SOftware SECURITY LAbORATORY
DEpT. Management Information Systems
College of Commerce, National Chengchi University
The Software Security Laboratory (SoSLab, pronounced so-slab) at NCCU is the research group under the supervision of Prof. Fang Yu with tech-oriented mis graduate students and under graduate students. General research interests of SoSLab span the areas of security, verification, and program analysis techniques with the aim of improving the correctness and reliability of software. Our goal is to investigate formal techniques and develop practical tools for system developers and public users who made SOS (Secure Our Software) calls. Our current research addresses Web/Cloud/App/Smart Contract security and vulnerabilities.
Fang Yu: Welcome to SoSLab@NCCU
Be alert to the surroundings.
You might be shocked when you explore the risk of software applications.
