One main focus of research is on protocols implemented in practice, such as the Internet standards TLS (CRYPTO 2012), SSH (in submission), and IPSec (in preparation). The research focus for Internet security is on the areas of browser based protocols, federated identity management, single sign-on, SSL client certificates, XSS, SQLi, and HTML5.
