OUSPG has been active as an independent academic research group in the Computer Engineering Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering in the University of Oulu since summer 1996.

OUSPG is most known for its participation in protocol implementation security testing, which they called [[robustness testing]], using the PROTOS mini-simulation method.<ref name="kaksonen_2001">{{Cite thesis |type= Licentiate thesis |chapter= |title= A Functional Method for Assessing Protocol Implementation Security |url= |last= Kaksonen |first= Rauli |year= 2001 |place=Espoo |publisher= Technical Research Centre of Finland |series= VTT Publications 448 |accessdate= |docket= |oclc= | url = http://www.vtt.fi/inf/pdf/publications/2001/P448.pdf |accessdateaccess-date=12 September 2013 |format=PDF |isbn= 951-38-5874-X | pages = 128&nbsp;p. + app. 15&nbsp;p.| noppno-pp=y}}</ref>

The PROTOS was co-operated project with VTT and number of industrial partners. The project developed different approaches of testing implementations of protocols using [[Black-box testing|black-box]] (i.e. functional) testing methods. The goal was to support pro-active elimination of faults with information security implications, promote awareness in these issues and develop methods to support customer driven evaluation and acceptance testing of implementations. Improving the security robustness of products was attempted through supporting the development process.
