Communication and Cyber Security Engineering Lab

Our lab is part of the Department of Computing, University of Turku. The strategic goal of the lab is to apply research and technological development to societal digitalization and building a cyber secure information society.

Our core in research is communication and cyber security technologies in three application domains:

  • Autonomous vehicles and traffic
  • Smart city and cyber society
  • Health and well-being.

Communication System and Cyber ​​Security research in our lab concentrates on studying technologies for networked systems and applications of the communication-intensive future from the engineering and human points of view. The strategic goal of our research is to apply research and technological development to building a secure information society. We consider the basic elements for human well-being as the most fundamental drivers for pursuing this strategic goal, in which the technology-driven and human-driven development directions meet. This is pursued with an interdisciplinary approach, where innovations create active interaction between traditional scientific areas.
