Research at CyLab
CyLab's research strategy is holistic.
Seven areas of research and development have been designated, spanning
a wide range of technologies, systems and users. Each project meets the
criteria of one or more research areas, with an aim towards building
cross-functional and multi-disciplinary solutions and leveraging
cross-cutting skills from faculty across the university, such as policy
development, risk management or modeling. The objective is to build a
new generation of technologies that will lead to measurable, available,
secure, trustworthy, and sustainable computing and communications
systems, as well as associated management and policy tools that enable
successful exploitation of the new technologies. 
Research Areas
- Trustworthy Computing Platforms & Devices
- Next-Generation Secure & Available Networks
- Mobility
- Security of Cyber-Physical Systems
- Secure Home Computing
- Survivable Distributed Systems & Outsourced Services
- Privacy Protection
