Meet the Swarmchestrate partners: Tampere University
The primary objective of the Network and Information Security Group (NISEC) at Tampere University (TUNI) is to bring together expertise in education, research, and practice in the field of information security and privacy. Active since 1996, NISEC has notable achievements nationally, such as pioneering the deployment of native IPv6 in Finnish campus networks, introducing and rolling out Eduroam-based wireless roaming in Finland, forming the TREX regional Internet exchange point, establishing internationally federated research testbeds with PlanetLAB and GENI, as well as creating two successful spinoff companies. The core competencies of NISEC currently traverse four areas: Network Security; IoT Security; Hardware-Assisted Security; Privacy and Usable Security.
What is TUNI role in the project?
NISEC will lead the security related research activities of Swarmchestrate. More precisely, the main focus will be on the design of efficient and provably secure self-sovereign identity (SSI) schemes. In addition to that, NISEC will conduct research on designing novel functional encryption (FE) and hybrid homomorphic encryption (HHE) schemes, aimed at enabling privacy-preserving analysis of sensitive data.
Who are the key people involved?
The TUNI team is led by Dr. Reyhaneh Rabaninejad, a postdoctoral researcher at NISEC. The group is supervised by Prof. Antonis Michalas.
