Security Research at the University of Twente

At the University of Twente, security is a top priority research area. In fact

  • ISTRICE "Integrated Security and Privacy - in a networked world" is one of CTIT's strategic research orientations.
  • PROSECCO: "Next Generation Protection and Security of Content" is one of the UT spearhead (speerpunt) programs.
  • SENTINELS: this is a large security-centred STW program (joint initiative with the Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen).

Security is not only technical; it is a multidisciplinary field that has legal, regulatory and societal aspects too. This makes security research particularly challenging. Unique in the Netherlands, the University of Twente possesses the knowledge to cover the entire spectrum of research areas, ranging from mathematics and electronics via computer science to social science and law.

Scientifically, our research programs aim at contributing to a comprehensive framework for the engineering, the deployment and the maintenance of secure distributed systems, in which existing and new techniques are harmonized and integrated.

Our research currently deals with computer and network security. However, we are in the preliminary stages of investigating the integration of physical, computer and networking security.

In the mean time, for emergencies, please contact the Campus Surveillance and Security Service
