Crossing is a collaborative research center focussed on providing cutting-edge cryptography solutions. Our research within Crossing focusses on bridging the gap between crypto experts and software developers. This separation of roles is vital since studies have suggested that software developers struggle in using cryptographic libraries, mistakes caused by which can have disastrous solutions. We develop methodologies and tooling to equip the developers with the right support to avoid cryptographic abuses in their code.
Professor Dr. Mira Mezini and Professor Dr. Guido Salvaneschi were the principal investigators of subproject E5.
