5G Lab Germany Forschungsfeld Lausitz

The goal of 5G LAB GERMANY FORSCHUNGSFELD LAUSITZ project is to demonstrate connected driving using 5G communication technologies. Stationary sensors (cameras) are used to analyze the current traffic situation and, based on this, transmit information and commands to the vehicles to control their driving behavior. For safe connected driving, it is imperative that IT security is guaranteed at all times during the collection, transmission and processing of sensor data and control commands. The Barkhausen Institute is conducting the corresponding research within the project. Encryption and integrity protection during data transmission and trustworthy execution environments are applied. The latter enable trustworthy data processing even in non-trusted cloud environments.
In addition, privacy-friendly technologies for processing camera images are being developed. This is to exclude any violation of the privacy of (uninvolved) third parties such as pedestrians, cyclists and others. The plan is to process the images during capture so that only relevant information, such as the location of people or objects, is transmitted. Identifying data such as faces or gait will not be transmitted and will remain secret.
