Always on the Cutting Edge: Research Projects From genua
In the field of IT security, there is often no direct path to the goal. The problems are usually complex and a great deal of know-how, experience and persistence are required to find intelligent solutions. But this is precisely what excites us – and the research results enable the development of useful innovations time and again to better safeguard modern information technology.
To find truly good solutions, it is often useful to bundle various competences, perspectives and resources. It is for this reason that genua participates in research projects: Here, we work together with universities, research institutes and other companies to solve fundamental problems in the area of IT security. Participants exchange and discuss know-how, with all sides benefiting from the collectively produced results. The sponsored projects thereby make an important contribution to the transfer of knowledge and strengthen Germany as a research and business location.
New Research Project
QuaSiModO
Quantum computers are expected to soon solve highly complex computational tasks extremely quickly. They therefore already pose a threat to current encryption algorithms. In the research project QuaSiModO (Quantum-Safe VPN Modules and Operation Modes), new quantum-resistant algorithms are studied, tested and implemented in VPN standards and VPN implementations. genua is the coordinator of the collaboration; project partners include ADVA Optical Networking SE, the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich as well as Fraunhofer AISEC.
The project runs until August 2022 and is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

New Research Project
WINTERMUTE
With partners from business and science, genua has been developing new IT security technologies for the improved monitoring and shielding of complex communication networks against cyberattacks in the WINTERMUTE research project since May 2020. The project focuses on the AI-supported situation assessment for enforcing security and improving usability for network management.
In cooperation with the research partners of WINTERMUTE, genua performs the role of the consortium leader. Project partners include the Human-Computer Interaction research group at the University of Bremen, the Privacy and Security in Information Systems group at the University of Bamberg, the Chair of Communication Networks at the University of Würzburg as academic partner, acs plus GmbH as well as IsarNet Software Solutions GmbH. The project runs until 2023 and receives funding from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
