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.

Workshop on Dutch Secure Autonomous Cloud
A consortium of CWI and other academic partners have joined forces to create the Dutch Secure Autonomous Cloud. This is a transparent, national cloud with security guarantees for the processing and storage of confidential information.

Sung-Shik Jonkmans: Programmeren voor multicore kan makkelijker
Het ontwikkelen van multicore software is complex en ook werken veel ontwikkelaars nog met oude programmeertechnieken. Sung-Shik Jongmans betoogt in AG Connect dat typesystemen die zijn toegespitst op data én interacties een goede oplossing kunnen bieden.

CWI introduces Computer Security research group
To make society, with its digital and physical infrastructures, a safer place, CWI introduces a new research group: Computer Security. Group leader is Marten van Dijk, who is very experienced in security research in both academia and industry.

CWI works on Next Generation Internet
The Next Generation Internet POINTER fund has awarded CWI a grant to work on architectural renovation for the next generation Internet to replace BSD-style socket technology. The results will make a new generation of privacy-respecting, trustworthy and reliable Internet applications possible.
