From Trusted Systems to Trusted AI

I'm Dr. Marcel Winandy — security architect, researcher, and advisor. I help enterprises scale AI, IoT, and connected systems without trading away trust, by making security an architectural property from day one.

I've spent over twenty years designing security for systems that have to be trusted — microkernel OS platforms, trusted computing stacks, network controller, IoT gateways, and now autonomous AI agents. The lesson carries across all of them: security works best as an enabler, not a bottleneck. AI security challenges aren't new — only amplified.


Security Thoughts

My thoughts about computer security are based on several years of both academic and industrial research and security architecture design. I always aim at including these principles:

  • Security by Design
  • Security as Enabler
  • There is no trusted network

Security Research

My research interests are focussed around the following topics:

  • Operating System Security
  • Trusted Computing
  • Smartphone Security
  • E-Health Security
  • SDN Security
  • IoT Security

Security Experience

My experience with security technologies includes the following:

  • Secure Operating Systems
  • Trusted Computing
  • Cloud Security
  • Confidential Computing
  • Threat Modeling
  • Applied Cryptography
