Congratulations to Tianyuan Yu on earning his Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA!
His dissertation, Developing a Trust Plane for Interconnected Networks, introduces a trust-plane framework that provides systematic support for authentication, authorization, and auditing in networked systems. The work brings together secure bootstrapping, trust-relationship maintenance, certificate revocation, and auditable ledgers within a unified architecture.
Tianyuan continues his work with the Internet Research Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher. We congratulate him on this achievement and look forward to his continued contributions to the lab.
