Unfortunately, lost some time today as well in light of a faculty meeting with my home institution. I intend to make up Friday’s and today’s lost time over the course of this week, and potentially the weekend.

My progress today is as follows:

• Organize my thoughts on the digital fingerprinting paper
• Email Prof. Patil my thoughts on the digital fingerprinting paper
• Begin reading and taking notes on the next paper in the list that was referred to me
  • Interview-based study on “made-up” email addresses

• Finish reading and taking notes on the made-up email paper
• Read and notate the cybersecurity learning capstone paper
• Read and notate the paper on Tor Browser usability
• Prepare for meeting with PhD student on email analysis

Super slow week. I did not at all catch up how I expected to – there is always next week! Anyway, now that I’ve got my training, orientation, and initial reading out of the way, it should be a productive summer!
