Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany

The research group Telematics of the Institute of Computer Science and Social Studies (IIG) focuses on security and privacy issues of mobile applications in telecommunications and electronic commerce. A particular focus is on the development of privacy applications and concepts for mobile end-users, e.g. a reachability manager, an identity manager, location addressing, and the concept of multilateral security. The current research on identity management is on the usability of identity management systems and on the security of protocols for identities with respect to their application in distributed information systems.

From 1993 to 1999, the IIG coordinated the collegium “Security in Communication Technology”, funded by the Daimler Benz Foundation, with a large number of academic and industrial participants. Since 1999, the IIG coordinates the national research priority programme “Security in Information and Communication Technology”, funded by the German Research Council (DFG). The research group takes part in this national research priority programme.
