Research Institute:	KU LEUVEN COSIC COMPUTER SECURITY AND INDUSTRIAL CRYPTOGRAPHY
Callname:	KU LEUVEN ESAT COSIC
Description:	The COSIC research group provides a broad expertise in digital security and strives for innovative security solutions. Our research is applied in a broad range of application domains, such as electronic payments, communications, identity cards, e-voting, protection of e-documents, intelligent home appliances, telematics for the automobile industry and trusted systems. Our research focus lays in the design, evaluation and implementation of cryptographic algorithms and protocols, the development of security architectures for information and communication systems, the building of security mechanisms for embedded systems and the design and analysis of privacy preserving systems. COSIC has participated in nearly 40 European research projects through which it gained thorough experience in privacy-enhancing technologies, identity management, and design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms, protocols and architectures. In six of these EU projects COSIC acted as the coordinator. Cosic has been involved in nearly 60 national and regional research projects. COSIC also collaborates actively with industry and government for short- and medium-term contract research and consulting. Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography (COSIC) group was founded in 1979 and currently has 5 professors, 4 support staff, and more than 40 researchers. COSIC is part of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the KU Leuven. During the last 15 years, COSIC obtained more than 1200 international reviewed publications in journals and conferences, 13 edited books, 10 patents and has graduated 60 PhD students.
