Welcome to the Security and Analytics Lab (SEAL) at the University of Central Florida.
Mission Statement: SEAL's goal is to build the human capacity to advance research on networked systems security, online privacy, and Internet measurements. Our research
is in the broad area of security and privacy, and we have been recently
focusing on topics such as machine learning and artificial intelligence,
software and networked systems, internet of things and wearables, and
blockchains. Our active pursuits include:
- Networks security: NDSS 2023, CCS 2022, DSN 2022, INFOCOM 2020, DSN 2019, ICDCS 2019
- Blockchain security: IEEE S&P 2023, ACM CCS 2021, ACM CCS 2021, ICDCS 2021, ICDCS 2019
- Wearables & IoT security: IEEE VR 2022, CHI 2022, WPES 2021, ICDCS 2020, NDSS 2018
- ML & software security: RAID 2022, ICCV 2021, WPES 2021, PETS 2020, ICDCS 2019, CCS 2018
