Low-power wireless networks and the Internet of Things
Drakkar conducts research on wireless and low-power networks, the Internet of Things, satellite and emerging communication systems, network protocols, traffic analysis, and performance evaluation. Across these areas, the team aims to translate rigorous research into practical improvements to the security, reliability, and resilience of digital infrastructure. In particular, the team investigates how constrained radio networks behave at scale: the capacity of LoRaWAN and LR-FHSS, medium access, energy consumption, and the protocol design that connects small devices to the Internet.
Internet measurement and security
A major focus of Drakkar's work is the security and resilience of shared Internet infrastructure. The team conducts Internet-scale measurement and analysis in areas including DNS and routing security, malicious domain and phishing detection, cyber-threat intelligence, malicious infrastructure analysis. Drakkar develops response-enabling capabilities that help registries, registrars, hosting and telecommunications providers, CSIRTs, and public authorities detect, understand, and mitigate Internet abuse. This work is informed by trusted operational collaborations and has led to deployed systems, coordinated vulnerability disclosures, and support for concrete mitigation and disruption actions.
