Security, privacy and abuse prevention

Ensuring data protection, integrity, and trust is a prerequisite for the acceptance and long-term success of digital ecosystems. Companies are facing increasingly complex requirements in the areas of identity management, policy enforcement, tamper resistance, and regulatory compliance. Traditional security approaches are often insufficient to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance with legal requirements, and maintain the trustworthiness of digital platforms. Our research area develops holistic security concepts that combine modern cryptography, decentralized identities, automated compliance checks, and innovative protocols for machine identity management.

A particular focus is on developing solutions for cross-border data assurance that enable secure and trustworthy data exchange in international and highly networked contexts. We support companies in implementing secure and transparent data infrastructures that comply with regulatory requirements and promote the acceptance of digital solutions. Our research includes the development of new security architectures, the performance of risk analyses, the support of proof-of-concepts, and close cooperation with partners from industry, academia, and standardization bodies.

The results of our work show that the use of modern security and data protection technologies can significantly increase the security, transparency, and user-friendliness of digital systems. Our solutions strengthen trust in digital platforms, promote the widespread use of innovative technologies, and contribute to making the digital transformation secure, responsible, and sustainable.
