The goal of the CICS center is to provide
techniques and solutions for securing both national and private sector
information infrastructures. We are interested in both long-term
foundational work and short-term applied research to support the
development of cryptographic foundations and critical security tools
and techniques.
Our mission is to explore fault-tolerant solutions that are
necessary to achieve two conflicting goals: making critical national
cyber infrastructures more accessible, ubiquitous, and at the same
time resilient against a wide range of both internal and external
coordinated attacks, while simultaneously providing strong privacy and
security guarantees to both individuals and organizations. The work of
the center members ranges from developing cryptographic algorithms,
definitions, and proofs of security to software and hardware
implementations and deployment of new security mechanisms in real
systems and applications.
Equally important, the center members explore the interplay of
cryptography and security with other fields,
including algorithms, complexity theory, networks, communication
complexity, machine learning, compiler and language design, operating
systems, hardware design, and distributed computing.
