“A cyber attack is not a spontaneous occurrence, but rather an event that has been prepared a long time ahead”

Targeted attacks aimed at the IT infrastructure of public institutions, companies or even entire nation states are frequently classified as “advanced persistent threats” by the scientific community. These attacks make use of a variety of techniques, including methods of social engineering, and they are prepared stealthy and a long time in advance. IT security expert Stefan Rass is working on a set of support tools, which are designed to simplify the selection of safety measures.

Vom Außen aufs Innere schließen: Inverse Probleme in der Mathematik ermöglichen neue Einblicke

Inverse Probleme in der Mathematik bestimmen die Ursachen für Effekte: Beispielsweise kann man über das Messen von Spannungsverteilung an der Körperoberfläche auf die Beschaffenheit des Gewebes im Körper schließen. Die Lösung solcher Probleme ist derzeit häufig sehr rechenzeitintensiv. Barbara Kaltenbacher arbeitet daher nun in einem FWF-Projekt an neuen Rechenverfahren für allgemeine inverse Probleme.

New technology to predict interference in wireless networks

If two musicians were to play at the same concert venue simultaneously, it would not only sound terrible, but it would also be impossible to understand the song lyrics. The same is true whenever huge volumes of data is exchanged between sensors nodes. Mahin Atiq is working to predict the associated interference that arise in wireless networks.
