Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy

The Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy was founded in May 2019. Our mission is to design, build, and analyze security and privacy technologies from foundations through systems to society. By combining our strong foundational research with our expertise in empirical research, we build new systems, refine existing technologies, and assess their real-world impact. We continuously explore emerging challenges for security and privacy, pushing the boundaries of research to find creative solutions.
