Research Assistants (m/w/d) at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Research Institute CODE for "Secure Cloud-Based Data Storage And Services in the Mobile/Dynamic Environment"

• The Universität der Bundeswehr München (UniBw M) is firmly anchored in the national as well as international research landscape. The staff members conduct research together with external partners from academia and industry as part of the funded Air Mobility Integration U-Space (AMIUS) research project led by Airbus Defense and Space. The research project is concerned with the development of a real laboratory to demonstrate the operation of air cabs and drones in urban space. UniBw M's tasks under this project include exploring solutions for secure cloud-based data storage during operation and over the lifecycle, while ensuring secure communications in the mobile/dynamic environment. The tasks will also be specifically coordinated with the partners involved as part of the collaboration.

Nowadays, digitization is all around us and is moving further and further into a wide variety of areas (including transportation, smart home, eHealth and knowledge transfer). Due to the enormous data exchange, the question arises whether the available resources (bandwidth, data formats, radio standards) are still adequate. This is particularly questionable in the field of aviation, where a lot of data has to be produced, evaluated and distributed in a very short time, and this data is usually very sensitive, sometimes involving critical actions. In the case of safety- related actions protection from unauthorized access, misuse, and manipulation is absolutely essential. Various statistics show that the systems used in aviation are very interesting for cyber-attacks and the collected or exchanged data are mostly inadequately secured.

Thus, YOU are needed to inverstigate secure communication in aeronautic! Not yet convinced, check out the following publications from us:
