Presentation
The TORSEC group performs research in the fields of computer and network security.
It is established within the Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica

The group's activity is mainly concerned with - but not restricted to -
the following topics:
- computer security (trusted and trustworthy computing, platform and data privacy)
-
electronic identity, user authentication/authorization and identity management
-
design and optimization of network shields (by means of firewalls and secure channels, such as VPN or TLS/SSL)
-
electronic commerce (Internet and mobile payment systems)
-
system security (risk analysis, security planning and audit, intrusion detection and tracing, forensics analysis)
Current activities
Within the general areas mentioned above, our current resarch interests are:
-
trusted-computing
-
where we have relevant work in the areas of
remote attestation
and
software development
(the Trusted Platform Agent (TPA) library
and our porting of TrouSerS for Windows);
-
security policy and ontology
-
where we have defined an ontology for virtualized systems;
-
firewall optimization
- ...
-
automatic generation of cryptographic code
- ...
You can also have a look at the list of the
funded projects where we are (or were) involved.
