VirisViris
VirisWe are successfully connecting and strengthening cooperation between science-research organizations on one hand and the economy in the field of information services on the other. For this purpose, we have registered our own research group Institute for Data and Information Systems Security (IVPIS) in 2006. Each time we apply for a research or development project, we have in mind that research and development are very important segments for companies and are the lead for innovation and competitiveness of the Slovenian economy. The effectiveness of research and development projects have also increased the recognition of our company.
We currently have no active projects.

Dynamical analysis of Android applications – Vaccine
The number of mobile applications is rising and Android still holds a large market share. As these numbers of applications grow, we need better tools to understand how applications work and how to analyze them. There is always a question if we can trust mobile applications to do only what they are allowed to do and if they are really secure when transmitting our personal information to different servers. Therefore we developed a tool Vaccine for the purpose of dynamical analysis of Android applications. With Vaccine it is possible to access and change variables of the running application and even execute methods at runtime, it also provides an effective framework to analyze the behavior of the application under different circumstances. The latest source code is available at GitHub.
Project duration: from 2013 until 2014

Information system for journaling golf tournaments – Golfriend
Calculating the results of the golf tournament by the use of paper and pencil is not an easy task. Under the aegis of the development project, we have developed software for users, a centralized server system, an internet portal for monitoring the tournament history and statistics, and for creating a community of users of the projected information system.
Project duration: from 2009 until 2010
