Cybersecurity
Monash University provides solutions to industry to help protect security in cyberspace and prepare them for the challenges ahead.
Monash’s Cybersecurity research team is focused on developing providing new security technology. Core competencies are cryptography, security engineering, security of critical infrastructures. Examples include work on advanced cryptographic algorithms and their applications, such as computing on encrypted data, blockchain-based application or post-quantum cryptography, hardware-based security, trusted computing, biometrics, or security of digital evidence.
Led by Monash, the newly established Oceania Cyber Security Centre (OCSC) brings together eight Victorian universities, major private sector partners and a partnership with Oxford University’s world leading Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre. The OCSC provides a strong local hub for cyber security research supported by the Victorian Government.
Areas include:
- Advanced and applied cryptography
- Validation and design of security protocols
- Security engineering
- Digital forensics and readiness
- Network security
- Security verification
- Trusted computing
- Security of critical infrastructures
- Security by design
