DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nTLS is the de facto secure protocol of choice on 
 the Internet. In this talk\, I’ll give an overview of the state-of-the-a
 rt of TLS security\, focusing mostly on the TLS Record Protocol which is r
 esponsible for providing the basic secure channel functionality in TLS. I
 ’ll focus on recently-discovered vulnerabilities in the TLS specificatio
 n and its cryptographic algorithms. These lead to plaintext recovery attac
 ks against TLS-protected traffic. I will reflect on why the deployment of 
 secure cryptography is seemingly so hard\, and what the barriers are to ad
 opting better approaches than the current techniques used in TLS. \n\n*Bio
 :* \nProfessor Kenny Paterson obtained his BSc (Hons) in 1990 from the Uni
 versity of Glasgow and a PhD from the University of London in 1993\, both 
 in Mathematics. He was a Royal Society Fellow at the Swiss Federal Institu
 te of Technology\, Zurich\, from 1993 to 1994 and a Lloyd's of London Terc
 entenary Foundation Fellow at the University of London from 1994 to 1996. 
 He joined Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in 1996\, becoming project manager 
 in 1999. His technical work there involved him in international standards 
 setting\, internal consultancy on a wide range of mathematical and cryptog
 raphic subjects\, and intellectual property generation. He also continued 
 with more academic activities. In 2001\, Kenny re-joined Royal Holloway as
  a Lecturer\, becoming Reader in 2002 and Professor in 2004. He led the IS
 G's participation in the MoD/DoD-funded International Technology Alliance 
 from 2006 to 2011. In March 2010\, Kenny commenced a 5-year research fello
 wship funded by EPSRC on the topic of "Cryptography: Bridging Theory and P
 ractice". He was Program Chair for Eurocrypt 2011 and serves on the editor
 ial board of the Journal of Cryptology. Kenny's research interests span a 
 wide range of topics in theoretical and applied cryptography\, and informa
 tion security. He has published more than 120 research papers on these top
 ics.
