Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity addresses the urgent need to safeguard digital infrastructure in an increasingly connected world.

We develop solutions that span foundational cryptography, privacy-preserving systems, secure protocols, and defenses against malware, cyberattacks, and insider threats. Our work also explores emerging challenges in securing Internet of Things (IoT) devices, cloud platforms, and AI/ML systems, while integrating policy-driven approaches to protecting critical infrastructure. By combining theoretical rigor with practical deployment, we advance next-generation security solutions that are resilient, adaptive, and trustworthy.

Digital Privacy

Research in digital privacy develops techniques to protect sensitive information while enabling data sharing, analytics, and collaboration. Faculty investigate privacy-preserving computation, anonymization, and frameworks that balance security, usability, and trust.

Cryptography

Faculty in cryptography study the mathematical foundations of secure communication. Their work develops encryption methods, authentication protocols, and cryptographic systems that protect data confidentiality and integrity in the face of evolving adversaries.

Mobile Security

Mobile security research addresses threats to smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices. Faculty explore software and systems security, vulnerability discovery, and defenses against attacks on mobile and wireless platforms. This work ensures that mobile technologies—integral to daily life and critical infrastructures—remain secure and resilient.
