Welcome!

Welcome to the website of the 'IT Security'-research group. We conduct research on human-centered IT Security.  This entails the design of security technologies that are easy to use, inclusive, and privacy-friendly. Our vision is that people should be able to live a secure digital life without having deep technical knowledge. Towards this end, we conduct research on a variety of topics, including password security and usability, behavioral implicit authentication, behavioral data privacy, privacy awareness, and transparency enhancing technologies. Take a look at our teaching and research pages for more detailed information and follow us on Twitter!
