Our mission is to significantly contribute to establishing trust in Networked Systems and Software by considering aspects of privacy and our society at large and by investigating novel approaches like discrete mathematics.
DAMAST conducts basic and applied research in the fields of discrete applied mathematics, algorithms, software security and testing.
The research activities of DAMAST combine these domains and span across – in particular – combinatorial design theory, the development of testing methodologies for complex systems and cyber security over to applied research consulting in innovative approaches.
MLDM Group facilitates privacy-preserving, robust and secure machine learning and develops privacy-aware data management methodologies.
ERIS focuses on the protection of complete infrastructures comprising of complex, interconnected systems. We particularly investigate (I) the Internet representing nowadays’ prime communication infrastructure, (II) mobile networks bringing the Internet anywhere, and (III) the power grids supplying the energy that is necessary for life in our technology-oriented societies.
ISIS group investigates the implications of IoT and related technologies on security and privacy and works towards methods to protect and harden systems against attacks. Georg Merzdovnik and his team are also the main driver behind our successful CTF team We_0wn_Y0u, among many other student activities.
DECSYS group conducts fundamental and applied research of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies and develops new methods towards better security, privacy and performance of such systems.
CORE group investigates methods and concepts to assess the stability of highly dynamic systems and define strategies to manage the underlying complexity.
MATRIS group develops mathematical foundations and related primitives from the field of discrete mathematics and applies them to real-world problems of software testing and information security.
