Embedded Security Lab, School of Cybersecurity, Korea University
Embedded Files
The Embedded Security Lab (EMSEC) at Korea University was established in 2009 as a spin-off from the Cryptographic Protocols Laboratory led by Prof. Dong Hoon Lee. The lab was founded in response to the growing importance of smartphone security.
Since 2010, EMSEC has conducted extensive research on automotive security and has achieved some of the strongest research results in Korea. EMSEC continues to work closely with industry partners, including Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Mobis. Many EMSEC alumni are now working as independent researchers in academia and industry.
Today, EMSEC has expanded its research beyond automotive security to intelligent robots, drones, and other embedded systems. Our recent research also focuses on evaluating the security of untrusted devices, including detecting hidden backdoors through various analysis channels.
In 2023, Prof. Wonsuk Choi joined the School of Cybersecurity at Korea University and began co-supervising EMSEC with Prof. Dong Hoon Lee. Our research has been published in leading security conferences, including IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, NDSS, and USENIX Security, as well as international journals.
We welcome students and researchers interested in our research areas. Please feel free to contact us for collaboration opportunities.

In 2023, I joined Korea University as an Associate professor. Before joining Korea University, I worked in Hansung University for 3 years. Also, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Korea University (I returned to Korea University). Currently, I am serving as a co-supervisor for EMSEC alongside Prof. Dong Hoon Lee who is my supervisor. My research interests include automotive security, wireless security, CPS / IoT, usable authentication, and cryptographic protocol. Moreover, I am going to expand my research interests to any security-related things. I am strongly looking for students who want to learn about cyber security beyond textbooks. Our research team focuses on developing practical solutions for any security problems. If you are willing to put your effort and time into our research topics, please feel free to email me.
