The economics of cryptographic trust : understanding certificate authorities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
Certificate Authorities (CAs) play a crucial role in HTTPS, the mechanism that secures all of the web's most important communication; if it has a log-in page, it must use HTTPS. However, recent history is littered with ...
Estimating lower bounds for time series prediction error
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Research on how to evaluate the time series prediction algorithms are relatively under investigated compared to those to develop prediction algorithms. This research presents a way to estimate lower bounds for a time series ...
Encryption to implement mechanism design solutions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Encryption - the process of encoding information - mitigates the damage that comes from obstacles to exchange: private information, limited communication, and limited commitment. Here I would emphasize specifically that ...
Open innovation in the US Air Force
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
If the Air Force is to maintain lethality and readiness, we must learn to adapt technologies and praxis within an increasingly diffuse knowledge landscape. This thesis examines two efforts orchestrated through AFWERX that ...
A machine learning approach to evaluating renewable energy technology : an alternative LACE study on solar photo-voltaic (PV)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Currently, renewable technologies are often evaluated using the Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), which is a measure of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed αnancial life and duty cycle. Naturally, ...
Network partitioning algorithms for electricity consumer clustering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
In many developing countries, access to electricity remains a significant challenge. Electrification planners in these countries often have to make important decisions on the mode of electrification and the planning of ...
Does management matter in scientific laboratories? : evidence from Harvard Medical School
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The high quality of modern medical care is built upon the creation of scientific knowledge generated from medical research. While the role of management practices has been rigorously explored across various industries, ...
Capacity value of variable renewable energy and energy storage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Variable renewable energy (VRE) resources account for approximately half of new capacity additions in independent system operator (ISO) markets in the United States in the last five years. When designing and implementing ...
Building policy-aware research test beds : lessons from laboratory development for optical neuroimaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Despite the prevalence of applications for compelling technologies, communication between scientists and policy makers is often obfuscated by conflicting philosophies concerning the role of science and technology in ...
Assessing socio-economic risks in the supply chain of materials required for vehicle electrification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Modern automobiles are composed of more than 2000 different compounds comprising at least 76 different elements. Identifying supply risks across this range of materials is important to ensure a smooth transition to ...
