Dr. Haya Shulman from Fraunhofer SIT and head of the research area Analytics Based Cybersecurity (ABC) in ATHENE is co-chair of this year's European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS2021), together with Prof. Dr Elisa Bertino, Purdue University, USA. As early as 1990, ESORICS was established as a European forum through which scientists from the field of computer security could exchange ideas with researchers from related research areas. Today, the symposium is one of the most important European conferences in the field of computer security. More info.
Dr. Haya Shulman (ABC Coordinator) - Winner of the 8th German IT Security Award
12.02.2021
ATHENE scientist and ABC Coordinator Dr. Haya Shulman from Fraunhofer SIT won the first prize and thus secured prize money of 100.000 euros. She received the award for the development of "Cache Test", a cybersecurity solution for the protection of Internet infrastructures. Using the "cache test", manufacturers and operators can automatically test the security of their DNS products and infrastructures against so-called cache poisoning attacks. These attacks can, for example, lead to Internet users being redirected to fake web pages and thus being tricked into revealing sensitive data and passwords. They are also the basis for very far-reaching attacks through which telephone calls can be tapped or web certificates can be forged. Mehr Info.

APNIC blog discusses the recent proposal by ATHENE researchers to distribute the power of RPKI authorities

The internet infrastructure is still very vulnerable to attack. Security improvements, such as Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), rely on cryptographic signatures. Although private keys should remain with the owners of the domains and internet naming resources, in practice they are outsourced to centralized authorities. This poses significant security risks.
