The Secure Systems research group investigates how to make it possible to build systems that are simultaneously easy-to-use and inexpensive to deploy while still guaranteeing sufficient protection. We design, implement and analyze basic building blocks for system- and network security informed by usability and deployability considerations. Our current research topics include mobile platform security, contextual security, and security/privacy issues in specific application areas like social networks.
