Secure Software and Services


About this team  

The Secure Software and Services Group is part of the Security, Information Analytics, and Business Integrity Department at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center. The group's research focuses on developing security technologies, design methodologies, best practices and standards. The goal is to significantly raise the bar on the quality of security in products and services while simultaneously easing the overhead of developing and deploying such secure solutions.

Members of the group are known for their pioneering work on a variety of topics that have led to new technologies being incorporated in IBM's products and services, definitive industry leading standards as well as publications in premier security workshops and conferences.

The group continues to do innovative work on various topics including:
  • development of model-driven security engineering and testing, language-based security
  • security services such as identity and access control management
  • secure service delivery environments
  • secure hypervisors and secure high assurance operating systems for embedded platforms
  • hardware security via physical secure co-processors, service processors and novel hardware architectures
  • ethical hacking as part of the Global Security Analysis (GSAL) activities
  • new cryptographic techniques and algorithms and their secure implementations and side-channel cryptanalysis
