Herzberg Laboratories

The Carleton Computer Security Lab (CCSL) consists of both the physical laboratory (HP 5145) and the faculty and students actively engaged in research within it. CCSL is the focal point of Carleton's Digital Security Group, which explores fundamental security issues in networked information systems, emphasizing research projects motivated by practical problems. Directed by Paul Van Oorschot, the lab and group are possible largely through the Canada Research Chairs program facilitating a renewable 7-year research chair in Network and Software Security, and a corresponding Canadian Foundation for Innovation infrastructure grant which funded the establishment of the security research lab within Herzberg Laboratories.

Directions to the Lab

The lab is located on the fifth floor of Herzberg Laboratories (HP 5145, 13 on the campus map), near the intersection of Campus Ave and University Drive. For directions to Carleton University, see How to get to Carleton.
