The Team

Cyberus Technology GmbH (Cyberus for short) is a software development company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Dresden. Cyberus' core competence lies in the development of hardware-related system software, which was demonstrated with the discovery of the Meltdown and Spectre processor security vulnerabilities. Cyberus has already developed a virtualization solution that is used to isolate virtual workstations in the government environment. Together with project partners, a digitally sovereign cloud solution is currently being developed as a further area of application for the virtualization solution, which will represent a secure alternative to conventional cloud providers.

D3TN GmbH (D3TN for short) specializes in the development and application of communication technologies for challenging environments. Founded in 2015 under the name “FUSE”, the company was renamed “D3TN” in 2018 to reflect its extensive expertise in the field of delay- and disruption-tolerant networking (DTN). D3TN has implemented several relevant projects - also in cooperation with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In particular, D3TN has made a name for itself in the specialist field by conducting several field tests. The world's first test of an implementation of Bundle Protocol Version 7 on a low-earth orbit satellite is particularly noteworthy. D3TN also has extensive expertise in the field of cloud and cloud-native systems and supports its customers in the development of secure cloud solutions.

The Chair of Distributed and Networked Systems at Technische Universität Dresden (Netd for short) conducts research into scalable, reliable and secure communication systems in wireless and wired networks as well as secure cloud infrastructures. The chair has extensive experience in transferring research results into open source software, e.g. with RIOT, an operating system for the Internet of Things. The research results have multiple practical applications and contribute to improving Internet-based communication and information processing. Among other things, contributions have been made to infrastructure solutions with BSI approval recommendations based on OpenStack, which can be used both in traditional data centers and in edge computing nodes. There was also work on trusted enclaves that enable the secure and data protection-compliant processing of data in public cloud infrastructures and the extraction and secure central aggregation of audit information and log data from OpenStack (SAB Cloud-KRITIS project).
