Together with other KIT institutes, the Institute of Telematics is part of the Open6GHub project, which is funded by the BMBF with 66.8 million Euros over four years. The project focuses on application areas with very high demands on the quality and security of communication technology, including highly networked production, future mobility scenarios, new learning worlds, personalized medicine, and, above all, human interaction with a large number of autonomous vehicles and devices. The focus is on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to increase the efficiency of communication networks and the support of mobile AI-based services. Further aspects are the resilience of communication networks against internal and external disturbances (network resilience), the protection of private data as well as the automated support of changing network topologies. In the context of programmable network infrastructures, the Institute for Telematics contributes to scalable, adaptive, and highly dynamic connectivity of the 6G core network.

Noch bis zum 28. August 2022 ist im ZKM in Karlsruhe der unter Beteiligung des Instituts für Telematik entwickelter Demonstrator PrEyeCo als Teil der Digiloglounge N°2 ausgestellt. Entwickelt wurde er zusammen mit dem Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik und Marketing (IISM) des KITs. Anhand eines Spieles demonstriert er die Nutzung von Eye-Tracking-Technologie um kooperativ über das Internet eine Aufgabe zu lösen. Da es sich bei den Bewegungsmustern der Augen allerdings um persönliche Daten handelt, wurden mehrere Maßnahmen ergriffen um diese Daten zu verschleiern und somit die Privatsphäre der Nutzer zu schützen.
Das BMBF-Projekt Künstliche Intelligenz für sichere Web-Infrastrukturen mit digitalem Identitätsmanagement (KIWI) ist am 1. Juni 2020 erfolgreich mit einem gemeinsamen Kick-Off-Meeting gestartet.
Wir widmen uns in KIWI dem Einsatz föderierter KI-Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Sicherheit in Kommunikationsnetzen von Identitätsmanagement-Systemen. Zusammen mit unseren Projektpartnern erforschen wir die Domänen-übergreifende Zusammenführung sicherheitsrelevanter Ereignisse, um präzise und zeitnah auf neue Bedrohungen reagieren zu können.
Absolventen mit Interesse an KI-basierter Netzsicherheit können sich gerne bei uns auf Promotionsstellen im Projekt KIWI bewerben.

Nähere InformationenAuf der international führenden Konferenz SIGCOMM 2016 stellte Dr. Roland Bless den Beitrag "Values and Networks: Steps Toward Exploring their Relationships" im Rahmen der "Best of CCR"-Session vor. Der Artikel wurde zunächst bei der Zeitschrift "ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review" als Editorial Note eingereicht und im April 2016 dort veröffentlicht. Später erhielten die Autoren Carsten Orwat (KIT / ITAS) und Roland Bless die Benachrichtigung, dass der Beitrag als einer der beiden besten Artikel des letzen Jahres der Zeitschrift CCR ausgewählt wurde und bei der Konferenz SIGCOMM 2016 vorgestellt werden sollte. Der Artikel behandelt interdisziplinäre Fragestellungen, die auf den Institutionencharakter des Internets abzielen, d.h. das Internet ermöglicht, regelt und beschränkt zwischenmenschliche Interaktionen gleichermaßen und hat damit auch Auswirkungen auf gesellschaftliche Werte (u.a. Menschenrechte) bzw. deren Umsetzung. Es gibt jedoch noch viele offene Fragestellungen im Bereich der Gestaltungsoptionen: sollen bestimmte technische Maßnahmen für eine Umsetzung bestimmter Werte sorgen (Operationalisierung) oder gibt es andere institutionelle Arrangements (z.B. Regulierungsbehörden oder freie Märkte), die das ggf. mit technischer Unterstützung auf andere Weise gewährleisten können?
