Barkhausen Institut: Barkhausen Institut

Trustworthiness for a Connected World

The Barkhausen Institut (BI) is an internationally recognized research institute conducting cutting-edge research on the trustworthiness of networked electronic systems. In an interdisciplinary and international team, we are jointly pursuing the goal of building a reliable foundation for the Internet of the future and enabling trust in digital technologies, in particular by designing trustworthy platform chips.

We are shaping the future of digitalization – with trustworthiness as our foundation. In an increasingly connected world, we combine technological innovation with a deep sense of social responsibility. Our research and development is aimed at creating secure, transparent and sustainable solutions that meet not only technical but also human needs. Together, we are working on a digital future based on integrity, sustainability and trustworthy technologies.
