Welcome - Marc Sel
Expertise
I specialise in Information and Communication Security. I was drawn into the field by doing project work where security was particularly relevant. I consolidated my experience at the Information Security Group of Royal Holloway University of London. Also, I am
- member of the IFIP WG 11.11 on Trust Management
- ENISA CEI expert on electronic identification and authentication (listed 2017-2020)
Over the years I performed many security consulting and review assignments in a variety of organisational, technical and political settings. These included a.o.
- applications of crytography, including pseudonymisation, blockchain (see the movie) and cryptocurrencies
- authorisation management including rule, role and attribute based access control
- security management, organisation as well as technical security architecture design
- risk analysis
- network security
- in-depth review and penetration testing
- PKI, biometrics and smart card work
These assignment were performed for public and private sector clients. Methodologies were either public domain methodologies such as ISO (27001, 15408) or CRAMM, PwC's proprietary (e.g. Nora-Network-Oriented-Risk-Analysis, SPT-Security-Penetration-Testing), or ISF (e.g. IRAM, Sara, Sprint). I can't devote enough time to it, but I still like to develop software.
Regarding electronic identity and trust, I participated in a.o.
