System and Network Security (SysNetS) lab is part of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas lead by PI: Imtiaz Karim .
SysNetS lab focuses on ensuring the security and privacy of emerging wireless communication protocols (e.g., cellular networks-5G/6G, Bluetooth, VoWiFi, vehicular, WiFi, and IoT) with respect to their design and implementation. The aim is to develop tools that systematically analyze real-world systems and widely used protocols using formal verification, program analysis, machine learning, natural language processing, and software testing techniques. Furthermore, with the advent of the next generation of networks (6G and beyond), the lab’s future goal is to ensure the resilience (reliability, adaptability, and security) of future network generations and develop protocols and systems that are robust and secure by design (see Research).
We are looking for passionate Ph.D. Master’s and Bachelor’s students at UTD to join the team (more info) !
