======== Security Research at the University of Trento ======

Welcome to the webpage on research and teaching in Security and Cryptography at the University of Trento.

===== Who We Are ====

See the [[security_group|members]] page to see the members of the security group.

==== NEW Openings ====

We are always looking for interested phd and post-doc (so please send an email to security.positions.disi@unitn.it if you would like to express your interest). Beware that we always formally need to open a position and you'll need to apply.

===== Research Topics ====

Our research topics span these directions: 
  * technological research (biometrics, mobile phone security, [[malware_analysis|testbeds and malware testing]], crypto for fintech)
  * empirical research ([[Security economics]], [[Validation of Risk and Security Requirements Methodologies|empirical risk assessment]], [[Vulnerability_discovery_models|vulnerability analysis]]) 
  * fundamental research: [[https://squera.github.io/research/|programming language security and secure compilation]], [[http://disi.unitn.it/~massacci/CryptoSAT/|SAT-based cryptanalysis]]

===== Research Projects ====

We participate in a number of research projects. The most recent ones are

  * H2020 European Project [[https://assuremoss.eu|AssureMOSS]] on software vulnerability analysis
  * Horizon Europe project [[https://crosscon.eu/|CrossCon]] on the O.S. software stack security  
  * H2020 Marie Curie Project [[https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101067199|ProSVED]] on predicting vulnerabilities
  * Horizon Europe project [[Sec4AI4Sec]] on machine learning and software security


===== Courses and Seminars ====

Our teaching programme spans the key subjects in the area ranging from security management to cryptography.

  * **Academic Program:** the  [[teaching activities|Cyber Security track in Trento]] offered both as Entry and Exit point in the framework of the [[https://masterschool.eitdigital.eu/programmes/cse/|EIT Digital Master School, Cyber Security track]], of the [[https://www.eitdigital.eu/|European Institute of Innovation and Technology]] (EIT Digital). These courses can also be taken by the students enrolled in the Computer Science Master and the Master in Mathematics offered by the University of Trento.

  * **Professional courses:** Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v4.0 is out! and Trento's researchers (Fabio Massacci and Giorgio Di Tizio) are again among the authors. In the past we have organized a [[teaching activities:cvss|CVSS v3.0 Training]] on the use and interpretation of the latest revision. If you are interested in getting a new version let us know. 
 
   * ** Osservatorio Cybersecurity ** (In Italian) provide information to companies and SMEs.  Find more information [[https://cybersecuritydisi.unitn.it|here]].

===== CTF Team ====

We have a local team of students at the department that train and participate to CTF competitions.
We participate to [[https://cyberchallenge.it/ | Cyberchallenge.IT]].
If you want to join or know more about it please [[CTF | visit the CTF page]].

===== Contacts ====

You can use an email alias security AT disi DOT unitn DOT it.
