My research focuses on Privacy enhancing technologies, PET, data protection, cryptography, PKI, mobile signatures, mobile computing, mobile communications, m-commerce, e-commerce, location-based services, context-aware computing.

Bio

Currently, I'm an associate professor in computer security at Karlstad University in Sweden.

As in many academic careers, I have worked in several countries: Germany, the United States of America, Norway and Sweden. I do speak German, English, Norwegian/Swedish, and French.

Before I came to Sweden, I was a senior research scientist at the Norwegian Computing Center (Norsk Regnesentral, NR) in Oslo, where he worked from 2007 until 2015. He used to work as a researcher at the T-Mobile Chair for Mobile Commerce & Multilateral Security at Frankfurt’s Johann Wolfgang Goethe – University in Germany from 2002-2007. There, I did PhD research on the topic of constructing privacy-friendly information systems. Before, he was employed as a product manager in IT security by fun communications GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany where I was responsible for IT security product definitions in the areas of PKI, signature law application and secure e-payment, and additionally working on ITSEC security certification. I have received my diploma from the University of Saarland in Saarbrücken in 1999 where I graduated with a specialization in computer security and cryptography.

My work focuses on the analysis of security and privacy requirements in upcoming application areas. Particularly I worked on the deployment of privacy functionality into new systems with respect to requirements engineering and verification, and the assessment of privacy risks and impact.

I am an experienced researcher who worked on international projects such as PETweb II, EU uTRUST IT, the EU-funded IST PRIME, FIDIS and WiTness projects as well as the CEN-ESSI-Workshops on signature standardization. I have published in various international proceedings, writing with international co-authors.
