ATHENE Event Series "Legal Framework of Cybersecurity Research"

The virtual event series offers cybersecurity researchers support in clarifying legal issues that arise in the course of their research - for example, when identifying vulnerabilities or simulating cyberattacks. Today, Prof. Dr. Gerald Spindler from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen will give a lecture on "My Code, Your Code, Our Code? Cybersecurity Research and Copyright Law." Dr. Steven Arzt, ATHENE | Fraunhofer SIT, will introduce the topic.

ATHENE Lecture with Yuval Yarom

Assoc. Prof. Yuval Yarom from the University of Adelaide is a guest at our ATHENE Lecture Series. In his talk "Automating cryptographic code generation" he will present two approaches to automating the generation of correct, secure and efficient cryptographic code.

Lunch Lecture: Compact introduction to the topic of "data transfer"

Data protection is an important topic for all of us, regardless of whether we are startups, SMEs or corporations - and it is very complex. Our data protection law experts from Fraunhofer SIT will talk online about many aspects of data protection during a joint lunch break.

Lunch Lecture: Compact introduction to the topic "Responsibility & Order Processing"

Data protection is an important topic for all of us, regardless of whether we are startups, SMEs or corporations - and it is very complex. Our data protection law experts from Fraunhofer SIT will talk online about many aspects of data protection during a joint lunch break.

ATHENE Lecture with Ulrich Rührmair

The next ATHENE Lecture will feature Prof. Ulrich Rührmair from LMU Munich / University of Connecticut. In his talk "Scalable Security without Classical Secrets", he addresses the important questions of how we can put secret keys into billions of mobile and low-cost devices so that they can effectively protect against adversarial access there, and how security can be maintained even in the face of potentially untrustworthy hardware manufacturers. In response to these questions, he outlines how the recent primitive Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) can be useful for these issues.

T.I.S.P. Seminar in Darmstadt

Information security is becoming more and more important: in order to protect electronic business processes, companies are increasingly looking for qualified employees who can prove that they are equal to the complex challenges of IT security. The TeleTrusT Information Security Professional (T.I.S.P.) is the only effective proof of this kind in Europe. ATHENE member Fraunhofer SIT offers seminars to prepare for the exam.

CAST Workshop: Law and IT Security: Digital Sovereignty - A Demand of Data Protection and Data Security?

Digital sovereignty is being called for by the European Commission, the German government and the state government of Hesse. This objective has met with a great deal of approval in the political debate. On the one hand, this is because the dependence on hardware and software from the USA and China and on services from global IT corporations means that there is a great need for self-determination in the use of information technology. Another reason is that the concept of digital sovereignty is not very clear-cut. It therefore makes sense to define more precisely what is to be understood by digital sovereignty from the perspective of data protection and IT security. Only then can it be determined to what extent digital sovereignty is possible, with what strategies and by what means it can be pursued, and whether the disadvantages that arise in the process should be accepted. The event will explore these questions from the perspectives of data protection and IT security.

Cybersecurity Learning Lab: Digital Forensics for Internal Investigations (Advanced Course)

In the course of digitalization, cyber attacks on companies are increasing exponentially. The perpetrators are hackers and insiders from within their own organization, so the forensic investigation of an information security incident is important. In many cases, IT departments lack the know-how to conduct forensic investigations. In this seminar, forensics experts from Fraunhofer SIT teach suitable methods of IT forensics for data carriers and RAM. By means of practical exercises, the knowledge gained will be deepened in order to be able to conduct forensic examinations on one's own.

23. Hub Night

Hub Night is back - live and in color!

After a long absence, the time has come again: Hub Night is back in presence. We are therefore very pleased to welcome you on Thursday, 23.2.2023, in our hallowed halls for what is now the 23rd Hub Night!

Learning Lab Cybersecurity: Security and Privacy of Bluetooth Low Energy

The widespread use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and the lack of protection against attacks in the basic configuration make BLE a popular target for attacks.
Experts from Fraunhofer SIT will bring participants up to date on the security and privacy of Bluetooth Low Energy and provide an overview of published vulnerabilities in the BLE protocol and in specific implementations. The training is rounded off with a best practice for the design of BLE applications.
