About us

We are a spanish group of people who is interested in the development of security systems and its deployment over Internet. Our main research topic is the design of new methods and algorithms to guarantee the security of the applications on the World Wide Web.

Here we are

F. Fdez-Riverola, Ph, D. for the University of Vigo, Spain Web page: http://trevinca.ei.uvigo.es/~riverola/	Florentino Fdez-Riverola was born in Langen-Hessen, Germany, in 1973.
