Matt Bishop Matt Bishop is a professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis, where he is also co-directs the Computer Security Laboratory. Bishop is an expert on the analysis of vulnerabilities in computer systems, and has done extensive work on modeling and tool building to detect, ameliorate and eliminate vulnerabilities, including all types of malicious logic. His broader interests include network security, denial of service attacks, policy modeling, software assurance testing, and formal modeling of access control systems. He also studies trust as a foundation for security policies, procedures, and mechanisms.
In addition, Bishop is a charter member of the Colloquium on Information Systems Security Education, and has led a project to gather and make available many unpublished seminal works in computer security. He is author of two leading textbooks, Computer Security: Art and Science and Introduction to Computer Security, both published by Addison-Wesley Professional.
Bishop received his Ph.D. in computer science from Purdue University, where he specialized in computer security and has a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Before joining the Department of Computer Science at the University of California at Davis, he was on the faculty at Dartmouth College.
