The fact is that key technologies such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and new cryptographic processes will have a massive impact on cyber security in the future. Around the globe, across all borders. This makes it all the more important to think through the effects on the day after tomorrow, to penetrate the back doors, to understand the added value and to make use of it – by having it researched.
Our topics in this focus area
Autonomous intelligent systems are playing an increasingly important role in cyber security by complementing and enhancing physical security measures. In this topic area, we focus on swarms of unmanned systems.
Artificial intelligence has become an indispensable tool in the fight against cyber threats, but it also poses new challenges and potential points of attack. We are therefore working on researching and supporting the development of highly resilient, robust and verifiably secure machine learning components in the high-security and defense-relevant environment.
Quantum technologies could fundamentally change cyber security. That is why we are working on the development of a mobile quantum computer and investigating how new types of sensors affect the security of cryptographic systems.
Future high-performance telecommunications infrastructures must be armed against previously unknown cyber security threats. In the field of communication of the future, we are therefore working on innovative ideas for securing existing and developing new or alternative communication technologies.
Cryptography is the basis for secure digital communication and indispensable for data protection, digital identities and trustworthy IT systems. Our focus is on the development of robust and future-proof cryptographic processes that effectively protect both individuals and state structures and reliably safeguard privacy against spying and manipulation right down to end device level.
