Gautam Akiwate Receives the Applied Networking Research Prize

Gautam Akiwate won the Applied Networking Research Prize for his work on the paper “Risky BIZness: Risks Derived from Registrar NameManagement”.

This is an award that the Internet Research Task Force (the research arm of the IETF, which manages the Internet standards) awards each year selected from papers nominated across the field of networking.

This is the second year in a row for UCSD to win the prize (CNS/CSE Ph.D. student Audrey Randall won last year for her paper “Trufflehunter: Cache Sniffing Rare Domain Usage in Large Public DNS Resolvers”).
