Hessentag with CRISP

This year as well CRISP presents exiting cyber security exhibits at the common booth of Hessian Universities "Hessen creates knowledge".

The visitors of Hessentags can record pictures of their finger veins and can take a stroll trough the Smart City of tomorrow.

GIPA - the German-Israeli Partnership Accelerator enters the next round

The German-Israeli Partnership Accelerator for Cybersecurity (GIPA) connects a leading research location with Israel‘s start-up scene. GIPA is a new initiative to accelerate cybersecurity research collaboration between Germany and Israel and shape the world's cybersecurity landscape. Then initiative is launched by Fraunhofer SIT and Hebrew University of Jerusalem HUJI. We’re looking for the best IT talents who want to become cybersecurity innovators and develop technology for new business ideas.

Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2018

Ágnes Kiss from the ENCRYPTO group of TU Darmstadt has been invited as an outstanding young researcher to the Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2018. Distinguished speakers at the HLF 2018 include highly influential researchers in cryptography such as Whitfield Diffie (Turing Award 2015), Martin Hellman (Turing Award 2015), and Silvio Micali (Turing Award 2012). Ágnes Kiss research focuses are the design and evaluation of efficient and secure private function evaluation protocols.

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.

ASIACCS 2018

Four publications by CRISP scientists from the TU Darmstadt are accepted at the ACM ASIA Conference on Information, Computer and Communications Security (ASIACCS). The ASIACCS is one of the most important conferences in the field of cybersecurity research. The program committee of the ASIACCS 2018 is represented by the CRISP scientists Prof. Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi and Prof. Thomas Schneider.

Utimaco Applied Crypto Symposium Bonn 2018

Dr. Ruben Niederhagen, Fraunhofer SIT, gives a speech at the 2. Utimaco Applied Crypto Symposium about the topic of  “Post-Quantum Cryptography – Overview and Challenges”. After a successful symposium in the USA last year the format now comes to Europe.

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.
