Quantum sensors, with their potentially superior resolution and sensitivity, could play a revolutionary role in security technology. The SCA-QS research project is initially focussing on identifying and researching the fundamental suitability of quantum sensor technology for side-channel attacks and then further developing promising approaches where necessary.

"With this forward-looking research," says project manager Dr Roman Bansen, Head of Quantum Technologies in the Cyberagentur's Key Technologies department, "the SCA-QS project is positioning itself at the forefront of technological development and could provide significant impetus in the field of microchip security."

The project also promotes the networking of scientists from the fields of quantum sensor technology and side-channel attacks in order to enable long-term exchange and collaboration and actively shape the future of microchip security. The targeted technology readiness level (TRL) ranges from 3 to 4.

Potential contractors in the field of research and innovation from universities, colleges, industry or start-ups are being sought for this innovative project. At the virtual information and partnering event on 10 June 2024, the project team will provide information about the planned project and the upcoming research questions. The potential contractors will have the opportunity to present their expertise and gain partners for the formation of consortia to apply for the research project. This is also a first step towards networking the expert community.

Interested participants can register for the online event on 10 June at https://www.cyberagentur.de/sca-qs-en/.

Background: Cyberagentur

The Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH (Cyberagentur) was founded by the Federal Government in 2020 as a fully in-house company of the Federal Government under the joint leadership of the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Homeland with the aim of taking a cross-departmental view of internal and external security in the field of cybersecurity with a focus on application strategy. Against this background, the work of the Cyberagentur is primarily aimed at the institutionalised implementation of highly innovative projects that are associated with a high risk with regard to the achievement of objectives, but at the same time can have a very high potential for disruption if successful.

The Cyberagentur is part of the National Security Strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Cyberagentur is headed by Prof Dr Christian Hummert as Research Director and Managing Director and Daniel Mayer as Commercial Director.
