Safety in an increasingly connected world

As the world becomes more and more connected—think Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems such as future automated, connected vehicles—it also becomes more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Michigan Engineers are leaders in identifying new vulnerabilities and developing solutions. Researchers in the division of computer science and engineering focus on a broad array of security-related research areas, along with related topic of privacy. Research areas include web security, electronic voting, medical device security, security in mobile systems, detection of insider attacks and spyware, and malware capture and analysis tools. In network security, research activities include measurements of attacks on the Internet, detection and dismantling of Botnets, security of routing infrastructure, and censorship resistance. Michigan Engineers are also working to design techniques to enhance user privacy.
