In memoriam: Prof. Ross Anderson

Posted by    on   Apr 2, 2024

We were very sorry to learn of the passing of Professor Ross Anderson a few days ago.

Ross Anderson was Professor of Security Engineering at Cambridge University and Edinburgh University, author of security textbook Security Engineering and an active and passionate campaigner for digital rights, privacy and security.

In 2015 we were honoured to have him deliver the opening keynote address at VB2015, where he spoke about some of his many research projects.

Not only was he an exceptional researcher and a persistent fighter for the causes he believed in, but an inspiring mentor for generations of graduate students, and a firm friend to many.

We offer our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
