33 Bits of Entropy

Arvind Narayanan

I’m a Computer Science/CITP Associate Professor at Princeton an affiliate scholar at Stanford Law School’s CIS. I study information privacy and security, and moonlight in technology policy.

My doctoral research exposed the problems with data anonymization. My thesis, in a sentence, is that the level of anonymity that consumers expect—and companies claim to provide—in published or outsourced databases is fundamentally unrealizable.
