David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

I've recently developed an interest in P3P, the Privacy Preferences Policy. My interest is mostly pragmatic, as I want IE to accept -273 cookies on any security setting. Now, this is mostly boring to all of you, but what I found interesting is the fact that the big cheese in the P3P world is Lorrie Cranor. Now, I've never met Dr. Cranor, but when I was reading through all this P3P stuff and her name kept popping up, I knew I'd heard it before. As it turns out, she was a WashU CS student, worked with Ron Cytron, and was, I believe, a past WU|ACM president.
Anyway, there's no real point to this story. I just found that a bit weird.

Addendum: I find the AT&T Privacy Bird to be quite interesting. It's this wacky little bird that sits in the title bar of your browser, and changes color based on whether or not it's happy with that site's privay policy.

Indeeed, Lorrie was my first PhD student. She's been very involved with security and privacy issues on the web. Her doctoral work was on "Declared Strategy" voting and I encourage you to check out our work at http://www.ccrc.wustl.edu/~lorracks/dsv/
