Research summary
AI-generated

Santiago Torres-Arias works on software supply chain security, which covers how software gets built, packaged, distributed, and verified so that malicious tampering can be detected or prevented. His recent work examines topics like malware in Linux distributions, IoT device firmware vulnerabilities, software bill of materials (SBOM, a list of a program's components), and usable systems for verifying who signed a piece of software. Much of this research combines security analysis with attention to real-world usability and adoption.
