Internet Censorship
Our focus is on developing techniques and platforms for performing Internet measurements to identify (1) when users in different networks and geographical locations are being censored, (2) what networking techniques are being used to implement censorship, (3) who is responsible for implementing the policies that result in censorship, and (4) how users in heavily censored regions can circumvent censorship.
We are currently working on understanding how the IPv6 protocol impacts the current state-of-the-art in Internet censorship and censorship circumvention.
