Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences starts with two new Cybersecurity-Projects
The biometrics research group, led by Prof. Christoph Busch, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, starts with two new projects: The DIRECT-PAD project will explore hardware-based Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) solutions for fingerprint readers with finger-on-glass (fingerprint-on-glass) sensors and demonstrate their feasibility in principle.
The aim of the BioBiDa project is development of efficient algorithms and datastructures for biometric identification, which can perform search queries on large biometric datasets in real-time, while simultaneously facilitating biometric data protection.

Freezing the Web
Everybody, who uses the Internet, is familiar with the problem: you need information of a web site urgently, want to make a booking or an online-purchase, but the required web site does not load. Common measures, such as restarting your computer or checking the WiFi connection, are not always successful, sometimes it also helps to wait for some time and then try again. Scientists at the Center for Research in Security and Privacy, CRISP demonstrate that malicious intentions may cause such scenarios. The scientists discovered vulnerabilities in JavaScript software modules, which allow cyber criminals to freeze specific web sites, so that other users cannot access the web site anymore.
