Cybersecurity Spotlights

Explore the research highlights of Fraunhofer AISEC

The Cybersecurity Spotlights present selected topics of cybersecurity research at Fraunhofer AISEC. Find information on current challenges and technology solutions in IT security as well as the main focus of our applied cybersecurity research and its application in the digital world.

 

Cyber Resilience Act

The Cyber Resilience Act became binding law on October 10, 2024. But what security requirements apply now? Who is affected? Find out everything you need to know about the EU regulation and get to know the tools developed at Fraunhofer AISEC that can support you in implementing the Cyber Resilience Act. 

 

Trusted Electronics

Trusted electronics perform their intended functions reliably and precisely and their origin and configuration are traceable. Researching and developing tangible solutions, technologies and tools is the key to reliable electronics.

 

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Quantum computers pose a threat to IT security as a whole, since they may effectively break established encryption processes. The Competence Center for Post-Quantum Cryptography provides support in the switch to quantum computer-resistant cryptographic processes.

 

Deepfakes

“Deepfakes” are deceptively real but manipulated video and audio recordings that can be created only with the help of artificial intelligence. Fraunhofer AISEC understands the risks and challenges associated with deepfakes — and is developing a toolkit to expose them.
