Powerful collaborations, cutting-edge science, and curious minds coming together for a glimpse of the future.

Stay tuned as we look at the latest updates on some of the most promising technology projects.

Hello and welcome.

I'm Peter Ballant from Technicon, and today we look at the CERTMills project.

This EU-funded effort is researching ways of keeping complex systems safe and secure.

Think about trains or power grids.

Unfortunately, these systems consist of so many independent

components that certifying their integrity as a whole would become an unwieldy task.

Using the existing mills or multiple independent levels of security platform, cert mills

seeks to find ways of shortening, simplifying, and implementing new certification

methodologies with the ultimate goal of efficient security in cyberphysical systems across Europe.

Today we speak with Torsten Schultz from the University of Rostock and Sondro Rasha from TALIS.

Both gentlemen are project partners in SertMills.

They join us remotely from their home offices today.

Welcome, and I think the place to start is to understand this concept of multiple independent levels of security.

Tell us, Torsen, what is that all about?

So, Ms. it's, even though it's not supposed to be the abbreviation anymore,

it's like the lettering together of multiple independent levels of security.

So that's where it started out of.

So maybe coming from different perspectives, nowadays, like networks are always like in larger company networks, you divide them up in zones in different places where you have different abilities or maybe different services.

So separating up a computer system into different kind of zones onto compartments or maybe

partitions or domains is really important to separate the security of such a system because once
