PhD Candidate in Software Engineering and Security

Overview

The University of Luxembourg seeks to hire outstanding researchers at its Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) http://www.securityandtrust.lu/ .

SnT is a recently formed centre carrying out interdisciplinary research in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) systems and services, often in collaboration with industrial, governmental or international partners. SnT is active in several international research projects funded by the EU 7 th framework programme and the European Space Agency. A successful candidate will conduct research in one or more of the centre projects and assist in the development of the SnT project portfolio. The Centre invites researchers from diverse research areas to contribute to our projects in areas such as Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, Network Security, Model-drive Security, Security Cloud computing, and ICT Services & Applications.

Project description – MITER: Modeling, Composing and Testing of Security Concerns

The PhD thesis will take place in the MITER project. This project aims at developing new modeling techniques to 1) represent security concerns (e.g. access control and usage control policies), 2) compose them with the business logic model (called target model), and 3) test the security model composition against security requirements. These three objectives converge to an integrated model-driven security process which allows a business model to embed various security concerns, and makes these security properties testable by construction. In other words, the MITER project should allow the trustfully design of a large family of secure systems in an automatic and efficient way.
