The already widespread and accelerating digitalisation of all aspects of society and private life makes cybersecurity one of the key societal and technical challenges of the future. The systems’ underlying digitalisation are distributed and work on sensitive data, making cryptography and distributed systems two key technical disciplines in building the foundation for the future cybersecurity.
The objectives are:
There are strong synergies with “Verification & Software Engineering” concerning formal verification of security properties of MPC and blockchains. There are also synergies with the “Efficient algorithms and data structures” theme in analysing and engineering efficient cryptographic algorithms. Finally, there is synergy with “Human Computer Interaction” with respect to usable security.
