Technical University of Darmstadt
For more than 15 years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) and the Technical University of Darmstadt have been building a diverse research ecosystem in Darmstadt with a focus on IT security.
There are now more than 700 researchers in Darmstadt working on current and future IT security topics. The researchers focus in particular on security and privacy in information technology, with an emphasis on
- Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing
- Secure Engineering
- Privacy and Identity Management
- Cryptography and Cryptographic Protocols
- Security in Cyber-Physical & Mobile Systems
This diversity of topics is unique in Europe and makes Darmstadt a popular place to study. In addition to its traditional master’s program in computer science, TU Darmstadt has established a master’s program in IT security, in which Fraunhofer SIT is heavily involved.
The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR) has identified Darmstadt as one of Germany’s most important centers for IT security.
