel Jackson, professor of computer science and engineering in the EECS department, principal investigator in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, CSAIL, head of the CSAIL Software Design Group, and MacVicar Faculty Fellow is also an avid photographer. His work featuring black and white photos of labs at MIT and titled 'Dark Machines: Inside MIT's Laboratories' is now on exhibit (through Dec. 31, 2012) at the MIT Museum. -
Shafi Goldwasser, the RSA professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT and principal investigator with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, is among three at MIT selected as Simons Investigator by the Simons Foundation. -
