At the CampuSens closing event in Erlangen, Germany, which took place from March 23 to 24, 2026, our researchers Dr.-Stefan Köpsell from the Trustworthy Data Processing research group and Jana Eisoldt presented two demos:
The first demo – Trustworthy Execution of O-RAN xApps on a Microkernel – shows how specialized applications in 5G networks can be operated securely and reliably. It uses a system design with a microkernel to isolate different components from each other and thus increase security. It also reduces the risk of errors or malfunctions.
The second demo – Post Quantum Secure Remote Control of AGVs – illustrates how post-quantum security can be integrated into the control of autonomous vehicles in a smart factory environment. It also includes a digital model of the system (a “digital twin”). This work was developed jointly with Umbrella, secunet and Infineon IFAG.
Stefan Köpsell gave a keynote speech entitled “Future Directions in Cyber Security Research Funding”, in which he presented a critical perspective on current developments in the field of artificial intelligence from a security perspective.
In addition, he presented the recently launched ResMedTec project. This project is being carried out by BI in collaboration with Medical Valley, ICCAS, Vodafone, Scontain, secunet and FAU. It aims to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures and improve the availability of IT/OT systems.
We would like to thank all our cooperation partners who have supported us over the past four years as part of CampuSens:
Creonic GmbH (CRE), Nokia Solutions and Networks GmbH & Co. KG (NOK), secunet Security Networks AG (SEC), umbrella.associates GmbH (UMB), Vodafone Group Services GmbH (VOD), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU).
