About Us

Vision 

We seek to be a premier center for cybersecurity, designing novel approaches to building secure systems and enabling them to detect and tolerate attacks. We also seek to prepare talented engineers and researchers with the technical and problem solving skills in this area of national need.

Mission

Our mission is to secure everything. We work on building systems that are secure by design, and that resist and tolerate attacks. As computing is becoming pervasive, its essential to build future devices with security and privacy as a first class design consideration.

Research Areas

Our research areas span the full range of computer security and privacy.
