Information and System Security

Information security is both a problem of fundamental importance for modern society and a scientific discipline in its own right, complete with its own foundations and methods. The department carries out research across this spectrum, ranging from the mathematical foundations of cryptography to building solutions to pressing problems in securing networks, cyber-physical systems and applications. As security is a highly interdisciplinary area, the work is collaborative by nature and often contains strong links to industrial partners and other faculty areas.
