International research team manipulates mobile devices with "Ghost Touch”

Touch screens on mobile devices can be attacked and manipulated via charging cables and power supply units. This is what researchers at the System Security Lab at TU Darmstadt have discovered together with a Chinese research team. Several smartphones and standalone touchscreen panels could be compromised in practical tests by simulated touches, the “ghost touches”. The results were presented at this year's “IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy.”

Third funding phase includes new project area “Transfer”

The Collaborative Research Center CROSSING continues into its third funding period. The Grants Committee of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) agreed to extend the funding until the end of June 2026 to research and develop cryptography-based security solutions enabling trust in new and next generation computing environments.

CROSSING researchers develop anti-eavesdropping quantum network

While quantum computers offer many novel possibilities, they also pose a threat to internet security since these supercomputers make common encryption methods vulnerable. Based on the so-called quantum key distribution, CROSSING researchers at TU Darmstadt have developed a new, tap-proof communication network. Their results have now been presented in the renowned journal “PRX Quantum”.
