Bogdan Groza

I am Professor of Information Security at Politehnica University of Timisoara. My current research interests are in the area of car and mobile systems security. In the past I was preoccupied with more theoretical/formal aspects of cryptography and security which are still of interest to me.

  Projects

Recently, I have directed two national research projects concerning the security of smartphones and vehicles: PRESENCE (PN-III-P1-1.1-TE-2016-1317, 2018-2020) and CSEAMAN (PN-II-RU-TE-2014-4-1501, 2015-2017)

PRESENCE (PRivacy-Enabled, SEcured iNteractions between vehiCles and smart Electronic devices)

A project dedicated to the security of the emerging ecosystems formed by smartphones and cars

PRESENCE's Webpage

CSEAMAN (Cryptographic Security for Automotive Embedded Devices and Networks)

A project dedicated to the security of in-vehicle networks and components

CSEAMAN's Webpage

Nonetheless, I have also contributed as a member in several national and international research programs: SEVEN (UEFISCDI, PD-2018-2020), COST Action IC1306 (COST 2014-2018, management committee), AVANTSSAR (EU FP7 2007-2010), DISSIS (UEFISCDI, PN2-IDEI 940/2008), and others
