Topics for PhD/ Diploma / Master / Bachelor Thesis Projects

We offer various topics on system security for a Bachelor, Master, Diploma or even PhD Thesis. In most cases these topics are related to current research projects of our group, but individual topics are also possible.

General Topics

In general, we have three main research areas: cryptographic protocols, security functions in hardware, and trusted platforms and computing. Derived from these areas the following lists present typical thesis topics we offer.
