Research Interests
I am interested in Security and Privacy in IT-Systems in general.
My emphasis lies in the areas:
- Analysis of network protocols and Protocol Reverse Engineering
- Usage of Physical(ly) Unclonable Functions (PUFs)
- Security of wireless communications, especially of Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs)
Besides that my further interests are:
- Security and forensics of mobile devices
- Privacy implications on unsing mobile devices
- Malware analyses
- Penetration testing
- Security of web technologies
