Welcome to the NSS Lab @ KAIST

Led by Seungwon Shin the NSS (Network and System Security) lab at KAIST focuses on network and system security. In particular, we study a variety of topics including software defined network (SDN) security, embedded system and IoT using SDN, and web and mobile. We are now working on Design and Implementation of Innovative Security Services with SDN, SDN Security Evaluation project and Analysis of the Dark Web Environment. We also study cyber threat intelligence, container security, and blockchain security.
