Topic

Short description

Measurable security and privacy

The objective is to develop metrics for measuring security and privacy of systems in general and in a specific domain of interest.

Secure communication

Identification, authentication, and trust in smart sensors are the major goals.

Attribute-based policy specification and enforcement

The main aim is to provide context-aware, dynamic and more efficient policy enforcement.

Remote Configuration of Infrastructure

Investigation on how to remotely configure home networks and comply with the specific applications such as security is required.

Mobile Edge Computing

Edge Computing Controllers make decisions about services based on information retrieved from nodes, and we aim to check the privacy issues in such decisions.

Security Library

Providing common library supporting basic and especially lightweight security mechanisms (e.g., encryption, authentication, signing, etc.) for communication with hardware is the objective.
