Security Vulnerabilities in Fingerprint Sensors and Crypto Wallets

Security experts from paluno, the Ruhr Institute for Software Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed a new technique that, for the first time, enables fuzz testing of protected memory areas in modern processors. Their method revealed many vulnerabilities in security-critical software. The research was funded within the CASA* cluster of excellence.

Light into the Black Box

Explainable AI aims to make the results of artificial intelligence algorithms understandable. A research team led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Pohl from paluno – The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen has developed an explainable AI technique for predictive monitoring of business processes.

Data Protection between Edge and Cloud

Edge Computing is a key technology for the Internet of Thing (IoT). However, the combination with cloud computing poses new challenges for data protection. Scientists from the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen (IDE) have joined forces with NOKIA to develop an algorithm that supports the data-protection-compliant and cost-saving allocation of data-processing application components between the edge and the cloud.

Protection for Safety-Critical Systems

Trustworthiness is the basis for every good collaboration. This applies to humans as well as machines. Professor Lucas Davi and his team from the software engineering institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen have developed a solution to check the integrity of embedded devices without affecting their runtime behavior.

New Open Access Book on the Foundations for Big Data Innovation

How can Europe leverage the potential of Big Data? How can data be used to create value for society and the economy? Which technologies are promising? What political and economic measures are needed? Answers to these and other question are provided by “The Elements of Big Data Value”.

Easier Learning with Augmented Reality

Homework is a stress factor in many families. Children are supposed to do it independently, but it often costs parents time and nerves as well. paluno - The Ruhr institute for software technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen wants to provide relieve with new technology. In the joint project FederleichtLernen, the working group of Prof. Schneegaß and interdisciplinary partners are developing a learning system that gives direct support by means of augmented reality. ...

DevOps Tools for the Future Internet of Things

They enable the next level of innovation on the Internet of Things (IoT): Smart IoT systems process large amounts of data and can act largely autonomously thanks to comprehensive sensors and actuators. Together with European research partners, the software engineering institute paluno has developed tools for the continuous development and operation of such systems.

From Documents to Models

The benefits of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) are recognized, but the transition to new way of thinking and working is difficult for many organizations. In collaboration with automotive supplier Schaeffler the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen has investigated how it can succeed.

New at paluno: Amr Rizk researches on the Network of the Future

He wants to make digital infrastructures fit for the future: Prof. Dr. Amr Rizk investigates how networks for data exchange and communication can respond quickly to sudden changing demands while remaining efficient and secure. The new professor at the software technology institute paluno at the University of Duisburg-Essen will focus on industrial automation and streaming for immersive technologies.
