Digital Security is an increasingly important issue in our society. As one of the three research groups in the
Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (ICIS), the Digital Security group researches a wide range of topics in the overlapping fields of cybersecurity, cryptography and privacy.
Research topics of the Digital Security group are: the design and secure implementation of symmetric cryptography and post-quantum cryptography, side-channel analysis, software security, mobile network security, online tracking, privacy design patterns, legal aspects of privacy, and user- and privacy-friendly solutions for identity management and data management. Additionally, the group conducts research in the various domains at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity such as the security of machine learning, AI for automated analysis and design, federated learning, etc.
