Information Security

2015-12-27T12:30:51+00:00

Information security is an important challenge in the field of new information technologies.

Regarding the important place occupied by the new information technologies in modern societies, information security is nowadays present in the areas of systems, contents and services in order to prevent, identify and reduce malicious attacks. The information security task is to ensure the integrity, the confidentiality, the availability and the traceability of data and their process. Security is an essential element in all Computer systems.

The Division of computer security is mainly aiming to acquire expertise and to suggest solutions to ensure a smooth operating of computer systems and to protect those systems from intruders.

The division seeks to participate in the development of the national network of scientific and technical information by leading research and development projects, and training.

The computer security division teams works include all of the following areas: systems,networks, data and applications.

Research areas:

Network Security

Research and Development in Information Sciences

2015-04-20T12:59:59+00:00

The evolution of the Internet and the development of digital tools have revolutionized the production and the use of information in general and Scientific and Technical Information in particular.

The Scientific and Technical Information (STI) is the basic building block of society knowledge and thus, it becomes a digital content that must be made intelligible to everyone according to their specific needs while controlling the legal and the socio-economic environment related to digital technology.

With its multidisciplinary components and researchers specialized in computer science, mathematics and humanities, the Division of Research and Development in Information Science is striving to offer large corpus analysis tools including Arabic language, using techniques of Automatic Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. The division also proposes mathematic models for the evaluation of information and modeling digital uses, along with a national approach of STI strategic intelligence, conducting reflections on open access, new business models and the legal framework of STI and ICT.

Research areas

Natural Languages Processing.
Knowledge representation, standards and metadata.
Digital Humanities.
Mathematics of Information.
Semantic Web.
Open access and new modes of information production.
ICT law and socio-economics.

skills

Arabic language technologies - Web Technologies 2.O - Ontology Development - Standards of Semantic Web - Library Platforms - Programming languages (Java ,Python, ...) – Scientific and technological monitoring - Bibliometrics - Infometrics - Cybermetrics - Intellectual Property Law - Legal framework of cybercrime - Legal framework for the protection of electronic transactions.
