Internet researchers reach beyond academia to close major security loophole

Four researchers standing in front of a computer server with wires showing. — Princeton researchers have created a tool that allows small networks such as businesses and universities to improve the performance and privacy of their internet traffic. The team included (from left) Benjamin Herber, a 2022 B.S.E. and 2023 M.Eng. graduate in electrical and computer engineering; Sophia Yoo, a graduate student in electrical and computer engineering; Maria Apostolaki, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering; and Henry Birge-Lee, a research software engineer in Princeton’s computer science department. Jennifer Rexford, Princeton University Provost and Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor in Engineering (not pictured) also coauthored the research paper. Photo by Sameer A. Khan/Fotobuddy
