Research Activities
The emerging information and communication infrastructures such as Internet of Things are expected to generate a new value and bring us a more fruitful society. On the other hand, they bring a new type of security risks that we have never met and solved before. The new risks include the nullification of applications by data forgery and the falsification of critical control information in factories. These risks are not always addressed by conventional technologies and their naïve extensions. We are studying future information security systems from theories to implementation technologies for constructing information and communication infrastructures in a safe and secure manner.
Environmentally Conscious Secure Information System (Prof. Homma)
Research topics
- Highly reliable, high performance, and highly available information network
- Design and control mechanisms of virtualized network/system
- Next-generation mobile network architecture
- Performance evaluation techniques for advanced information network
We are studying theories and technologies for developing secure information and communication systems to ensure security and reliability from the level of vast and diverse information sources (i.e., embedded devices such as sensor terminals), not only to ensure the network and software security. We are also studying the security design, analysis, and evaluation technologies for embedded systems that heavily depend on the usage environment and applications. In addition, we are promoting the social implementation and standardization of the above research results, along with addressing the challenge to their social application.
