European control system security incident analysis network. KU Leuven
The protection of critical infrastructures increasingly demands solutions which support incident detection and management at the levels of individual CI, across CIs which are depending on each other, and across borders. An approach is required which really integrates functionalities across all these levels. Cooperation of privately operated CIs and public bodies (governments and EU) is difficult but mandatory. After about 10 years of analysis ...
Belgian fundamental research network on cryptology and information security Ghent University
This project encompasses 5 belgian and 2 european (T.U. Hamburg-Harburg and T.U. Graz) partners, and investigates a great variety on problems in cryptology. We investigate mathematical problems in cryptology, cryptographic algorithms and protocols, watermarking, and secure software and hardware. We also focus on three specific applications of cryptology.
Power System and Communication Network Co-Simulation for Cyber Security Analysis KU Leuven
Nowadays, critical infrastructures such as power networks, power plants, refineries, and governmental organizations are controlled and monitored by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) such as Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Sensing and Distribution Automation Systems (DAS). Such systems incorporate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services ...

Security and Reliability for Emerging IoT Networks KU Leuven
The research focuses on security and reliability issues in contemporary IoT networks and devices. As the application domain of the IoT expands, information security and reliable operation have become of paramount importance. Networks and end-devices have adopted the fundamental goals of information security (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability). However, as IoT devices are resource-constrained their design must be tailored for each ...
Ports of call: understanding transnational security networks. Ghent University
Security is not only provided by government. Qualitative case studies on the role played by private sector security providers and the functioning of networked security arrangements in the ports of Antwerp and Brisbane leads to (1) understanding the nature of these networks and the role of private security and (2) identifying possibilities to strengthen democratic accountability of transnational security networks.
Security and privacy for online social networks Ghent University
The number of online social networks and the number of participants in these networks is large and growing. Security and privacy are a concern here, especially regarding the collection of data in digital files, secondary data, cyberstalking and liability's. Social network infrastructures that are well designed to provide new opportunities for secure and privacy-enhancing forms of interaction. Multidisciplinary research with the technical ...
Wireless protocol security for modern networks KU Leuven
Wireless protocols have become the most common method that people use to access the Internet and inter-connect devices. This includes protocols such as Wi-Fi, 5G, Bluetooth, and so on. An important open problem is how to secure implementations of such protocols and how to securely design such protocols. In this research project, we will investigate methods to detect implementation vulnerabilities in wireless network protocols and we will also ...
