© Roberto Schirdewahn In order to test cryptographic techniques for microdevices, the researchers develop the central components of the devices and implement them on evaluation platforms.
The Hardware Security Group at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum is currently working towards protecting the data against threats of tomorrow with the devices available today. Due to a novel computation paradigm, quantum computers could break certain cryptographic techniques that are widely used today. We must now brace ourselves for the fact that highly powerful quantum computers may exist in a few years’ time, says Prof Dr.-Ing. Tim Güneysu.
Cryptography is implemented in many devices with a long service life, eg in satellites. Those devices have to remain secure in many years’ to come...
