The Software System Security Assurance Group is affiliated with the Institute of Software Systems and Engineering, School of Software, Tsinghua University. The group is advised and guided by Professor Jiaguang Sun, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Its members include one professor, six postdoctoral researchers, and 20 doctoral and master’s students. With the mission of “ensuring the security of large-scale software systems,” the group focuses on software security in areas such as chip design, artificial intelligence, industrial control systems, and operating systems. Its research aims to enable automated discovery and understanding of software defects, thereby providing security assurance for large-scale software systems.

The group has established in-depth collaborations with Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, WeBank, the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China, and other organizations. Its automated fuzz testing tools have been integrated into platforms such as Google ClusterFuzz and Microsoft OneFuzz, serving more than 30 security-critical enterprises and institutions. The group has discovered more than 500 zero-day vulnerabilities, which have been included in national vulnerability databases in both China and the United States. The group has published more than 100 papers in CCF-A conferences such as SOSP, IEEE S&P, USENIX ATC, and SIGMOD, and has received five Distinguished Paper Awards from top-tier conferences including USENIX Security and FSE. As the primary contributor, the group has won several major awards, including the First Prize of the Beijing Science and Technology Progress Award and the First Prize of the CCF Technical Invention Award. It has also led more than 20 research projects, including National Key R&D Program projects and Class A and Class B Young Scientists Fund projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Students in the group have also received honors such as the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the Outstanding Master’s Thesis Award of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the Excellent Doctoral Student Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Doctoral Student Talent Support Program of the China Association for Science and Technology.

Our research group has a harmonious atmosphere and is willing to receive applications from interns, masters, doctors, and post doctors. We welcome aspiring young people who are diligent, earnest, and innovative to join us!
