PROJECTS
|
- Location and data privacy
- Secure neighbor discovery
- 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
Other aspects of wireless networks (these projects have been phased out)
- 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 joined the faculty of EPFL in 1990. His research activity is focused on wireless networks, with a special interest in security and cooperation issues.
In 1991, he designed the first curriculum in Communication Systems at EPFL. He was promoted to full professor in 1996. In 1999, he defined some of the main ideas of the National Competence Center in Research named "Mobile Information and Communication Systems" (NCCR/MICS); this center (still very active) is often nicknamed "the Terminodes Project". 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.
He is co-founder and chairman of the steering committee of WiSec (the ACM Conference for Wireless Network Security). He has served on the program committees of numerous conferences and workshops, including SIGCOMM, INFOCOM, MobiCom, MobiHoc, SenSys, WiSe, 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 has been on the advisory board of Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (T-Labs) since their creation in 2004.
He is an IEEE Fellow.
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.
