Information security and cryptography are cornerstones of the information society.
In fact, strong security mechanisms are needed to implement functions such as
the integrity of financial transactions, the accountability for electronic signatures,
the confidentiality within a virtual enterprise, the privacy of personal information,
or the availability of the critical infrastructure.
The intrusion detection team at the IBM Zurich Research Lab
supports IBM's Managed Security Services and Security as well as its privacy
services by developing methodologies and tools for the detection, prevention
and analysis of security incidents.
