Hi folks,
Hope you all well.
This mail has the purpose to present myself and describe what and
why I want to contribute.
I don't want to annoy anyone of this mailing list, so if you are
not interested, feel free to skip this mail :)
My name is Tomer, currently doing my masters in Cyber Security at
Hasso-Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany. My supervisor is Dr.
Anne Kayem of Hasso-Plattner Institute.
My thesis is not totally fixed yet (will be registered in march),
but I am strongly aiming to make a new version of evaluating
Anti-Fingerprinting browser extensions, like in
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3308558.3313703 with up-to-date
extensions (like JShelter) and focused on Firefox browser.
Additionally, I want to add to the evaluation aspects like
visibility of enabled privacy extensions which might lead to user
discrimination.
Further, I would like to develop some features to JShelter and
that's why I am writing you. I would love to hear your opinions
(or ideas) about the features I thought might be interesting to
add.
Two features I thought might be worth to add/ adjust:
If you have any ideas or concerns I would be glad to hear them.
Maybe relevant points about me (and browser security in my vita):
JShelter seems to me like a very interesting project and I would
love to contribute. Also was very positively surprise how fast you
folks response on the repo!
Actually, I would not ask for much support but would be glad to get ideas and (if there is the possibility on some point) anonymous insight how much affect a feature I implement have had on users usage.
My thesis will be free and open for anyone, and I am planning to cite your papers.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me, you can
reach out to me also in private. I would be glad to answer or to
discuss ideas :)
If you prefer to communicate with an official university mail
address, you can write me an email to this address:
Lars.Yavor@student.hpi.de (My name is Lars Tomer Yavor, don't be
irritated my parents just made things unnecessarily complicated :)
)
Have a nice week!
Best regards,
Tomer
