The Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) was established in July 2008 as the LOEWE Center for IT security research and development with an interdisciplinary and institutsübergreifendem concept of its three carriers, the TU Darmstadt, the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology and Hochschule Darmstadt, founded. Here CASED acts as the headquarters of the three institutions, which promotes cooperation and coordinated.
In the projects funded computer scientists, engineers, physicists, lawyers and economists of the three alliance partners in the basic research and applied research.
Target of CASED is the research and development of new security solutions for major growth areas of information technology, such. As embedded systems or service-oriented architectures. This should be prevented on the one hand industrial espionage, manipulation and counterfeiting, which are responsible for significant economic losses in Germany. On the other hand is to ensure that new technology and Internet services providers and users can be used safely and reliably.
