  • Security of 5G/6G backbone components and networks / 2024

    Strengthening the security of broadband 5G/6G communication networks

    Press release / January 23, 2024

    The security of communication networks is becoming more and more important with increasing digitalization. The "RealSec5G" project aims at testing the requirements for data security in communication devices for 5G/6G infrastructures in a deterministic time-sensitive network (TSN). For this purpose, the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS is designing a TSN-MACsec function block that will be tested as part of a demonstrator. The final implementation and performance analysis will be done in cooperation with the industrial company albis-elcon system Germany GmbH.

  • Fraunhofer IPMS is coordinating project CBQD / 2023

    Photonic quantum chip for fast and reliable random number generation

    Press release / October 11, 2023

    The German Ministry for Research and Education BMBF is funding the CBQD project - chip-based quantum random device - for research into quantum-safe high-speed communications. In the CBQD project, a compact chip will be developed that generates random numbers at high speed based on quantum photonic effects. It meets the requirements of the Common Criteria for IT product security. The chip will become the basis for numerous IT security applications. Fraunhofer IPMS is responsible for coordination and QNRG chip integration in the project.
