Internet security has become part of everyday life where
security problems impact practical aspects of our lives. Even though
there is a considerable corpus of knowledge about tools and techniques
to protect networks, information about what are the actual
vulnerabilities and how they are exploited is not generally
available. This situation hampers the effectiveness of security
research and practice. Understanding the details of network attacks is
a prerequisite for the design and implementation of secure systems and
services.
The International Secure Systems Lab is the union of four systems security research labs and was
originally founded in 2005 at the Technical University of Vienna. As
of 2008, the Secure Systems Lab has became international and was initially
distributed over three geographical locations including the Institute Eurécom in the French Riviera and the University of California, Santa
Barbara. In 2010, Ruhr University in Bochum in Germany joined the iSecLab family. Lab members collaborate closely, apply for joint funding, share data, exchange ideas, and have fun together.
iSecLab encourages and supports student and faculty mobility within the labs. The research focus is on applied computer security, with
a recent emphasis on web security, malware analysis, intrusion
detection, and vulnerability analysis.
Theses and Internships Our lab is constantly
looking for motivated TU Vienna students who want to
do an internship ("Praktikum") or a thesis with us. If you think you
have what it takes, please have a look at this page.
