Summary of Activities
At NYU-Poly since 2007 and at Bell Labs since 1983, Mr. Reddington has been a researcher in networking and networking security focusing on the deficiencies in systems and protocols that lead to them being exploited.
At Bell Labs, he created and led as a director two departments in security; The Internet Research Department and the Security Research Department. As director of Security Research, his role was to define the research direction for his department as well as to define the research direction for Alcatel-Lucent and Bell Labs. He managed and contributed to research on firewalls, intrusion detection systems, application layer firewalls and cryptography. His department was comprised of people with backgrounds in cryptography and computer science whose research mission was to create technologies that can be applied to the security of products and networks.
As director of the Internet Research Department he led and contributed to research on latent vulnerabilities (with risks and impacts) and pathological deficiencies in network infrastructure, network services, and network user equipment for the Defense and Intelligence communities.
