معرفی
Erik Poll is an Associate Professor in the Digital Security (DiS) research group at the Institute for Computing and Information Science (ICIS), part of Radboud University's Faculty of Science. His work focuses on software security through formal methods and rigorous engineering approaches, addressing vulnerabilities in protocols like TLS, SSH, and payment systems (EMV, EV charging). He also explores applied security in smartcards, RFID, TEEs, and industrial IoT standards (OPC-UA).
Research Interests: Core areas include secure input handling (LangSec), fuzzing techniques, cryptographic protocol analysis, and critical infrastructure security. He has pioneered protocol state fuzzing for analyzing implementations of OpenVPN, SSH, and TLS. Applied work spans smart grid security, automotive systems, and privacy in digital identity wallets.
Teaching: Leads courses on Web Security, Software Security, and Security Protocol Projects in Radboud's Cyber Security and Software Science programs. Organizes the NymaCon hacking competition and maintains materials for cybersecurity education in Dutch high schools.
Advising & Grants: Currently supervising four PhD students (listed above). Principal investigator on projects like Find2Fix (NWO 2025-2029), NOLAI (2022-2032), and INTERSECT (2020-2028). Collaborates with Dutch cybersecurity organizations like ACCSS and OWASP Netherlands.
Labs/Teams: Active in ICIS's Digital Security group, leading the confidential contact team for PhD students. Co-developed open-source smartcard tools and contributes to standards like the Dutch National Cyber Security Research Agenda (NSCRA III).
