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 introduces new design methodology for reliable and trustworthy software
To make the development process of software quick, efficient, reliable and automated, researcher Vlad-Nicolae Şerbănescu (CWI and LIACS) studied how to unify modelling and programming languages for reliable and trustworthy software.
Better parallel programming with help of ABS language
Current programming languages cannot use the full potential power of manycore chips. Keyvan Azadbakht studied the formal programming language ABS and extended the programming model and analysis techniques. He defended his PhD thesis on 11 December.
Grant for CWI to improve Next Generation Internet
NLnet Foundation awarded CWI with a grant to develop a replacement for a decades-old application programming technique for communication on the internet. This might result in an alternative to deep packet inspection for network operators that better protects privacy for users.
Symposium celebrating life and achievements of Farhad Arbab
On Friday 25 May 2018 CWI organizes a farewell symposium on the occasion of the retirement of Farhad Arbab, ‘It's All About Coordination’. Farhad Arbab has been a researcher at CWI for 28 years and a professor at Leiden University since 2004. He is most known for his work on coordination languages in software engineering, particularly Reo, and in concurrency and software composition.
