For instance, we have been working on designing lightweight cryptographic protocols for IoT with the help of blockchain technologies.
If you are interested in Dependability and Security and are looking for a supervisor for your Ph.D., Masters, or Honours study, please contact the department admin (csseadministration@canterbury.ac.nz). We also seek motivated undergraduate students who want to do research in the cyber security area.
