The Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security (CrySyS) -- in Hungarian, CrySyS Adat- és Rendszerbiztonság Laboratórium -- is committed to carry out internationally recognized, high quality research on security and privacy in computer networks and systems, and to teach network and system security, privacy, and cryptography in the context of university courses, laboratory exercises, and semester projects. The lab also provides consulting services upon request, including ethical hacking, design of secure protocols and system architectures, and risk management.

We strongly believe in problem driven, project oriented research, hence we participate in R&D projects, where we collaborate with industrial and other academic partners, and maintain strong international connections.

Our research is focused on the following areas:

• economics of security and privacy (incentive design, quantitative risk management, cyber insurance);
• security of cloud computing (vulnerability analysis of virtual machines, malware analysis techniques);
• security and privacy in wireless networked embedded systems (sensor networks, body area networks, vehicular communications, RFID systems).

We use models and tools from the following scientific domains:

• microeconomics and game theory;
• static and dynamic code analysis;
• formal methods (logics and process calculi);
• data mining and machine learning;
• cryptography and coding techniques.
