Homepage of Zinaida Benenson at Uppsala University

New homepage of Zinaida Benenson: http://pi1.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~benenson

This is my old homepage that I used while visiting the Communications Research group (CoRe) at the Uppsala University from February to July 2006.

My new homepage, along with me, can be found at the University of Mannheim, Germany, at the Laboratory for Dependable Distributed Systems.

Below you find my papers published before October 2006. My research interests include security and privacy issues in distributed systems, especially in sensor networks.
