PiQASO

Post-Quantum Cryptography As-a-Service for Common Transmission Systems and Infrastructures

Duration 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2027, Funded by EU - DIGITAL-ECCC-2024-DEPLOY-CYBER-06-PQCINDUSTR

Show project description Hide project description

The PiQASO project addresses the urgent need for quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions to secure critical infrastructures and data in the face of advancing quantum computing threats. As quantum capabilities mature, existing cryptographic methods risk becoming obsolete, jeopardizing the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. PiQASO’s primary goal is to deliver agile, scalable, and practical Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) solutions that seamlessly integrate into legacy systems without requiring additional specialized hardware.

The project introduces “PQC as a Service” (PQaaS), providing operational implementations of NIST-standardized algorithms like Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+. PiQASO enables robust encryption, authentication, and identity management across diverse industries, offering flexibility through crypto agility—adaptation to evolving cryptographic needs. The project emphasizes the secure execution of PQC, incorporating programmable accelerators to optimize performance while maintaining resistance to physical and side-channel attacks.

BIBA will provide a comprehensive demonstration scenario - a safeguarding aviation testing infrastructure. It will show how a Distributed Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing in aerospace will benefit from secure communication channels fortified by PQC, ensuring real-time responsiveness (<100ms) and protecting intellectual property. Through these advancements, PiQASO aims to establish a sustainable path toward quantum-secure critical systems, fostering trust and resilience in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

SIM-TWIST

Development of a simulation environment for automated terminal operation concepts with special consideration of automated twistlock handling

Duration 01.01.2025 - 31.12.2026, Funded by BMDV

Show project description Hide project description

Twistlocks are mechanical locking elements that are used to secure containers on ships. The current manual handling of twistlocks is time-consuming and poses risks to occupational safety. The research project SIM-TWIST investigates how automated twistlock handling systems (ATS) could be used in container terminals. A simulation environment is being developed and used to derive specific recommendations for the use of ATS. The benefit is the reduction of technical and economic risks in the future use of ATS and the promotion of the market maturity of such systems. This can increase efficiency, safety and profitability of container terminals.

The NaBeMi research project addresses the growing importance of sustainability in consumer behavior and the challenges SMEs face in achieving sustainability goals in production. The aim of the project is to develop a methodology for sustainable resource planning that considers environmental, economic and social aspects. A web-based support system supports the resource planning process for manual and hybrid assembly systems. The methodology integrates three quality control loops to resolve conflicts between traditional and sustainability objectives, enabling comprehensive resource planning. This approach analyzes trade-offs and ensures high quality planning.

Wind-X

Conceptualisation, implementation and demonstration of interoperable solutions for traceability and digital twins in the wind industry

Duration 01.11.2024 - 31.07.2027, Funded by BMWK / NextGenerationEU

Show project description Hide project description

The Wind-X project aims to promote the wind industry through a data ecosystem for innovative and sustainable wind turbines over their entire life cycle. Experience, technologies and solutions from Catena-X, Gaia-X and other Manufacturing-X initiatives will be transferred to the wind industry. The aim is to develop data-driven solutions and software services specifically for the wind industry. Intelligent wind turbines and components prepared for digitalisation with standard-compliant asset administration shell sub-models are intended to support this. These digital twins will be equipped with configuration and communication capabilities as well as data room connectors. In addition, value-added services (‘business applications’) are being developed that utilise raw data from the supply chain for industry-specific use cases. Connectors and basic services serve as the infrastructure for operating the value-added services and enable interoperable data rooms. This will be demonstrated using the two use cases ‘Traceability for Sustainability and Logistics’ and ‘Digital Twin in the Production and in the Field’ for the wind industry.

BIBA's main objective is to coordinate and develop these two use cases. In particular, the focus here is on specifying the information requirements, clarifying the framework conditions, defining and deriving business mechanisms and identifying relevant data sources and sinks. Building on this, BIBA and its partners will drive forward the concept development and implementation of sub-models and the data integration of the superordinate data space. BIBA will then support the development of data room services for querying and transferring data from the sub-models for both use cases. BIBA will then develop a demonstrator for both use cases.
