Cyber Research @ CCNY
The Cybersecurity M.S. program is affiliated with five prominent research centers within the Grove School of Engineering—the Center for Algorithms & Interactive Scientific Software, the Center for Information Networking & Telecommunications, the intel investigations Lab, the SEcure & Reliable Systems Lab, & Spacelab.
Additional information on faculty and student research work taking place on campus can be found on the Research & Innovation at City College (RICC) website.
The original scope for CAISS was to carry out research at the intersection of Group Theory and Theoretical Computer Science. The center is now a leading research institution in Theoretical Computer Science, Cryptography and Network Security. CAISS members conduct research and publish academic papers in a variety of areas, from computational complexity, to the theoretical foundations of cryptography, to the design and implementation of cryptographic protocols.
CINT’s mission contributes to enhancing the security and resilience of the nation’s critical information infrastructure by developing and delivering new technologies, tools, and techniques. The center focuses on research and development in the fields of network security, mobile networks, sensors, ad-hoc networks, cloud and information networks, secure communications, and information distribution networks. Ongoing research includes work in the fields of blockchain, intrusion detection, artificial intelligence, and microgrids.
The intel investigations Lab (i2Lab) is a global research and training hub dedicated to advancing intelligence research and workforce readiness. Jointly led by City College and Syracuse University, i2Lab collaborates with public and private sector partners to develop open-source capabilities, perform investigative research, and provide rigorous, real-world training and world-class mentorship to prepare students entering the modern workforce for successful careers in fields like investigative journalism, intelligence analysis, cybersecurity, and forensic science.
SERS is a research team at City College whose main focus is the system reliability and security. The research spans from classical to quantum computing systems. The lab's mission is to enable reliable and secure breakthrough applications for quantum and classical systems by making them more resilient to errors during mission mode and expose any malicious activities that leak sensitive information or change the functionality.
Spacelab is the Security, Privacy, and Cryptographic Engineering Lab, a research group at the City College of New York. The members of the Spacelab are involved in the research and teaching of systems, network, and embedded security, privacy and censorship resistance, practical cryptography, and other related areas. The Spacelab is captained by Professor Tushar Jois.
