Research area

Our research work is under the general area of "Security and Privacy Economics". More specifically we address topics like: [a] Modeling privacy insurance contracts and their utilization for risk management by ICT firms, [b] Designing optimal insurance contracts against privacy violation incidents in ICT outsourcing environments, [c] Developing models for estimating the appropriate insurance premium when a firm transfers part of the risks that it is facing to an insurance company.
