Linda Jean Camp is an American computer scientist whose research concerns information security, with a focus on human-centered design, autonomy, and safety.[1] She has also made important contributions to risk communication, internet governance, and the economics of security. She is a professor of informatics in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington, where she directs the Center for Security and Privacy in Informatics, Computing, and Engineering.[2]

Education and career

Camp earned a double bachelor's degree in mathematics and electrical engineering from the University of North Carolina in 1989, also working as a nuclear power engineer in the last year of her studies. She continued at the University of North Carolina for a master's degree in electrical engineering, supported as a Patricia Harris Fellow in the university's Optical Interconnects & Computer Generated Holography Laboratory. Next, she went to Carnegie Mellon University for graduate study in engineering and public policy, completing a Ph.D. there in 1996 with the dissertation Privacy & Reliability in Internet Commerce.[3]

After a year of research at Sandia National Laboratories, she became an assistant professor and later associate professor in the Harvard Kennedy School from 1997 to 2004. She moved to Indiana University in 2004, and was promoted to full professor in 2011, after a year on leave as an IEEE Congressional Fellow in the office of North Carolina representative Bob Etheridge.[3]

Books

Camp is the author or editor of:

  • Trust and Risk in Internet Commerce (MIT Press, 2000)[4]
  • Economics of Identity Theft: Avoidance, Causes and Possible Cures (Springer, 2007)[5]
  • Economics of Information Security (edited with Stephen Lewis, Kluwer, 2006)

Recognition

Camp was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2017, "for substantial contributions to the economics of information security, online risk communication, and human-centered computer security and privacy, including for populations often excluded in system design".[6] She was elected as an IEEE Fellow in the 2018 class of fellows, "for research in human-centered risk and security".[7] She was named a 2021 ACM Fellow, "for contributions to computer security and e-crime measures".[8]
