Professional Expertise

Keith Jackson is currently a Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he leads the Advance Application Interface Technology Group. He has been involved in developing a PKI based authorization system (Akenti), and a secure advanced reservation system (STARS). He is currently a Principal Investigator on two projects focused on developing component-based interfaces to "Grid" services, and prototyping large-scale computational and data "Grids". His interests include distributed access control, distributed system security, advanced reservations, network quality of service, component based middleware, and PKI based applications.

Prior to joining LBNL, Mr. Jackson worked at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. While there he was responsible for providing secure remote access to a NMR facility. He also contributed to the development of a remote collaboration tool (CORE2000), and an electronic notebook. He received a BS from The Evergreen State College in 2000.
