Infineon Technologies AG, together with the Fraunhofer Institute AISEC, conducted the “RACE-I” study on behalf of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). The study was divided into two phases. In phase A, an analysis of the RISC-V market and the need for a crypto engine based on RISC-V was carried out. Phase B focused on the identification of required cryptographic extensions, primitives and protocols.

Dieser Bericht ist das Ergebnis der Untersuchung der Schnittstellen der OpenSSL-Bibliothek. Es werden die Architektur sowie die Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Komponenten und Funktionen beschrieben, um ein möglichst vollständiges Verständnis der Bibliothek zu erhalten.

The BSI has already comprehensively analysed the state of QML research and technology in two projects and examined it from the perspective of IT security. The content and results of both projects are presented below in ascending order of topicality.

The security of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is an active and fast-moving research area. Many questions and problems regarding the systematic safeguarding and testing of AI-systems are still open. Within the project "Security of AI Systems: Fundamentals", the BSI conducted three studies to address this complex of topics.

Diese Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Sicherheitsrisiken sich aus der durch die O-RAN Alliance spezifizierten O-RAN-Umsetzung eines 3GPP-RANs ergeben.

The study aims to product-independently describe and analyze MANO so that specific certification requirements can be created based on the results of the study.

Since the need for post-quantum cryptography emerged the interest in hash-based signatures (HBS) has significantly increased. Since their standardization especially stateful HBS like XMSS have been deployed in several products ranging from embedded devices up to servers.

In einem Projekt hat es das BSI unternommen, die Sicherheitsanforderungen herauszuarbeiten, die die Rechtsordnung gegenwärtig an die Herstellung und den Einsatz von IT stellt – teilweise in Gestalt von Spezialgesetzen, in erster Linie jedoch durch die Auslegung bestehender allgemeiner Rechtsvorschriften.

The past decade has led to considerable growth of the cybersecurity sector and, as a result, to a dynamic environment for startups. New trends, innovations and technologies in the area of cybersecurity and the corresponding key technologies will therefore have a significant impact on the future. For this reason, the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH “Innovation for Cybersecurity” (Cyberagentur) publish this Cyber Startup Landscape of the Bay Area to provide an overview of the most relevant startups, technologies, and trends in cybersecurity.
