Security and Privacy in Industrial Cooperation Group (Oct. 2023)

Welcome to the Security and Privacy in Industrial Cooperation (SPICe) group. We are part of the Department of Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University. Led by Prof. Martin Henze, we work on making all aspects of industrial cooperation secure and privacy-preserving. To this end, our research and teaching centers around all technical security and privacy aspects of industrial networks and industrial data sharing, especially concerning production systems and power grids. Our group has been established to strengthen the security aspects of the cluster of excellence Internet of Production. Recently, we are especially focusing on securing industrial communication in modern 5G/6G networks.

If you are interested in learning more about our work, we invite you to register to the spice-info mailing list, which is used to inform about student talks as well as other talks and events (co-)organized by our group.
