Digital Security (SEC)

About the group

The vision of the Digital Security research group (SEC) is to strengthen the security in our ICT infrastructure by producing practical research outcomes for detecting and blocking cyber threats, and by giving students skills in cyber security which will enable them to build a secure ICT infrastructure in the future. Adequate cyber security is necessary for making the digital transformation sustainable.

The security group works on multi-disciplinary projects in the areas of information, network, computer, application and cyber security. Topics we are currently focusing on include:

Exploit Analysis and Ethical Hacking
Privacy and Data Protection
Hardware-Enabled Security
Network Security and Threat Detection
Biometrics and Identity Management
Post-Quantum Cryptography
Machine Learning in Cybersecurity

Academic programmes and courses

We offer Master projects in cyber security for students in the Information Security Master Program. Our staff teaches various information security topics for bachelor and master students at the Department of Informatics, mainly in the Information Security program option (part of the Programming and System Architecture master program). Here is an overview of all courses offered by SEC staff:

Here are the slides from the Introduction to new master students.

Cooperation

We conduct research and develop security solutions in collaboration with national and international academic and industry partners.

Additionally, we lead the Partnership for Cybersecurity – an initiative for student and staff exchange between research institutes in Norway, France, and Germany.
