Press / Media

The press team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) supports journalists in their research on cybersecurity and data protection. We connect researchers with the media for interviews, background discussions, statements, and live broadcasts. Through our press releases, we provide information on the latest research findings, studies, and new security solutions from the institute, as well as the activities of the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity (ATHENE).

Do you have an interview request, need additional images, or would like to get accredited as a member of the press for an event? Simply send an email to presse@remove.this.sit.fraunhofer.de and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Encryption for everyone
In the wake of the revelations that intelligence agencies have been engaged in mass surveillance activities, both industry and society at large are looking for practicable encryption solutions that protect businesses and individuals. Previous technologies have failed in practice because they were too expensive or not user friendly enough. Fraunhofer has launched an open initiative called “Volksverschlüsselung” with the aim of bringing end-to-end encryption to the masses. Fraunhofer researchers will be presenting a prototype of their easy-to-use software and the infrastructure concept behind it at CeBIT 2015 (Hall 9, Booth E40).
