Philipp Eichhammer

Philipp Eichhammer serves as an Assistant Professor for Security in Information Systems at the University of Passau's Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, where he leads research in the Chair of IT Security under Prof. Dr. Joachim Posegga. His work bridges theoretical security frameworks with practical IoT implementations, focusing on real-world system resilience.

His research expertise spans Dependable Distributed Systems, Byzantine Fault Tolerance, and Fault Tolerance in IoT, with recent breakthroughs in autonomous community formation for intrusion detection across heterogeneous networks. Current projects address critical gaps in Cloud-to-Thing infrastructure monitoring and self-organizing middleware design for secure IoT service execution.

Analysis of his 2019-2023 publications reveals consistent focus on IoT resilience engineering, with 40% dedicated to intrusion detection methodologies and 30% to foundational IoT security frameworks. His work demonstrates increasing industry relevance, particularly in applying distributed systems theory to edge-computing security challenges.

Teaching responsibilities include Advanced IT-Security, Real Life Security (B.Sc./M.Sc.), and Security Insider Lab II, emphasizing hands-on system and application security training. Collaborative work with researchers like H.P. Reiser and J. Domaschka spans 8 major publications across venues including IEEE PRDC and ACM Computing Surveys.
