Secure Application Development

Dr. Riccardo Scandariato obtained his PhD in Computer Science from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2004. During 2003, he was a visiting research associate at the University of Virginia, USA, working on defense systems against Internet worms, with the Dependability Research Group of Prof. John Knight.

In 2004-2005, he was a post-doctoral researcher at Politecnico di Torino, with the Software Engineering Group of Prof. Maurizio Morisio. During that period, he worked on innovative methodological approaches to software-based remote attestation of software integrity.

In January 2006, he joined the DistriNet (Distributed Systems and Computer Networks) Research Group at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, where he collaborates with Prof. Wouter Joosen. Dr. Scandariato main research activities are in the area of secure software engineering, with a particular focus on (1) security patterns and security-aware software architectures, (2) security metrics, and (3) the development process for security-aware software.
