We are happy to welcome two new members to our group: Norbert Egger and Christian Peuker. Norbert will focus on requirements engineering and modeling in the area of smart grid privacy. Christian will work on communication security and authentication in smart metering infrastructures.

We are organizing a special session on “Security and Privacy Technologies for Intelligent Energy Networks” at ACM Information Hiding and Multimedia Security (IHMMSEC), which takes place from June 11-13, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria. We look forward to your contributions!
