Embedded World
Anyone who wants electromobility needs a functioning charging station infrastructure. To prevent attacks on the charging station network, cybersecurity has to be integrated right from the start. To make secure and privacy-friendly charging and billing possible as well as to protect customers and operators of charging stations and connected infrastructures, researchers of the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT have developed solutions. They will present their results at Embedded World in Nürnberg end of this week. In his talk CRISP researcher Andreas Fuchs, Fraunhofer SIT, give information about "Enabling TPM2.0 with an Open Source Software Stack for Industrial and Automotive Applications".

Eurocrypt 2019
Two papers from CRISP-researchers have been accepted at the 38th Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques (Eurocrypt 2019). EUROCRYPT is one of the three most important conferences of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The conference addresses all aspects of cryptology, including theoretical foundations, cryptographic schema usage, cryptanalysis of widely used standards, cryptographic protocols, quantum cryptography, and cryptographic currencies.

Darmstadt signature procedure is in the competition for standardization
Whether WhatsApp, online shopping or software updates: we use cryptographic procedures consciously or unconsciously to protect our data from unpleasant listeners many times a day . The security of the standard RSA process, which currently secures most of the communication on the Internet, is based on the fact that our present computers do not have enough computing power to break these procedures. A quantum computer would be able to do so, that means the communication would no longer be trustworthy. For example, one could then no longer be sure that the online transfer also arrives at the right recipient. To prevent this, researchers have been developing so-called "post-quantum methods" for years, i.e. methods and algorithms that will still be safe in the age of quantum computers.

EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium
The research group Science and Technology for Peace and Security (PEASEC), led by CRISP researcher Prof. Christian Reuter, deals with the importance of IT for security, peace and security. On the one hand, researchers are investigating the resilience of IT infrastructures (eg as targets in conflict situations) and, on the other, the role of IT applications (eg interactive and collaborative technologies and social media), to prevent and manageconflicts, crises and disasters. With this expertise, PEASEC was admitted to the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium on November 14, 2018.
