Cybersecurity and Data Law

At the Passau Institute of Digital Security (PIDS) and the Institute for the Law of the Digital Society, academics conduct interdisciplinary research on IT security and data protection. Here, we introduce members, research motivation and selected topics.

The conference “Vectors of Data Disclosure” at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities underlined the necessity of an interdisciplinary analysis of the personal disclosure decision – and gave the project team much food for thought.

How secure is Open RAN architecture for future mobile networks? IT security experts from the University of Passau and the Fraunhofer Institute HHI addressed this question in a study conducted within the framework of the research cluster "6G-RIC".
