David Kassay received the A.B. degree from Hamilton College in 1982 and the M.S. in computer science from Harvard University in 1997. He has been a member of the staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory since 1990. When he first joined the Laboratory, Dave was employed in the Air Traffic Control Automation group. He worked on several FAA-sponsored projects. He developed object-oriented database operations for the Semi-Automated Image Intelligence Processing (SAIP) System. He joined the Information Systems Technology Group in 1998 to work on the Global Mobile Security DARPA project, researching the vulnerabilities of Reliable Multicast Protocols with Tom Parks. He then worked with a team developing a host-based intrusion detection system. He is currently working on the LARIAT testbed project, writing code to automate computer user behavior in the UNIX environment. His research interests include developing efficient host-based intrusion detection techniques and automating user host-based and network traffic.
