Description
Leader of the group Computer Security: Marten van Dijk.
The Computer Security group contributes to making our society a safe place with digital and physical infrastructures that can be trusted to have the best interest of citizens and industry in mind. Our work constructively contributes new mechanisms and solutions to security problems.
We are committed to bringing rigorous cryptographic style thinking to security engineering. We study, analyze, and design secure computing environments from various perspectives such as secure processor architectures and cyber physical system security but also secure machine learning functionalities. We provide a holistic approach and use various techniques for reasoning about security, safety, and resilience ranging from formal methods to cryptographic proofs.

CWI and SDL join forces to improve cloud-based marketing
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and SDL recently started a public-private partnership project to improve cloud-based software for marketing purposes. In this joint project both CWI and SDL contribute to the research budget.
Joost Winter verdedigt proefschrift over coalgebra en automatentheorie
CWI-onderzoeker Joost Winter promoveerde op 1 juli 2014 met een proefschrift waarin connecties tussen de coalgebra en de automatenthorie centraal staan. Coalgebra is een abstract raamwerk voor beschrijvingen en formele redenaties van systemen die zich in verschillende toestanden kunnen bevinden. Het kan onder andere gebruikt worden om te bewijzen dat systemen aan bepaalde eisen voldoen, zoals de correctheid van een complex softwaresysteem.
New technique detects bugs in object-oriented languages
CWI researcher Stijn de Gouw has developed a new technique for the detection of bugs in software written in object-oriented languages like Java. In a first test case, the technique was able to determine the correctness of complex software of marketing software company SDL Fredhopper.
CWI joins Sino-European research network LIAMA
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has officially joined research network LIAMA. The Sino-European Laboratory in Computer Science, Automation and Applied Mathematics (LIAMA) is a research lab consisting of European and Chinese research institutes in the field of mathematics and computer science. LIAMA conducts research, training and transfer projects in these fields. CWI will join the lab as one of the founding members.
