Research Hub 4: Distributed and Decentralized Security

Decentralized technologies such as blockchains, distributed ledgers, and federated learning promise transparency and resilience—but also introduce new attack vectors. Research Hub 4 designs efficient, provably secure mechanisms for decentralized platforms across the network, consensus, and smart contract layers.

By addressing the interaction between these layers, the hub defends against powerful adversaries and supports secure applications in areas such as Web3 and central bank digital currencies. This interdisciplinary research advances trustworthy decentralization for individuals, organizations, and governments.
