It is against, that scientifically based facts are negated, relativised or simply „alternative facts“ are opposed equally, in order to gain capital politically.

CRISP Researchers submit statement regarding EU-Guidelines

The research group „Sichere Mobile Netzwerke“ headed by Prof. Matthias Hollick, CYSEC [at] TU Darmstadt, and six further research groups out of entire Germany have submitted a statement regarding the EU-guideline „Radio Equipment Directive (RED)“.The guideline updates the specifications for the certification of radion stations which also include WLAN-Router and Smartphones. This guideline will be implemented in Germany as the Funkanlagengesetz.

Cyber­security for the Trains of Tomorrow

The digital transformation introduces many companies with chances even in the rail sector: Through the digitalisation of  Leit- und Sicher­ungs­technik (LST) many processes can be improved and the transportation performance can be increased. The use of standarized data nets however make the security technology vulnerble for potential hach attacks. The new research project „Hard­ware­basierte Sicher­heits­platt­form für Eisenbahn Leit- und Sicher­ungs­technik“ – in short HASELNUSS – develops a security system, which defends from attacks and also includes the long life cycle ofthe trains.

Bug-proof in the Future

The internet is getting a new standard for encrypted communication with the TLS 1.3. Prof. Marc Fischlin, CYSEC [at] TU Darmstadt and his team have participated in the analysis of the protocol have tested the cryptographic procedures - they are more efficient  and less prone to errors. But are they also sustainable?

Volks­ver­schlüs­se­lung for small and medium-sized companies

The CRISP partner Fraunhofer SIT now offers a commercial solution of the Volks­ver­schlüs­se­lung application (VV app, for short) for small and medium- sized companies. They can now apply for the practical test at www.volksverschluesselung.de/kmu, by which the companies may test the system for one year free of charge. The necessary individual registration of selected companies takes place through an internet video chat.
