Trustworthy Physical Interfaces

Elektromagnetische Wellen sind die Basis für die Funkkommunikation sowie für viele Anwendungen der Sensorik (z. B. Radar, Spektroskopie) im Internet der Dinge. Um sicherzustellen, dass alle Prozesse reibungslos ablaufen, müssen technische Regeln und Standards festgelegt werden. Diese teilweise jahrzehntelang geltenden Standards legen fest, wie Geräte miteinander kommunizieren und zusammenarbeiten sollen. Sie sorgen dafür, dass alles gut funktioniert und dass Geräte verschiedener Hersteller miteinander kompatibel sind. Durch unsere Forschung erkennen wir Herausforderungen für die Vertrauenswürdigkeit. So kann das BI die Standardisierung rechtzeitig beeinflussen sowie die Forschungsgemeinschaft entsprechend sensibilisieren.

Die Forschungsgruppen Radio Frequency Design Enablement und Wireless Connectivity and Sensing arbeiten gemeinsam an zwei für die Vertrauenswürdigkeit zukünftiger Systeme besonders bedeutenden Themen: 

  1. Joint Communications and Sensing (JC&S): Diese Technologie kombiniert Systeme aus Funkkommunikation und Radar. Sie nutzt dabei dieselben elektromagnetischen Wellen sowohl dafür, Informationen zu übertragen als auch Umgebungsdaten zu erfassen. Sie soll bereits im nächsten Mobilfunkstandard 6G eingesetzt werden. Unser Ziel ist es, die Grundlagen für die Vertrauenswürdigkeit von JC&S zu schaffen.
     
  2. Physical Layer Security: Hier wird die Kombination von Funkkommunikation und Sensorik gezielt genutzt, um die Vertrauenswürdigkeit der Datenübertragung zu verbessern. Daraus resultierende Verfahren können aus heutiger Sicht auch von zukünftigen Quantencomputern nicht „gebrochen“ werden.
