There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As mobile phones begin functioning more like mini-computers, they also take on more security risks. That's why School of Computer Science assistant professors Jonathon Giffin and Patrick Traynor recently received a $450,000 grant from the NationalScience Foundation to work toward developing safer mobile devices andtelecommunication networks that serve such devices.
