New research project MANTIS aims to protect critical infrastructure with the help of quanta / 2024
Preventing cyberattacks on gas control systems & co.
Secure gas control systems, power lines or communication networks are essential and therefore count as critical infrastructure. In view of the threat of cyberattacks, a new research project led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena aims to protect these networks from hacker attacks using modern quantum technology. The MANTIS project is specifically researching the advantages of so-called MDI-QKD over conventional QKD methods. The five-million-euro project was now officially launched with a kick-off event.
