For more than 11 years I supervised on a part time basis a number of students who were candidates for a Ph.D. in IT security. Luckily all students that I supervised graduated successfully with their Ph.D. which I was most proud for them. Really it was all their work with little assistance from me.The areas of interest involve the intersection of Information Technology and the Law. Identity management and its legal implications still remains a vast area that is still unchartered. I have 1 student investigating this. Another research focus is the intersection of human involvement and IT. In particular policy development and its implications especially when a failure arises and the legal issues arise.
