Welcome to Security Engineering Lab (SEL) at the department of Engineering and Information Technology of the Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland. The lab is headed by Prof. Endre Bangerter and was established beginning of 2007.

We are generally interested in security engineering research (i.e., how to systematically analyze, build, and verify secure systems).

Our current research interests are crypto engineering and malware analysis. Our crypto work is focusing on the theory and practice of secure implementations of crypto protocols, especially zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge. The focus of our malware research is on analysis and detection of malware as well as on OS security mechanisms.

We are interested in industry collaborations tackling innovative and challenging IT security topics, which fall into our areas of expertise. For inquiries concerning potential collaborations and security consulting services, please contact us.
