Sampsa Rauti is a Doctoral Student and a University Teacher currently working at the University of Turku, Finland. His research interests include software security, privacy and location-based games. He has about 70 international peer-reviewed publications, mostly in the field of software security. His work has been published in outlets such as Information & Software Technology, Computers in Human Behavior, and Journal of Cyber Security Technology. Rauti has over 12 years of teaching experience and has participated in teaching almost 50 course instances at the University of Turku.
My research focuses on the field of software engineering, more specifically proactive software security and privacy, software architectures and location-based games. My software security research has revolved around software diversification, increasing security with honeypots and other fake entities, intrusion detection, cyber attribution, web application security, IoT security, malicious browser extensions and man-in-the-browser attacks. Software privacy research has concentrated on studying how well applications on web and mobile devices respect GDPR and privacy policies and consequences of potential privacy violations. While my research often focuses on highly technical aspects of software security, I have also carried out many cross-disciplinary studies, for example applying theories of social sciences to software development and mobile games.
Currently, my teaching responsibilities include three courses: Distributed Systems and Cloud Services, Web and Mobile programming and Software Design and Architecture. I act as a responsible teacher and lecturer on these courses, and lead a small team of course assistants.
