Digital Security

Welcome!

Digital security is an increasingly important issue in our society. The Digital Security group works on a broad range of topics in computer security, including applied cryptography, security protocols, smartcards and RFID, and the security and correctness of software. We are also interested in societal aspects of digital security, such as privacy and e-voting, and interaction with disciplines outside computer science such as cryptography and law. You can read this Dutch page on Computer Security to get an idea of some of the issues related to our research.

Furthermore, the Digital Security group hosts a subgroup Information Foraging Lab.

We offer a 2-year Master track in Computer Security in the Kerckhoffs Institute.

Outside the field of security research, we are active in ICT4kids to improve the possibilities for children in South Africa and CodeYard to involve high-school students in Open Source software projects.
