Security Cluster
The interconnectivity and pervasiveness of computers and of embedded systems are not only determining new functionalities but are also opening the way to increasingly sophisticated attacks. Indeed, in the last years, the field of security has become one of the main focuses of computer science research around the globe. The mission of the Security Cluster (SEC) at TU/e, in collaboration with EIPSI, the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information, is to realize a more secure and privacy-preserving digital infrastructure.
We believe this goal can only be achieved by investigating the overall picture of the cybersecurity problem, tackling the engineering, deployment, management, and maintenance perspectives of systems and ICT infrastructures.
Our research interests are a reflection of this and span from security deployment and management to physical security and attack engineering.
