The Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt

The Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt ( CASED ) was founded in July 2008 as the LOEWE Center for IT Security Research and Development with an interdisciplinary and cross-institute concept by its three sponsors, the TU Darmstadt , the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology and the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences , founded. CASED acted as the headquarters of the three institutions, which promotes and coordinates their cooperation.

Computer scientists, engineers, physicists, lawyers and economists from the three alliance partners worked in the funded projects in basic research and application-oriented research.

The aim of CASED was to research and develop new security solutions for the most important growth areas of information technology, such as B. embedded systems or service-oriented architectures . On the one hand, this should prevent industrial espionage, manipulation and counterfeiting, which are also responsible for considerable economic damage in Germany. On the other hand, it should be achieved that new technology and internet services can be used safely and reliably by providers and users.

CASED merged with the European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE) into the Center for Research in Security and Privacy .

working area

  • Secure data : Research into the fundamentals and development of procedures for the security of digital data in a heterogeneous, dynamic and decentralized world of ubiquitous computers.
  • Safe things : Research into the fundamentals and development of procedures for protecting embedded systems, which usually only have very few resources and different communication options.
  • Secure services : Research into the fundamentals and development of procedures for the security and reliability of on-demand composed services over their entire lifetime.
  • Smart Civil Security : Research into the fundamentals and development of procedures for the security and reliability of new human-computer interactions as well as new software and communication concepts.
  • The graduate school offers a structured doctoral program for CASED scholarship holders.

education

Since the summer semester 2010, the TU Darmstadt has been offering the master’s degree in IT Security, in which almost all of CASED's Principal Investigators offer lectures and internships. The master’s degree can also be taken in combination with the undergraduate master’s degree in computer science.

The Darmstadt University since 2009 offers the specialization of "IT security" for their students of the Master program in computer science. Here, too, two principal investigators from CASED are significantly involved.

Together with the Competence Center for Applied Security Technology CAST eV and the International Institute in Life Long Learning (I3L3) at the TU Darmstadt, CASED offers professionals the opportunity to acquire a certificate in IT security. The certificate includes successful participation in IT security events in the Computer Science Department at TU Darmstadt and attending CAST workshops.
