Applications of security and privacyCyLab researchers aren’t only studying the fundamental principles of security privacy, they are applying those principles to real world applications. From the safety of autonomous vehicles to the integrity of elections, CyLab researchers are working to make the world around us — the apps we use on a daily basis, the energy supplied to our homes, our workplaces — one in which technology can be trusted.At the heart of cryptography is creating trust. CyLab researchers are researching state-ofthe-art techniques for establishing secure communication between two or more parties in the presence of a growing number of adversaries. Strong, robust cryptography allows us to shop online, manage personal finances, and communicate with one another without worrying about criminals stealing our information.3. Measurement and analysisHalf the battle in security and privacy research is often developing the right tools to measure and analyze — whether that’s accurately measuring human behaviors online, analyzing and quantifying the risk associated with certain data sharing practices, or measuring the economy of anonymous online marketplaces, among other examples. CyLab researchers are working towards developing these measurement and analysis tools to help identify the status of products or services, and where the problems are that need to be addressed.4. Network security As the number of connected devices continues to grow, the security of the networks that connect them all becomes even more important. In many cases, the adversaries are able to gain access to any number of devices through an unsecured network. CyLab researchers are working to advance the state-of-the-art of network security using both hardware- and software-defined methods, all towards ensuring connected technologies remain safe.
