Centre for Security, Communications and Network Research (CSCAN)

The Centre for Security, Communications and Network Research (CSCAN) is an established multidisciplinary group, applying academic expertise to the needs of industry and society.

Key themes within the Centre's research include:

  • Information systems security: User authentication and biometrics, network security, advanced intrusion detection and response, risk assessment and vulnerability management, security ethics, education and culture.
  • Fixed, mobile & satellite communications: Wireless communications, error correction coding, digital watermarking, digital signal processing, multiple access, CDMA and communication systems design for satellite and next generation networks.
  • Network technologies: Quality of Service measurement and provisioning, Multimedia over IP optimisation, wireless routing and transport, traffic profiling, application and user fairness.

Research is conducted at masters, PhD and postdoctoral levels, as well as through bespoke projects commissioned by industry and community partners. We can offer tailored short courses and other Continuing Professional Development support.
