Welcome to IT Security at RWTH Aachen

The research group IT-Security (Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet/LuFG IT-Sicherheit) is part of the research center UMIC of the RWTH Aachen University. The group studies and teaches security problems and solutions for different types of communication networks. The main focus of the group is securing wireless networks. In particular, we are interested in security mechanisms for decentralized networks, securing mobility in heterogeneous networks, AAA support of mobility, analyses of security architectures of existing standards, the design and implementation of new security architectures, the collection and analysis of mobile malware, as well as distributed privacy-enhancing protocols.
