<div>Justine Sherry of UC Berkeley is interviewing for a Lectureship in the Systems and Networks Research Group. In her work on BlindBox (SIGCOMM 2015, best student paper) and Embark (NSDI 2016), she has designed and built firewalls that can search through encrypted traffic (without revealing all traffic's content to the firewall), and thus improve privacy for users. That's just a taste of her work; Justine published three papers in SIGCOMM 2015.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Justine is known to be a gifted speaker; her talk should be of great interest to the general CS audience.<br></div>

Through the deployment of middleboxes, enterprise networks today provide improved security -- e.g., filtering malicious content -- and performance capabilities -- e.g., caching
frequently accessed content. Although middleboxes are deployed widely in enterprises, they bring with them many challenges: they are complicated to manage, expensive, prone to failures, and challenge privacy expectations.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
In this talk, we aim to bring the benefits of cloud computing to networking. We argue that middlebox services can be outsourced to cloud providers in a similar fashion to how mail, compute, and storage are today outsourced. We begin by presenting APLOMB, a
system that allows enterprises to outsource middlebox processing to a third party cloud or ISP. For enterprise networks, APLOMB can reduce costs, ease management, and provide resources for scalability and failover. For service providers, APLOMB offers new
customers and business opportunities, but also presents new challenges. Middleboxes have tighter performance demands than existing cloud services, and hence supporting APLOMB requires redesigning software at the cloud. We re-consider classical cloud challenges
including fault-tolerance and privacy, showing how to implement middlebox software solutions with throughput and latency 2-4 orders of magnitude more efficient than general-purpose cloud approaches. Some of the technologies discussed in this talk are presently
being adopted by industrial systems used by cloud providers and ISPs.<br></div>

<div>Justine Sherry is a computer scientist and doctoral candidate at UC Berkeley. Her interests are in computer networking; her work includes middleboxes, networked systems, measurement, cloud computing, and congestion control. Justine's dissertation focuses on
new opportunities and challenges arising from the deployment of middleboxes -- such as firewalls and proxies -- as services offered by clouds and ISPs. Justine received her MS from UC Berkeley in 2012, and her BS and BA from the University of Washington in
2010. She is an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, has won paper awards from both USENIX NSDI and ACM SIGCOMM, and is always on the lookout for a great cappuccino.<br></div>
