PHD POSITION IN LOGIC FOR SECURITY AND PRIVACY

SnT is active in several international research projects funded by the EU 7th framework programme and the European Space Agency.
The complexity of policies is increasing from relatively simple access control models to more complex distributed and privacy aware policies.

The PhD student in Luxemburg will focus on applications and methodology and the integration of various aspects of policies and explanations.
