K. Coby Wang

Staff Research Scientist

I am a security researcher at Visa Research. My research interests are in authentication, applied cryptography, and distributed system security.

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Mike Reiter. My Ph.D. research mainly focused on detection of credential breaches and credential abuse across services. After graduation, I joined the Department of Computer Science at Duke University as a research associate and continued working on credential breach detection until joining Visa Research.
