CRISP researchers ensure safe infrastructure in agriculture
As part of the "GeoBox I" project, approved by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), Prof. Christian Reuter, head of the department "Wissenschaft und Technik für Frieden und Sicherheit (PEASEC)" at TU Darmstadt, works together with several project partners on standardization and reliability of the infrastructure needed in agriculture. After all, even in agriculture there is a conversation about "safety-critical infrastructure" - an attack can lead to production losses and food shortages. In order to prevent these, scientists are developing a prototype for a standardized and resilient infrastructure in which the data is kept decentralized and regionally networked. Federal Minister Julia Klöckner handed over the funding decision to the project managers today.

When the IPhone turns black
Collaborators of the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at TU Darmstadt, led by CRISP scientist Prof. Matthias Hollick, have found a vulnerability in Apple's iOS that affects more than half a billion devices. They strongly recommend that users install the newly released Update 12.1. The vulnerability allows attackers to crash iPhones and iPads with common hardware and without physical access.
