Information Security

The Information Security Research Group was formally set up in 2006. Our research addresses key technical aspects of information security and privacy - such as cryptography and system security.  At the same time, we work with colleagues in Software Systems Engineering and Systems and Networks to deliver end-to-end security solutions, and address broader human, economic and societal aspects of security, privacy and trust.  We also support consultancy and develop and delivers advanced training in our areas of expertise.
