Cyber security has been the focus of research at TU for many years. This also applies to cryptography, the high mathematics behind security applications;
By Christoph Pelzl - Spread over five years, the CAESAR competition focused on encryption processes for digital information. Now the jury has selected TU Graz's ASCON algorithm as a means of secure encryption for the internet of things. Authenticated encryption of information is aimed at ensuring that messages cannot be read or changed during transmission. It is an aspect of security that will pose significant challenges in the next few years, especially in light of the rapid development of the internet of things. TU Graz's Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications has a research team specialising in cryptography. In 2014, the institute submitted its ASCON algorithm, which was developed in-house, for the high-profile, international Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness , also known as CAESAR. The algorithm was tested for five years and assessed in terms of its cryptanalytic and practical security.
