About
Joeri de Ruiter is a leading researcher in systems security, with a particular focus on the security of embedded devices, communication protocols, and automated reverse engineering. His most influential work demonstrates an ingenious, hands-on approach to security analysis: in his highly cited 2014 paper, "Automated reverse engineering using lego," he pioneered the use of state machine learning—a technique that systematically fuzzes sequences of inputs—to automatically reverse engineer the behavior of hand-held smartcard readers used for Internet banking. Remarkably, he achieved this using a Lego robot, showcasing how accessible hardware can be leveraged for sophisticated security research. This work, which has garnered 34 citations, exemplifies his broader contributions to understanding and exposing vulnerabilities in real-world systems. De Ruiter's research has had a lasting impact on the field of protocol security, providing both practical tools and foundational insights for analyzing the security of critical infrastructure. His innovative, low-cost methodologies continue to inspire students and researchers to think creatively about automated security analysis.
