Research
Our research focus lies on the development and analysis of IT security technologies in combination with the functional security of and the user interaction with the to-be-protected systems. As application areas, we look specifically at the Internet of Things as well as safety-critical systems. Especially in the area of the Internet of Things, we are also dealing with the important topic of data security and with 'privacy-enhancing technologies'.
