Fraunhofer AISEC commissioned by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI): new study of laser-based fault attacks on XMSS

Silvan Streit 6. March 2024

To ensure the security of embedded systems, the integrity and authenticity of the software must be verified, for example through signatures. However, targeted hardware attacks enable malware to be used to take over the system. What risks are modern cryptographic implementations exposed to? What countermeasures need to be taken? To answer these questions, Fraunhofer AISEC was commissioned by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) to carry out a study of laser-based fault attacks on XMSS. The focus is on a hash-based, quantum-secure scheme for creating and verifying signatures based on the Winternitz One-Time-Signature (WOTS) scheme.

Anomaly Detection with Quantum Machine Learning – Identifying Cybersecurity Issues in Datasets

Kilian Tscharke 30. January 2024

Since the release of ChatGPT, the popularity of Machine Learning (ML) has grown immensely. Besides Natural Language Processing (NLP) anomaly detection is an important branch of data analysis whose goal is to identify observations or events that deviate from the rest of the data. At Fraunhofer AISEC, cybersecurity experts explore Quantum Machine Learning methods for anomaly detection. One approach is based on the classification of quantum matter while a second method uses a type of Quantum Support Vector Machine with a kernel that is calculated on a quantum computer. This blog post explains the fundamentals of anomaly detection and shows the two approaches being pursued by the Quantum Security Technologies group at Fraunhofer AISEC.

Towards Automated Cloud Security Certification

Nico Haas 6. December 2023

Obtaining a cloud security certification requires a lot of preparation time, which mainly involves manual processes that are prone to error. In other words, several employees cannot perform their usual duties during an audit preparation. Our Clouditor tool aims to improve this process by making audit preparations more systematic and automatable. This makes it possible to continuously monitor cloud services and check their compliance with a cloud security catalog such as BSI C5[1], EUCS[2], or the CCM[3].

gallia – An Extendable Pentesting Framework

Tobias Specht 28. August 2023

gallia is an extendable pentesting framework with the focus on the automotive domain, developed by Fraunhofer AISEC under the Apache 2.0 license. The scope of the toolchain is conducting penetration tests from a single ECU up to whole cars. Currently, the main focus lies on the UDS interface but is not limited to it. Acting as a generic interface, the logging functionality implements reproducible tests and enables post-processing tasks.
The following blog post introduces gallia’s architecture, its plugin interface, and its intended use case. The post covers the interaction between its components and shows how gallia can be extended for other use cases.
