Washing machine, smoke detector, burglar alarm and refrigerator - all of those and many appliances more could in future be connected to the Internet. To ensure that the connected home does not turn into a security hazard, IT researchers at the Horst Görtz Institute at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have developed new protection technologies for the "Internet of Things", which they are now getting ready for the market. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy backs the start-up idea "PHYSEC" with approx. 650,000 euros under the umbrella of the programme "EXIST research transfer".
