Mental Masturbation, Musings, and Methods

Within computational geometry, the Voronoi diagram is a relatively simple concept with a wide-range of applications.  Everything from physics research to the “snap-to” feature in GUI-design uses Voronoi diagrams as a simple underlying data structure to decompose space. I have been working with Voronoi diagrams for the past few months, as my research has focused [...]

As you may know, I am staying at Duke this summer for research.  My research, which I started last semester and am going to be doing for a while, focuses on scalable algorithms.  While that is pretty broad, I am currently working on using the graphics card to speed up processing. Again, here are some [...]

The presentation gives a good overview of the capabilities of SQL injection along with how to prevent such vulnerabilities. I also gave a demo of performing a SQL injection attack on [...]
