Projects

Software development in the area of information security

Our research is in the field of information security and currently we have two funded projects. The first project is about secure data exchange for the fabric of the future, where an innovative software for a security-gateway is in development. Our research team has different focuses in this project: 1) Threat analysis and security by design 2) Developing a secure software design considering hardware security 3) developing a demonstrator where industrial devices of our partners are connected and controlled with. The second project is about non-repudiationable Voice-over-IP communication, where our research part is to develop innovative archive solutions alongside the need of our project partners. In both projects we are working with strong and well-known industry companies and real world scenarios to ensure that our research contributions meet their needs and requirements.
