  • NIST Grant awarded to MATRIS Research Group

    Computer data breaches cost companies millions of dollars each year. When combined with the damage leaks of private information do to consumers, the total cost of security issues is even greater. Many systems, including blockchains and Internet of Things systems, are created secure at the design level. However, mistakes in their implementation of those systems…

  • Security Interaction Testing for IoT Systems and Blockchains

    The SENTINEL project aims to expand the horizons of combinatorial security testing by developing new methods for the challenging application-domains of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Blockchains. The major research tasks include combinatorial sequence testing, case studies and related tool development. MATRIS Research Group of SBA Research is Project Co-Lead jointly with University of Texas at Arlington. Further Information Matris Research Group…
