RESEARCH
|
- Location and Data Privacy
- Privacy and Security of Online Advertising
- Collaboration with Nokia on Privacy Protection
- Privacy and Security Mechanisms with Selfish Players
We study security/privacy mechanisms in the presence of selfish stakeholders, notably by means of game theory. For more information,
click here. We are applying this approach notably to:
. Securing online advertisement
. Recommendation systems
. Revocation
. Location privacy
Prior activities (these projects have been phased out)
- Secure Neighbor Discovery
- Secure vehicular communications
- Non-cooperative behavior in wireless networks
- Key management in decentralized wireless networks
- DOMINO (protecting WiFi hotspots against greedy behavior)
- CommonSense (Water management in rural areas by means of wireless sensors)
- Wireless Sensor Networks with Mobile Elements
- Group Communication in ad hoc networks

BIOGRAPHY
|
Jean-Pierre Hubaux is a full professor at EPFL (which he joined in 1990) and a Fellow of both ACM and IEEE. His current research activity is focused on privacy preservation mechanisms, notably in pervasive communication systems.
In 1991, he designed the first curriculum in Communication Systems at EPFL. He was promoted to full professor in 1996. In 1999, he contributed some of the main ideas of the National Competence Center in Research named "Mobile Information and Communication Systems" (NCCR/MICS). In this framework, he has notably defined, in close collaboration with his students, novel schemes for the security and cooperation in wireless networks; in particular, he has devised new techniques for key management, secure positioning, and incentives for cooperation in such networks. In 2003, he identified the security of vehicular networks as one of the main research challenges for real-world mobile ad hoc networks. In 2008, he completed a graduate textbook entitled "Security and Cooperation in Wireless Networks", with Levente Buttyan. Some of his current research activities are funded by Nokia.
He is co-founder of WiSec (the ACM Conference for Wireless Network Security) and was chairman of its steering committee from 2007 to 2011. He has served on the program committees of numerous conferences and workshops, including SIGCOMM, INFOCOM, MobiCom, MobiHoc, SenSys, WiSe, WiSec and VANET. He is one of the seven commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission (ComCom), the "Swiss FCC".
He held visiting positions at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center and at UC Berkeley.
He was born in Belgium, but spent most of his childhood and youth in Northern Italy. After completing his studies in Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, he worked 10 years in France with Alcatel, primarily in the area of switching systems architecture and software.
