The European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC SPRIDE) was a competence center funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The successor project is ATHENE, the National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity. EC SPRIDE understood security and data protection as requirements that must already be taken into account in the design of IT-based systems and observed over the complete life cycle of systems.

Networked Infrastructureless Cooperation for Emergency Response (NICER) was a LOEWE priority program funded by the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts (HMWK). NICER researched how infrastructureless information and communication technology can network people in the event of a crisis and thus enable cooperation to manage the crisis.

The LOEWE focus area Software Factory 4.0 (SF4.0) is a 4-year project funded by the German State of Hesse. SF4.0 is concerned with the adaptation of legacy software due to changed requirements and technical advances. The project strives to achieve this adaptation in an automated fashion. The main focus is on three topics: more flexible software systems in the context of the application area “Industrie 4.0”, the parallelization of existing software in the context of “High Performance Computing” (HPC), and simplification of the re-engineering in both areas.

IUNO, the National Reference Project on IT Security in Industry 4.0, was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and brought together 21 partners from industry and research. In IUNO, threats and risks for the smart factory were identified, protective measures developed and implemented as examples in four use cases. The aim was to develop solutions for IT security challenges in the industrial application field that could be used as generally as possible, in order to make them available to companies. The tested and transferable IT security solutions were then compiled in a toolbox and can be used as a “blueprint” for secure Industry 4.0. Small and medium-sized companies in particular, which have so far decided against digitizing production due to incalculable economic risks, can thus use the opportunities of the digital transformation for themselves.

This Priority Programme assumed that a paradigm shift in IT-security is necessary in order to reliably guarantee the security of complex software systems. The current trust-based and mechanism-centric approaches to IT-security were to be complemented by property-oriented solutions. This paradigm shift was to enable a trustworthy certification of system-wide, technical security guarantees that adequately respects the semantics of programs and of security requirements. Bridging the gap from security in-the-small to security in-the-large involved the improvement of conceptual foundations, the development of analysis and engineering tools, and their migration into practice. Collaborations between multiple sub-disciplines of Computer Science, primarily formal methods, IT-security, and programming languages, were necessary to achieve the objectives of the programme.
