6G-CampuSens Successfully Completed

In the 6G-CampuSens project, the Barkhausen Institut developed secure and trustworthy 6G technologies for industrial applications. The focus was on ISAC and O-RAN, as well as solutions for data protection and resilience. At the final event, BI-researchers presented innovative demonstrators on secure 5G applications and post-quantum-secure control of autonomous systems.

BI researchers were granted patent for compact antenna technology

Researchers at Barkhausen Institut (BI) were granted a patent for novel compact antenna designs that combine multiple antennas within a single structure. The technology enables isolated signals with different polarizations and could support future wireless communication systems, including connected vehicles, robotics, and Internet-of-Things applications.

PRESS RELEASE: New Research Chip from Dresden for Secure Digital Systems

With the Masur25 research chip, the BI has developed a platform that allows researchers to test new technologies for secure and trustworthy digital systems in practice. The chip makes it easier for research institutions to develop and evaluate their own chip modules without having to design and manufacture a complete chip themselves.

Security and Privacy

One of the requirements for a trustworthy IoT is a secure and privacy-respecting data processing. Why, despite all the efforts, has it not yet been possible to get to grips with the security problems in the IoT sector? Where do we currently stand in the area of research and development?
