ATHENE researchers publish their work in the journal IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society
ATHENE researchers at TU Darmstadt are working on a privacy-friendly approach for state actors to compare exploit inventories without disclosing national secrets. This approach can be used to enhance cybersecurity for civilians, as known exploits that are identified by multiple states can be released for remediation. The method provides a practical solution to cyber arms control. The research was published in the IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society journal and was awarded the 2022 CROSSING Collaboration Award.
