Research for Civil Security

An Inventory: Research Landscape and Contacts
PREFACE
Preface
Security risks have changed: Even minor disturbances can lead to failure of entire supply networks, however robust the technical systems used. Threats are spreading more easily due to global mobility. Natural disasters and technical incidents can produce major damage in our closely networked world. And nally we may have to face criminal or terrorist attacks of unforeseeable dimensions. More than ever before, we need research to protect ourselves against the hazards of terrorism, crime and natural disasters. In January 2007, the German Federal Government adopted its Research for Civil Security Programme. This new programme focuses on improving the protection and security of the population. Intensive research in the eld of forward-looking basic technologies provides a good basis for achieving this goal.
Todays security research in Germany is still highly fragmented. Researchers dealing with security-relevant problems are often not linked with each other in an optimal way, nor are they properly networked with suppliers or users. This brochure takes stock of the security research sector. As a research handbook, it provides an overview of current security-related research activities including the players involved.
Dr. Annette Schavan, Member of the German Parliament Federal Minister of Education and Research

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
In January 2007, the German federal government concluded the Forschung fr die zivile Sicherheit (research for civil security) programme. The federal ministry of education and research (BMBF) is providing funds to the sum of EUR 123 million for this over the next four years up to and including 2010. The security programme tackles this decit for the rst time, by creating a framework in which industry, research facilities and universities can work together perspectively with authorities, security and the operators of critical infrastructures. The European Union too is promoting civil security research for the rst time, in its 7th framework programme for research (runtime from 2007 to 2013). Approx. EUR 200 million annually is set aside for this. In order that the European and German security research programmes can develop successfully, the security research protagonists across all contributing disciplines must be mobilised and more closely networked. The present brochure Forschung fr die zivile Sicherheit Eine Bestandsaufnahme: Forschungslandschaft und Ansprechpartner (Research for Civil Security An Inventory: Research Landscape and Contacts) aims to contribute to this. The brochure produced by VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH, provides a summary of the civil security research in Germany. It thereby provides the rst overview of the potential contributors to security research in Germany from industrial companies and scientic facilities. The core element of the study is a survey on security research in Germany, which has been carried out in conjunction with the Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis (FhG-INT). The results of the survey are depicted from page 6. Proles and contacts from the institutions that took part in the survey are printed from page 10. This information is supplemented by descriptions of the promotional opportunities within the framework of the security research programme in Germany, a list of other activities by the German federal government with respect to security research and existing initiatives of the federal states. The aim of the present study is primarily to act as a sort of handbook for anyone who is looking for a contact or co-operation partner with specic expertise or who wishes to nd out about promotional opportunities. In so doing, it is only able to provide a snapshot and does not claim to be complete. In order to provide current and further support for the ideas of the networking in the future, the internet platform www.securityresearchmap.de is being set up. On this platform, which is due to be launched in the third quarter of 2007, it will be possible to search for protagonists by various criteria, e.g. activities in the area of human sciences, forensic technologies, or even in the full text of the proles.
The programme and other documents are available at www.sicherheitsforschungsprogramm.de. Information regarding the promotion is given in the form of an extract in chapter on the security research Programme. In the preparation of the programme, it became clear that researchers and scientists in the area of security-related topics are not optimally networked either with each other or with the suppliers of security solutions and the users and operators with responsibility for security. The research landscape is fragmented. There is no overview of those who work on security-related topics in research and science. The majority of protagonists working in the area of security (authorities, infrastructure operators, security and rescue workers, providers of technical security solutions, researchers) currently have no common platform enabling the nationwide, systematic and co-ordinated approach to questions concerning future threats and possible solutions.

SECURITY RESEARCH SURVEY
Inventory: Security Research Survey

Survey Methodology
For the survey on the status quo of security research in Germany, letters were written to approx. 1200 institutions and people from science, industry and associations. The addresses were compiled in the extensive agenda process of preparing the security research programme (cf. description of the agenda process in Forschung fr die zivile Sicherheit: Programm der Bundesregierung research for civil security: programme of the federal government) and added to through a systematic analysis of trade fairs and conferences. It is not a representative survey in the statistical sense. Neither does it claim to be complete. The information from the survey participants was taken into consideration even where it was incomplete. Each of the customised questionnaires for companies, scientic facilities and associations asked about activities in the area of civil security research. Among other things, questions were included on commitment in publicly promoted projects in Germany and on an international level. There were also questions on the number of employees and the overall turnover / budget for security research. The questionnaires are shown in the appendix. The survey participants were given the opportunity to describe their competences, products and projects. These proles (own details, subject to editing) are published in the research landscape and contacts chapter. Here, interested parties are able to gain an overview and nd co-operation partners.
Analysis and Interpretation of the Results

A total of 206 institutions took part in the survey. This is equivalent to a response rate of 17.4 %. Of the participating institutions, 53 % were scientic facilities, 43 % were companies and 4 % were associations. From the feedback, the conclusion can be drawn that most of the industrial companies are not operating exclusively in the security sector. These companies develop and market security solutions on the basis of their core competences, e.g. such as sensor technology, electronics, communication technology or even nanotechnology. The range of scientic institutes that took part in the survey clearly reects the interdisciplinarity of security research. The spectrum extends from physics, chemistry, optics, sensor technology, electronics, information technology, materials sciences and aerospace, through biology and medicine, to gender research, peace and conict research, the economic sciences, and arts and social sciences. From the responses, it may be concluded that, in certain cases, the term security research has been understood more broadly than in the research programme for civil security and that a clear distinction has possibly not always been made between civil and defence related security research.
Division of the participating organisations into companies, science and associations.
In total, the participating organisations have approx. 800,000 employees around the world. Of these, approx. 3850 people work in the area of security-related research. The total annual turnover in 2005 of companies who took part in the survey was approx. EUR 85,000 million. In 2005, these companies invested approx. EUR 300 million in security-related research. The total budget of the research institutes for 2005 was EUR 520 million, of which approx. EUR 53 million was available for security-related research. As such, together, the organisations that took part in the survey invested over EUR 350 million in security-related research in 2005. The survey participants were asked in which areas (protection against terrorism and crime, damage management, cause study, security of infrastructures) they would be able to contribue to R&D (it was possible to specify several areas). There is a particular focus on the areas of protection against terrorism and crime and security of critical infrastructures. In this, the area of cause study is of a strongly academic nature. Industrial companies are more committed in the area of security of critical infrastructures, which stands out for its demand for security products.
Among research institutes and major enterprises, which are already participating in publicly promoted R&D projects, it is notable that there is high participation in European R&D projects. With the exception of the preparatory measures for the European security research programme (Preparatory Action for Security Research, PASR), there were no previous research programmes for civil security either in Germany or on a European level. However, previous research programmes (e.g. on information and communication technology) did cover partial aspects related to security. As such, it may nonetheless be concluded for these partial areas that cultivated, cross-border co-operation relationships do exist. Here, the majority of European project partners from universities and research centers come from Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Sweden. The USA is also frequently named as a co-operation partner. In the case of the extra-European research projects, it is primarily the major enterprises that play a signicant role. The analysis also shows that the involvement of SMEs is more rare, particularly in EU projects. 75 % of the companies sell their products internationally. Here, the USA, Switzerland, Austria, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands were specied as the largest export markets.
Areas in which the institutions that took part in the survey are able to contribute to R&D.
In conclusion, it may be stated that the initial situation in Germany is promising. The companies and institutes with activities in security research are, as a rule, additionally, and often predominantly, also active in other elds of innovation. The considerable total research budget of these companies demonstrates a high level of innovation. However, the agenda process for preparation of the programme has clearly highlighted the heterogeneity of
the research landscape and the poorly cultivated co-operation relationships among the various contributing research disciplines. If synergies are to be developed in security research among the contributing elds of innovation and research disciplines, there is a considerable requirement to support the networking of the emerging specialist eld and thus to pool the existing competences.
Participation of the organisations involved in publicly sponsored R&D projects, in national, European and extra-European R&D projects.

The EU is extremely interested in the ContainerProbe idea within the framework of the PASR programme (Preparatory Action for Security Research). However, it will not be formaly proposed for sponsorship if there are no private investors. ContainerProbe will enable the examination of all shipping containers in the air and in movement on straddlers. Suspicious containers will then be forwarded to the port for intensive checks. This procedure would meet the requirements of the Safe Ports Act 2006, which requires all containers being sent to the US to be screened.
prole:
NSD-Fusion is a small start-up company that has developed an improved type of neutron generator. The service life of the device is ten times longer and it is ten times more productive than com-peting devices of a similar price. Neutrons are used for the non-destructive measurement of elementary composition. For safety applications, this enables the detection or conrmation of explosive materials, the detection of ssionable core materials (dirty bombs), and other anomalies in the composition of materials. The companys customers include safety system developers and suppliers. The NSD neutron generator enables more costeffective, safer systems. The electric device can replace radioactive neutron sources. New methods are providing additional technical opportu-nities for improved detection and measurement systems.

The SECUTAG security tagging system is used for ghting product piracy, defence against unjustied product liability claims, registering sales channels (re-imports, parallel imports), document security. SECUTAG is also used for reliable on-site identication of products of all kinds including liquid, soft, hard, pasty, powdery products, and can even be used for simple tagging of animals and plants. SECUTAG is extremely secure and therefore also accepted as crucial evidence by courts at home and abroad. The use of SECUTAG can be announced and used in advertising without running the risk of it being copied; this has various advantages:
1. Image enhancement: consumers have a positive opinion of companies that ght against product piracy. 2. Sales argument: customers can check for themselves that the products are genuine (Internet trading, Ebay, etc.) 3. Barrier preventing forgeries, indicating the detection risk for forged products. 4. Monitoring product security systems: to be truly efcient, every security system must be monitored on the market.

ly in front of each other. Similarly, it is now also possible to identify objects lying on the oor instead of just seeing a dark space. Furthermore, the networking technique also means that the cameras automatically help each other as soon as any one camera is concealed by persons or objects. This new generation of video analysis offers greater precision than ever before, particularly in crowds and in poor weather or visibility conditions.
Vis--pix has specialized in intelligent 3D video analysis. In contrast to conventional 2D solutions, the Vis--pix products analyze rooms and situations and not just pictures. This gives security managers the possibility of detecting individual persons, the speed with which they are moving and the direction in which they are going, in loose crowd situations. But the Vis--pix software goes another crucial step further, visualizing persons and their movements as moving points in an outline drawing. At the same time, the 3D solutions register unwanted happenings or suspicious behaviour, such as grafti, breach of access regulations or also emerging queues. The 3D analysis is based on networked CCTV cameras which use the Vis--pix software and differing alignments to project a 3D picture. It is thus possible to detect several persons even if the camera sees them standing immediateThe Vis--pix People Counter analyzes video streams and automatically detects how many people they contain. The Vehicle Detector automatically detects vehicles and their registration plates from video streams and stores the data in a database. This allows for easy access controls and trafc ow analysis with a minimum of technical workload. The Vis--pix Intrusion Detector differentiates between permitted and prohibited behaviour in security zones. It analyzes video streams in real time for the behaviour of persons, vehicles and objects in predened areas.

Our research activities into robotic air ships are focussed on the development of a ground-based all-purpose support system for sensor technology with various application options. The aim is easy applicability of the support system with autonomous air control by means of attached computer system. For independent navigation, the airship has numerous and redundant sensor systems to log positions (acceleration measurements, rate of rotation measurements, magnetometer, GPS) and can be tted out with the special sensor technology as desired to the limit of the existing load. A prototype of about 8 metres in length currently has an additional load capacity of about 10kg. The use of small air ships in the security technology eld as a support system in various situations is conceivable. In the object surveillance eld, camera-based solutions are at the forefront, while, for example, when used in catastrophes laser mapping or infrared detection make quick rescue measures possible. Safe mine detection is also possible with the availability of appropriate chemical sensors. Our current work is geared towards the development of a simple remote-controlled support system, in which geo data recording is currently the main focus.

General: The Fraunhofer Institut fr Bauphysik IBP (Institute for Building Physics) deals with research, development, inspection, demonstration and consultancy in the building physics eld. This includes protection against noise and sonic protective measures in buildings, the optimisation of the acoustics in auditoriums, energy saving measures, light technology, room climate issues, hygiene, health protection and building material emissions as well as aspects of heat, humidity and atmospheric conditions protection, upkeep of building substance and preservation of monuments and historic buildings. Main focuses in security research: Existing processes for detection of trace gases (e.g. Tuneable Diode Laser Spectroscopy (TDLAS), Differential Optical Spectroscopy (DOAS), Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF), etc.) cover a range of areas of application in research and practical appli-
cation. However, none of the known processes full the desired combination of requirements: selectivity, sensibility and speed of detection with reduced technical investment and at low costs. This optimum combination is denitely necessary for the areas of application air chemical research, recording of particle emission (suspended matter, carbon black) in environmental protection and for the detection of hazardous substances on the basis of trace gas evaporation in security technology. The utilisation of photoacoustic effects provides the opportunity to ll in these gaps. Furthermore, acoustic processes serve the active positioning and localisation of objects in the ground, buildings, and open air.

OMIB - Online Monitoring and Identication of Bioaerosoles: the cooperative project created a complete technology for fullyautomatic absorption of airborne particles, which are classied in advance and the microorganisms which are isolated this way are accurately identied by means of raman spectrometry. At the IPHT, new kinds of miniaturised raman spectral sensors were created for the project. THz-Videocam: the IPHT applied for a joint project with the acronym Thz-Videocam with partners Karlsruhe university and DLR. The aim of the planned cooperative project is to develop and test a passive THz video camera. This video camera is able to create images of moving objects in the terahertz spectral range without additional lighting. With real-time cameras, concealed objects can be recorded at greater distances (approx. 10m).

The Europische Institut fr Systemsicherheit (E.I.S.S.) (European Institute for System Security), founded in 1988, is one of the oldest institutes for IT security in the academic eld in Germany. The E.I.S.S. is heavily nanced by third party funds, is linked to more than 20 companies and furthermore was active in an advisory capacity for the home ofce of Baden-Wrttemberg state and the German Bundestag (lower house of German parliament). The aim of the E.I.S.S. is security in information technology applications which are becoming increasingly more complex. At the same time, the most important task is the drafting of security protocols, from the abstract description to the realisation of a prototype. For this, current and potential threats must be identied and formal models and mathematical evidence must support the entire planning process. Signicant accomplishments of the
E.I.S.S. include the rst realised chip-card access protection to a computer network and one of the rst public key infrastructures as well as very advanced implementation of a rewall. These technologies have now become standard. Current results include the rst formal security model, which supports a modular design and considers threats such as extortion or protocol termination, the design of special hardware to abort the RSA method as well as a method which makes digital signatures more secure with the use of camera mobiles. The vision of the E.I.S.S. is applications which in spite of the increasing threat for modern IT systems and infrastructures, can be used in a harmless way.

At this point, we would like to just mention the electronic documents from the federal printing ofce, which are not only available to German nationals, or the Tsunami warning system from the GFZ Potsdam. A study, which was recently performed in summer 2006, identied more than 150 companies and 10 research facilities in and around the capital that generate approx. EUR 1.3 billion with security solutions every year. The companies in this sector employ more than 5,000 workers (not including the agencies that supply security personnel). The many small companies do not just rely on themselves, but create networks and marketing alliances. This development was initiated in 2002 as a result of the preparations for a business-oriented technology initiative Security with IT by the responsible Senate Ofce for the Economy. This technology initiative is a part of the state initiative Project Future (started in 1997), which has set itself the objective of developing the strategic control system for the structural change within an information and knowledge-based society. More than 750 institutions, organisations and people from the worlds of business, politics, science and administration have joined forces here for the city. They work hand in hand with the state of Brandenburg via the ministries and institutions - similar to the approach of the technology initiative for security. It was ofcially started in 2003
Security research in Berlin

The issue of security is essential for the German capital city. The concentration of central political functions, such as the government and parliament headquarters, and also other important democratic organisations, such as the headquarters of the political parties and interest groups, or media and cultural centres of national import in Berlin represent an ever growing challenge to the state and national security authorities. And the planned relocation of further institutions will only enhance the role of the capital. However Berlin is not just a buyer of security solutions, there is a broad portfolio of security solutions available within the region ranging from research facilities through to production and

Consolidation and extension of the value-creation in the IT security sector in Berlin and Brandenburg 3. Raising the prole of the security location Berlin-Brandenburg and raising the visibility of the development, production and innovation competence available in the region. In addition to the close links with the NEMO networks, such as Identsys, TuSec or Ne-Sis, the topics of building security, airport security and further and professional training courses on security management are being promoted. NEMO Network systems for integrated security monitoring (ne-sis), www.ne-sis.org, Dr. Wolfgang Rehak, fm-one GmbH In line with the motto Recognise-Record-Act, most of the medium-sized companies from the region have joined forces to develop solutions such as capabilities in the elds of security surveillance, detection and alerting for security authorities. NEMO Identication systems (IDENTSYS), www.identsys.de, Dr. Peter Apel, Technologiestiftung Berlin GmbH The NEMO network IDENTSYS stands for development and application of complex hardware and software solutions for - Recording biometric features, - Locating persons and navigation, - Computer-supported assessment and control of access and entry authorisations, - Software solutions for the identication and authentication of persons, - The creation of logistical and communicative security solutions. NEMO tunnel security (TuSec), Mr. Frieder-Jens Lange, OUT GmbH Trafc tunnels are sensitive bottlenecks and therefore particularly vulnerable to accidents and terror attacks. The associated risks for life and limb and subsequent damage also demand technical options for effective prevention and damage limitation. The TUSEC network partners examine and adapt state-of-the-art products and create new products as coactive modular parts of an integrally thought-out solution for placement in front of and in tunnels; they also look to merge, develop, test and distribute sub-components and whole components as new products. NEMO Mobile security systems (mo-sis), www.mo-sis.de, Ms. Katrin Mehner, TIMEKontor AG The MO-SIS network bundles expertise from the elds of security and safety, sensorics and mobile communications and thus provides the best mobile security solutions from one source. The focus is on self-organising, sturdy and energy-efcient sensors and ad-hoc networks which can be used anywhere anytime.
The activities were picked up by the companies and incorporated into the regional marketing initiative. It was also possible to integrate the activities that were run in parallel to IT security (TrustDay with the BMI). This resulted in further networks and the partnership with the science sector was further intensied. In 2005, the issue of security was declared a eld of action in the joint IT location strategy. This means it has assumed a special signicance in the state innovation strategy and promotion programmes. In particular, research work is performed at the six Fraunhofer group institutions, the DLR and the state institutions such as the Bundesanstalt fr Materialprfung (BAM) [State Institute for Material Testing], the Physikalisch-technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) [Physical-Technical State Institute], the Bundesinstitut fr Risikobewertung (BfR) [the State Institute for Risk Assessment] and the Deutschen Institut fr Bautechnik (DIBt) [German Institute for Building Technology]. Here, uniform state standards and norms, contributions to IT security or environmental security are developed. Also, the companies, which range from the state printing ofce and MSA Auer right up to and including lots of small companies, have their own R&D departments or groups. In several topic-specic networks, the companies are linked with each other and the science sector. New additions are the work groups for the topics of tunnel security, airport security and mobile security solutions. Please visit the website www.sicherheit-mit-it.de to view the general presentation of all these activities and networks. This makes Berlin and Brandenburg one of the leading regions of competence in the security sector.

The objectives here include the improvement of the coordination, cooperation and the communication when managing operations, and hazardous or crisis situations. In comparable general forecasts for the police, the re service and disaster units in the various EU member states, it is expected that the standardisation of series systems in emergency vehicles and in control rooms/operations centres with cost-effective solutions will not only result in savings in terms of personnel and resources but that, thanks to the networking of the systems, there will also be important optimisations with regard to the joint international management of operations.
Security research in Brandenburg

Project Interactive patrol car/emergency vehicle of the police, the re service and disaster units within the scope of the EUs RP 7 In addition to ghting terrorism, organised crime and the rise in international crime, coping with natural disasters and technical accidents such as oods, forest res or hazardous goods accidents is a core task of the police, the re service and disaster units. The focus here is on effective security and crisis management. Whilst the provision of technological individual components can assist in coping with threatening situations, the interoperability provided by system integration and the compatibility of system media is an important basis for generating sustained added security value. Within the scope of the EUs 7th framework programme for research and technological development by the EU (RP 7), the police department in the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Brandenburg intends to participate with a project in which the individual components of mobile information technologies are included as a technology system or based on a modular principle. The innovative focus lies in the availability of the needs-based module and the permanent option of integrating further components at any time (modular system). The plan is to make this technology system serviceable for the police, the re service and disaster units. An important aspect of the project is the research, development and testing of a systemic series standard for networked systems with the following components - Mobile end device for processing transactions and the use of tracing and information systems; including a multi-function device for printing, scanning, faxing and copying

One example is the project Container security that was sponsored by the Bremen senate. In this project, the existing infrastructures and core competences of the state in the elds of logistics, ports, telecommunications and space travel in the commercial and scientic elds are brought together in order to assume a pioneer role in Germany during the erection of a satellite and RFID-supported monitoring system for ship containers. With its local industry and scientic facilities, Bremen can cover the full range of the value chain. The objective of this project, which is nearly completed, is to prove the feasibility of a general system comprising hardware, software and processes. A further example of GMES competence within the state of Bremen consists of the activities relating to the monitoring of the marine environment in the German territorial and coastal waters and in the area of the coastal zones, and the improved coverage of the public and private need for trafc safety in the German shipping lanes and the coastal trafc zone. Bremen has clear location advantages in this eld and comprehensive commercial and scientic competence that needs to be further expanded. It is therefore only consistent and sensible if the project coordination for DeMARINE and the technical coordination for marine security is located in Bremen in future. The state of Bremen also promotes the development of the competences in Bremen relating to ight robotics, providing the budgeting authority gives its approval. These systems could also be used to improve security. Flight robots are particularly suited for civil use as observation platforms. Other possible tasks could include securing the borders and the coasts, monitoring gas and oil pipelines, large-scale maritime trafc surveillance, recording damage in case of disasters and also air-supported measuring of emissions.
Security research in Bremen

Security risks are diverse and complex. Hazards may come from natural catastrophes, technical accidents, technical or human errors, and terror-based or criminal intent. The security risks can have a signicant effect on the energy, goods, trafc, information and telecommunication networks as well as on the food supply and health services. It is not possible to react to the complex threats that have a variety of interdependent inuencing factors using the skills and expertise of individual research disciplines. On the contrary, interdisciplinary solutions need to be developed by industry and science to ensure security. A number of companies and scientic facilities in the state of Bremen have been looking at security research issues. The state funds projects that are located at the interface between the commercial and scientic worlds. Some of the projects can be directly classied as security research projects; other projects look at topics that could affect aspects of the security research eld. In addition, the state also has a good scientic and commercial infrastructure enabling it to make a signicant contribution to German security research.
Combined projects and competences at the interface between commerce and science
Bremens objective is to make a signicant contribution to Germanys role in the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme of the European Union (EU) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The state of Bremen has given the GMES a high priority in its commercial and scientic political strategy. Bremen is an excellent science location within the context of the GMES, for example in the elds of space exploration, atmosphere physics, polar and marine research, environmental research and technology, marine environmental sciences, astronautic system technology, and aerospace research. Also, Bremen is the home of the company OHB Technology AG and EADS Astrium making it one of the leading astronautic system locations in Germany and Europe. Furthermore, Bremen is also an important location for the seaport business and maritime logistics. These are elds that are supplemented by appropriate research capacities. At the moment, Bremen is currently working on designing relevant GMES technologies and services. Bremen invests in several pilot projects and a GMES Ofce Bremen to properly prepare the
Economic location
Bremen is extremely well equipped as a maritime location with 1767 maritime companies, 37,250 workers (2004) and a total turnover of EUR 8 billion (2003). 11 maritime value chains have been identied (ports, logistics, shipping, ship-building, boat-building, shing, tourism, recreation, renewable energies, marine research and hydrography, coastal engineering, marine technology and the navy). The security issue is particularly important for the ports and logistics, hydrography, coastal engineering and marine technology value chains. With regard to the commercial importance, the ports and shipping sectors, in particular a number of logistics companies, head the list of maritime commercial elds. Whilst the other sectors do not achieve this volume, they are still highly important thanks to their innovative and growth potential. As a seaport and airport city, Bremen is directly involved in the worldwide ow of goods and can therefore actively get to terms with the security risks associated with the international exchange of goods and has gathered expertise in this eld. The logistics branch is a traditional core area in the Bremen region.
85
The Bremen port and logistics economy currently employs around 85,000 workers in jobs connected to the logistics sector. Under the management of the senate for commerce and ports, a logistics competence centre is currently being established to reinforce existing potential and to encourage networking and additional capacities in all logistics-related functional areas. The issue of security is addressed in two of four work groups: Logistical systems and logistics know-how. The work groups will submit the rst results of their work in April 2007. Bremen has 14 high-performance supplier companies in the marine technology eld. The world market leader for military Remote Operating Vehicles (ROV) is located here in the region (Atlas Elektronik) and has just completed a large development project for a new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) that is also suitable for a number of civil applications. In the hydrography eld, the state has funded a feasibility study for an international training centre that it wants to realise step-by-step. Bremen is also the most important astronautic location in Germany thanks to its 1800 workers in 11 companies and EUR 0.4 billion turnover, and is therefore also involved in the European Unions Galileo plan and in the GMES activities on the issue of security. Around half the added value is generated by means of research and development. Bremen is one of 13 regions whose astronautic activities are interlinked with those of the EU within the scope of the combined project ERA Star that also includes the topic of security.
Scientic location
Civil security can only be achieved if technical systems can be used quickly, effectively, stably, simply and cost-effectively to cope with any disasters. For example, these systems may be based on methods from the research elds of micro-system technology, sensorics, communication, IT or logistics, sectors which are particularly strongly represented in the Bremen science landscape. The electro-technology and IT institute of FB1 at the University of Bremen are currently performing research, and have been doing so for some years, in elds that are highly relevant for security research. They are incorporated in various organisations and facilities in and at the university (e.g. MCB, EMB, IKOM, BCM), which means that a broad range of knowledge and know-how is available. But even technologies such as web services, mobile applications or RFID not only offer opportunities but also involve risks. The Technology Centre for Informatics (TZI) at the University of Bremen, for example, has been looking at these technologies and the associated risks as well as data protection and security requirements and appropriate solutions. The TZI looks at a number of different aspects of IT security. These include areas such as authorisation and identication management, safeguarding mobile applications, network security and modelling of secure systems by means of formal and semi-formal methods and also research relating to organisational controls which are necessary e.g. in the
professional eld when implementing business processes on IT systems, and digital authorisation management. In connection with security, the states competence in robotics is also relevant especially in the Bremen laboratory of the German Research Centre for Articial Intelligence (DFKI) and in electro-technology, information technology and informatics departments at the University of Bremen. In addition to the ight robotics project described at the beginning, there is also expertise available in the elds of security, surveillance and hazard detection and with regard to mobile, autonomous advanced surveillance systems. In addition to the commercial strengths in the maritime logistics eld, the research landscape of the state of Bremen also has competences e.g. in the eld of container trafc security within the Institute for Sea Trafc and Logistics (ISL). Primarily, this is aimed at minimising the risks posed by terrorism, smuggling, theft etc. along the container transport chain. The above-mentioned GMES pilot project of the state of Bremen is based on the topic of Container security. There are also other areas of competence with regard to the introduction of RFIDs in container terminals or chains. A further eld of competence is transport and incident management in the container rail trafc sector. Furthermore, there are also links relating to the objective of guaranteeing a high level of security in the core scientic area of material sciences of the state of Bremen. For example, metallic foams are developed here that can serve as passive protection for technical systems or nano-technological systems that can be used to degrade hazard substances. In addition to some other institutes in the state of Bremen, the following selected institutes (some connected to and some independent of colleges) have expertise in the eld of security research: DFKI Labor Bremen (DFKI Laboratory Bremen) - Safe and Secure Cognitive Systems Enrique-Schmidt-Strae 5 Universitt Bremen 28359 Bremen Email: sks@dfki.de Web: www.informatik.de.uni-bremen.de/DFKI-SKS Institut fr Seeverkehrswirtschaft und Logistik (ISL) (Institute for the Shipping Trade and Logistics) Universittsallee, GW 1, Block A 28359 Bremen Email: info@isl.org Web: www.isl.org Gauss mbH Werderstrae 73 28199 Bremen Web: www.gauss.org

Security research in Hamburg Disaster unit

Based on the objectives of the government programme 2004 2008, with the support of the Hamburg re service, Hamburgs elevated railway and the Harburg University of Technology and the University of Hamburg, the sections for public security and the disaster unit of the Internal Affairs Ofce (Ministry) have, to date, initiated two research projects within the framework of the goals of the EU-security research programme and/or the security components of the national High-Tech initiative. Research project: The spread of hazardous substances (only German research funding is sought) Improvement of crisis management in the city of Hamburg by developing a tool for optimising the planning and control of operations in the case of accidents involving pollutants. Objective: 1. Provision of a tool for (1) the planning and control of opera tions in the case of accidents involving chemicals, biological,
87
radiological, nuclear pollutants (CBRN), (2) risk analysis, e.g. at critical infrastructures, (3) optimum deployment of forces and resources in case of an operation and (4) the planning and control of effective evacuation measures 2. Promotion of the city of Hamburg as a location and the cooperation with developers and users in the future-oriented eld of security research based on a pilot project. Requirements of the following forces: the police, the re service and disaster units: The current debates about improving the way the threat of terrorism is handled and managing crises after terrorist attacks focus on the development of computer-supported tools for managing CBRN-damage situations as a central aspect of the development needs for the emergency services of the security and disaster unit authorities. As a city and an industrial location, Hamburg is a particularly interesting target for terrorist attacks and is also threatened by industrial risks caused by pollution in and around the city. The tool controls results calculated on the basis of simulations on the local emergency forces digital end devices without any delay during operations. These devices are easy to operate and help the emergency services to make decisions; in turn this represents an enormous qualitative improvement when planning and controlling operations. Research project Video (German and European research funding sought) Objective: Protection of critical infrastructures against security-relevant hazards thanks to innovative systemic approaches.
Course of action: The city of Hamburg, the HOCHBAHN and Hamburg-Consult are planning to work together with other partners to initiate joint research projects on the subject of protecting critical infrastructures. The projects will be marked by the innovative integration of systemic solutions. Based on the example of the public transport system, technical isolated applications will be connected to each other and linked to the human factor. The overall concept comprises six components: 1. Status monitoring / detection of changes to the automatic ndings e.g. vandalism. 2. Mobile recording of the situation by integrating existing video recordings with the operation teams mobile end devices. 3. Video-supported tracing of suspects by means of a combination of status monitoring with mobile recording of the situation as a prerequisite for timely pursuit of suspects. 4. Recommendations for trafc companies to develop practical packages of measures for everyday and highly criminal security risks in small, medium and large trafc companies. 5. Sensitisation, assessment and handling training courses on security measures in trafc companies for training the operating personnel who have contact with customers. 6. Certication of security standards for trafc companies as operators of critical infrastructures analogue to existing minimum safety requirements.

Project name Measurement control components
Brief description The goal of the project is a measuring-control component that is optimally adapted to the strategic operational concept and which is capable of guiding several exploration vehicles in the case of serious damage or a hazardous situation. Also, the scientic coordination team should ensure that steps are taken to examine if it is technically possible in the future to quickly ward off hazards and allow hazard-free exploration of serious damage, and to propose detailed operation scenarios. The project aims to continue the pilot project of the biological task force Berlin. The integration of Berlin in the Task Forces for Chemical Analysis pilot project will allow an alternative approach in Berlin with the setting up of an ABC-task force.

An explosive layer cannot be detected by the standard tracing systems but its explosive power is enough to bring down an aeroplane. Against this background and other threatening scenarios, the consortium that was established for the Millidevo project has set itself the goal of bundling its expertise and competences in order to come up with a new type of person surveillance system which not only detects metal through clothing, but also enables packages of solid and liquid explosives to be detected and visualised. Furthermore, metallic and non-metallic weapons and drugs can also be detected. The objective of the project also includes a second step which comprises mobile systems that have a broad range of detection possibilities. The sophisticated technical specications demand project partners with outstanding know-how in specialised domains that have joined a consortium after agreeing on the project steps. Consortium The consortium that was established for the Millidevo project is made up of selected project partners who bundle all their competences thereby creating synergy effects that securely cover all elds and which are a prerequisite for the development of an efcient person scanner and future-oriented further developments of the detection technology. The tasks were assigned as follows:

Project MILLIDEVO Contactless detection of hidden objects worn by persons by means of microwaves and millimetre waves Introduction/starting situation Within the scope of efforts to ensure inner security and deal with a variety of threatening scenarios, e.g. international terrorism and other serious forms of crime, it will become increasingly necessary in future to fall back on innovative detection techniques. Modern detection methods in risk management will take on a key role in light of the existence and availability of weapons and dangerous substances, but also in the face of the complexity of a globalised society that has a number of neuralgic points. This particularly applies to air and sea trafc, the protection of travellers, large events and sports events and anywhere else where persons and objects need to be moved in sensitive areas. Detection technologies can also play an important role in providing extensive protection for personal property and critical infrastructures.

Task / objective and technical signicance The objective of the project is to rst develop a demonstrator of a security portal that consistently manages to detect dangerous or forbidden objects hidden on persons from a distance of several metres. It is based on a combination of a visualising active, polarimetric-based microwave or millimetre-wave system and an integrated sensor array, which is capable of recording, analysing and identifying traces of explosives and drugs in a ne dispersed or steam form. In the visualising part of the system, use is made of the fact that microwaves are able to penetrate more or less freely through clothing and are dispersed and reected on hidden objects such as weapons, packages of explosives or drugs in a different way to on human skin. This then allows the suspicious objects to be recognised in a three-dimensional form based on the contrast and shape. As the visualising part of the system is only partially suitable for analysing and identifying the substances, it also needs substance-specic sensors which are not capable of visualising. These use procedures, such as ion-mobility spectrometry (IMS), and other suitable substance-specic methods, such as the MIP method (Molecular Imprinted Polymers). Thanks to the combination of these different procedures, a wide range of dangerous and forbidden substances can be covered and can also be expanded as required by means of further developments. There is a high degree of certainty that suspicious persons can be recognised and isolated. If, during the course of appropriate follow-up measures, the suspicion can be conrmed, these persons can be disarmed. The demonstrator aims to show the potential of this approach and to specify optimised realisation paths for realising the technical ideas. It should then be developed into a future-oriented and marketable system that will be used both in civil and military applications (dual use). This also includes the development of a mobile system that can be used universally.
Courses of action and possible solutions A system is developed in which a sender array radiates microwaves and/or millimetre-waves toward the object and a receiver array receives the reected and dispersed waves in a coherent manner. Using software algorithms, the object is three-dimensionally reconstructed and the synthetic aperture ensures that the spatial resolution is much improved. During this process, information in the various frequency ranges should be used. The images gained by the use of differently polarised waves are superposed to further improve the separability of the objects and therefore the relevance of the reconstruction. An object-oriented feature algorithm, similar to a polarisation lter, is applied to this data set in order to be able to locate, segment, separate and identify suspicious objects under the clothing by means of the contrast and shape. Also, a visualisation tool will be developed that allows an interactive, three-dimensional presentation of the data set and the recognised objects. Substance-specic miniaturised gas and particle sensors are integrated in the sender and receiver arrays. The air surrounding a person is sucked in, the suspicious substances concentrated and analysed in the sensors. Processing the microwave data includes the three-dimensional reconstruction, separation and identication of the objects. When the image and analysis data is merged using pattern recognition and/or neuronal networks, suspicious objects and substances are recognised to a high level of detection certainty and then classied according to their hazard potential. If data needs to be stored for optimising the classication procedure and exchanged with background systems, this is performed in compliance with the data protection laws. The alarm procedures are constellation-controlled and initiate appropriate escalation measures. One high priority is keeping the false alarm rate as low as possible (false positives and false negatives). The control procedure is optimised to just a few seconds, within the limits of the technical possibilities, in order to ensure fast security checks. The underlying user philosophy is complemented by a user-friendly follow-up tool.
93
Special attention is paid in the conceptional alignment of the Millidevo project to the hazard analyses and basic examinations by the Federal Criminal Ofce (BKA) with regard to those explosives and/or drugs viewed as especially relevant. The whole system is designed so that the detection and application width can be expanded to meet needs.

SECURITY RESEARCH PROGRAMME

Security Research Programme

Germany is one of the safest countries in the world. The major confrontations of the Cold War are a thing of the past, Germany has been reunied and is surrounded by allies. However, new threats have arisen, only some of which are attributable to possible external inuences. Modern industrial society is thick with infrastructure networks that provide for mobility, energy and information ows and hence make efcient economies in Germany possible. These networks also reach critical points when they are operated at the limit of their capacity. Attacks using comparatively few resources could have a major impact on these. Global mobility also comes at a price: viruses can now travel around the globe in just a few hours in aeroplanes, a situation that concerns epidemiologists. Even with the relatively limited transport of the time, the Spanish Flu of 1928 caused devastation. Increased mobility has resulted in a growing number of major events world championships, youth gatherings which, simply because of the huge numbers of people, bring their own risks and on which the worlds television cameras are trained, which in turn makes these events attractive targets for attack. Moreover, technological society has created not only convenience but also new ways of making highly-effective weapons available to small groups, which could use them to build up political pressure. Anthrax is one example biological methods are widely available and one legacy of the Cold War is the number of dubiously-secured radioactive substances that were left behind. Natural catastrophes and major technical accidents can also trigger major consequential damage in a densely-networked world. The Federal Government is launching this research programme to combat these and other threats to civil security. The programme is rmly incorporated into the high-tech strategy for Germany which, for the rst time, is striving to achieve a common interdepartmental innovation policy. In addition, the security research programme is geared towards close collaboration with member states of the EU, and strategic research alliances with non-European states are being built up, which could build particular strengths in security issues. The programme is expected to result in innovative solutions to improve citizens security without restricting their freedom. Security cannot be achieved by technology alone. Technological and social issues are linked and new security solutions are accompanied by a social dialogue. The programme is also market-oriented. The market for security technology and services was worth EUR 10 bn in Germany in 2005 and its global growth is 7 to 8% per annum. With its efcient, varied and contemporary research (microsystems technology, optical technologies, sensors etc.), Germany is very well equipped to serve this market. The close integration in Europe means the programme can create the conditions for economic success beyond Germanys borders. The initial support period for the programme from 2007 to 2010 will also form the basis for a long-term, targeted and exible support policy. Around EUR 123m will be available for 2007 - 2010 in addition to the departments budgets for security research.
Objectives of the support

The Federal Governments security research program for the rst time puts research into civil security into an overall context. The purpose of the support is to develop innovative solutions including procedures, products, strategies and networks - to increase the security of citizens. Issues such as standardisation and quality assurance, harmonisation of system solutions, development of yardsticks for uniform risk analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of measures and technologies are just as important as the accompanying social dialogue and analysis of international developments. The functional objectives centre on three areas in which signicant success can be expected: + Innovative security solutions to reduce the vulnerability of vital infrastructures + Innovative security solutions to strengthen the emergency and security services + To tap the market for security solutions

Support programme lines

The support is concentrated in two programme lines. Programme line 1 comprises Scenario-oriented security research from the problem-solving perspectives of end users and is geared, among other things, to improving collaboration between the authorities and private operators of security-related infrastructures. The core elements of the support are the protection and rescue of people, protection of transport infrastructures, protection against failure of the supply infrastructures and securing the supply chains. The focus is not on individual technological results but on forming a community of players. The goal of programme line 2 is to research inter-disciplinary technologies in technology interconnections that are required in many scenarios such as methods for rapid and reliable identication of persons, rapid identication of hazardous substances etc. Both programme lines will give high priority to issues such as the acceptance of technological developments, sources or threats, data protection or the impact on human rights and civil liberties as part of accompanying research. The accompanying research will place particular value on the transfer of knowledge to the public domain. Publications, workshops and discourses among the participants will reinforce awareness of security-related issues and support research-policy decision-making. Dialogue and transparency are regarded as an important pre-requisite for the success of the whole.
Protection and rescue of persons The showcases of major events, as well as busy public areas, are neuralgic points at which minor and even unintentional incidents can have a catastrophic impact. This makes protection against terrorism even more urgent in such situations, especially if the attackers want to be sure of achieving media coverage since the amplication of the horror by the media is generally part of the terrorists calculations. Innovative solutions for prevention and crisis management of such events also increase the security of more everyday situations such as accidents, medical emergencies or criminal activities. It can also be assumed that the global increase in mobility will make critical densities such as major international events more and more probable. The population can nearly double in such situations, even in large cities. In this scenario, therefore, a large number of people need to be protected in a small space. This requires innovative solutions to identify incidents at an early stage to either prevent or minimise a crisis. An effective response to a crisis also has a preventive effect. If the probability of factors that exacerbate a crisis, such as mass panic, can be reduced, major events become less attractive to attackers from the outset. Therefore solutions to manage and combat crises at major events act as a general indicator in terms of protecting the population in public places. The objective of security research in this scenario is the early identication of attempted incidents, the prompt initiation of rescue and combat measures and effective provision of emergency services on site. Protection of transport infrastructures In a modern society, the various means of transport road, rail, air, water can, without exaggeration, be called its lifeblood. Their use has now become so nely balanced that even minor disruptions can have a far-reaching impact and cause considerable damage. If transport is cut off, it can become a disaster and destabilise society and business. The nodes in the transport system, such as airports, railway stations, dammed rivers and canals, bridges, tunnels, high-speed routes, are particularly vulnerable. It is absolutely vital to protect these neuralgic points. Furthermore, in an industrial society, large quantities of potentially hazardous raw materials and smaller quantities of chemicals that are actually toxic are transported. Attacks on such transports in towns, on bridges, in tunnels could have devastating consequences. Rapid and simple analysis of the substances concerned can make the difference between life and death. Therefore innovative solutions to secure transport infrastructures are a particularly important objective of the security research. The focus is on prevention, early identication, increasing redundancy (functionality in all possible crisis situations) and increasing the performance of the emergency services in a crisis. The security solutions should take account of efciency, user and customer-friendliness, the involvement of individual and group behaviours and legal aspects.
Programme line 1 Scenario-oriented security research:

In this programme line, the research will focus on solutions for complex security scenarios to incorporate the end users problem-solving perspectives into the research from the outset. Using the scenarios guarantees that all the technology, science, humanities and social sciences disciplines that are needed to develop viable security solutions are involved and geared towards common goals. The scenarios also provide a platform for the authorities and private sector players to collaborate as operators and providers of security technology. The use of scenarios ensures that appropriate system innovations are favoured over isolated individual questions and solutions. These system innovations integrate both existing and new technologies. They are based on threat analyses and take account of cost-benet analyses as well as the attitudes and behaviour of both individuals and groups and their dynamic. How can citizens make a greater contribution to reducing or even totally avoiding potential dangers in a crisis? How can errors be avoided in, for example, panic situations? In this way, scenario-oriented security research not only satises the actual security requirement but is also geared to a rapid implementation of the results.

Protection against failure of the supply infrastructures The supply of energy, water, information and communications, nancial and health services and food to households, companies and public facilities is based on complex networked infrastructures, some of which are Europe-wide. The supply infrastructures are becoming increasingly complex, increasingly intertwined and dependent on one another. The domino effect of an incident in a central infrastructure element, such as a network node, can affect many people and extend beyond national borders and have a knock-on effect on other infrastructures. Electricity is the elixir of modern life and its Achilles heel. A power failure of long duration would have disastrous consequences. The railways would come to a halt, as would air trafc, and cars would not be on the road for long either petrol stations cannot operate without power. Even power generation itself could suffer permanent damage. Communications networks would fail, the Internet, gas pipelines would transport no more gas and gas central heating in houses, even if the gas supply were intact, would not provide any more heat, refrigeration units would no longer cool nothing would work. There may be various reasons for a supply infrastructure to fail: targeted terror attacks, criminal activity, industrial accidents or natural disasters (earthquake, ood, hurricane, heavy snow etc.). Since the networks are extremely widespread, the protection of major infrastructures must be put in place where multiple dependencies mean that particularly high levels of damage could occur. The large number of factors that could cause an incident makes it clear that a wide range of different technologies and strategies is required to protect supply infrastructures. It is not enough simply to build on what already exists; true innovations are needed. The efforts to protect the public from terrorism and crime will therefore pay for themselves because they also improve the stability of the community in relation to natural catastrophes and accidents. Increased ICT security plays an important role in this context. The security of all infrastructures not just the ICT infrastructures (telephone, Internet, cable and radio) themselves is increasingly dependent on the security of the information and communications technology. Specic research tasks can be derived from this. Provision must be made to ensure that, for example, the expected penetration of Internet technologies into areas outside communications technologies, such as process control systems and nancial systems, does not lead to a new type of vulnerability. Since the Internet is a unique and increasingly signicant supply infrastructure, it must specially protected against attacks in which its failure could destabilise society or business. The objectives of the security research in this scenario are prevention, early detection, isolation and intelligent delivery of emergency reserves, securing basic provision in a crisis and rapid restoration of the original supply status.
Securing the supply chains Secure production and transport of goods and guaranteeing the integrity of goods are vital to society and business. Terror attacks could affect the system in many places. An interruption in goods deliveries can cause considerable economic damage very quickly and can lead to companies collapsing. Counterfeiting, contamination or misappropriation of the goods themselves can substantially disrupt social and business life. Every citizen can be affected if the supply of food or medicines is impaired. Securing the supply chains is of increasing signicance for Germany as an export and logistics location. Transport containers (such as letters, parcels, boxes, containers, tanks) may be misused for attacks or criminal purposes. The range of individual scenarios is very wide. Packaging and containers allow prohibited activities to be camouaged, attacks to be disguised and illegal objects to be moved internationally. Production facilities can be deliberately destroyed or manipulated. The ow of goods also contains items whose manipulation or theft could pose a great threat. This makes large container transport systems and logistics centres highly signicant. Innovative solutions for their security are therefore extremely important to secure the supply chains. The objectives of the security research in this scenario are prevention, early identication of threats without disrupting or slowing commercial transport and increasing the performance of the relief units in a crisis as well as minimising damage.
Programme line 2 Technology interconnections

Certain security technologies are required in many or all scenarios. These include technologies for rapid and reliable identication of persons, rapid and mobile identication of hazardous substances, pattern detection and boosting deployments of security and emergency services. The technology interconnections tap basic technological knowledge that is important for security research and develop innovative technology systems from existing and new basic technologies. They work at application level by involving the entire innovation chain from the research via industry to the end users. In the technology interconnections, reasonable accompanying research will address ethical questions, perform innovation analyses and examine legal or technical consequences in order to prepare any corrections or additional measures that may be needed.
102
Integrated protection systems for emergency and security services Against a background of growing potential threats from terrorism, natural and technical disasters, as well as the increase in integrated assignments by various relief units, the range of deployment for civil defence and protection and the police has expanded signicantly. First Responders in particular are faced with new communication and organisational challenges when combating and tackling incidents caused by catastrophes or terrorism and are nding themselves exposed to increased psychological and physical burdens. Based on this changing threat situation development of integrated protection systems, equipment and organisational measures to improve the performance and security of rst response forces in the long term will be required. In particular, there is a need for reliable, secure and compatible technologies and tools for communication and co-ordination and for equipment and resources to protect against chemical and biological agents and other hazardous substances. User-friendliness and human-machine interfaces in particular must be considered in the development of high-performance and robust security systems. Multi-sensor systems for CBRNE risks There is an increasing risk of abuse of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive contaminants and hazardous substances (CBRNE substances) as these substances are becoming ever easier to obtain. Information on how to build weapons or parts of weapons can be found on the Internet, for example. The main technical pre-requisite for comprehensive preventive and reactive protection measures are highly-sensitive detector systems to detect all types of CBRNE substances. The threats range from the use of non-conventional explosives by terrorists to the risk of a large-scale contamination of agricultural output and spoiling of the food and water supply, to the use of dirty bombs that use conventional explosives to disperse radioactive material. Early detection, and the concomitant containment of such threats, requires the development of both new sensor concepts and new scanner technologies with integrated or mobile trace or volume detectors. The goal is to create early warning systems, e.g. during checks on people, baggage or goods, that can help to prevent CBRNE attacks or facilitate a rapid deployment of emergency or evacuation measures in a crisis through early detection of warfare agents. Against this background, the interdisciplinary topic of multi-sensor systems for CBRNE risks should preferably promote multi-modal and multi-functional detector platforms, new types of mobile sensor concepts as well as new types of sensor and data merge concepts and procedures to achieve a sustainable improvement in security at the point of deployment and to accelerate security checks. Essential criteria for the development and integration of multi-sensor components for both local and long-range detection of CBRNE substances include not only a high level of sensitivity, resolution and selectivity but, above all, ease of
use, autonomy, a high level of automation, robustness as well as low susceptibility to false alarms and real-time capability. The key support points addressed include not only detection processes (e.g. based on terahertz technology) and sensor types (e.g. self-reporting sensors) but also multi-sensor system solutions based on a link between new and existing CBRNE sensors or application-related use of existing detector technologies (e.g. biochips or clinical diagnostic procedures). Pattern recognition The ability to analyse information, images or data, which where possible originate from many different sources, by means of intelligent and automated pattern recognition and to make them available promptly to the responsible persons, facilities or authorities is an essential element of future security systems. In a case of a crisis, this ability will make it easier to plan and manage deployments and to gather information. Key applications include automatic protection of busy locations, identication of forged documents, automated support for border checks or monitoring of objects classied as being hazardous or in jeopardy. There is still plenty of room for development in surveillance and early warning systems for automated analysis of multi-sensor data, such as image data, in conjunction with results of detection procedures geared, for example, towards hazardous substances. The foundations for implementing improved pattern recognition systems and new data analysis and visualisation methods will include extremely high-performance hardware and software developments based on database and Internet technology. There will also be information, visualisation and sensor technology developments from other elds of research. For instance, pattern recognition algorithms that were originally developed to detect tumours on computer tomography images can be modied to track movements of people or abandoned luggage at railway stations and airports via video surveillance. Results from the humanities and social sciences, such as the behaviour and organisational structures of terrorists, will also be incorporated into pattern recognition. Biometrics Authentication or identication of persons using biometric features can be used for example to protect against terrorism, at border security or in law enforcement by the police. However, the technology is also becoming increasingly signicant in e-commerce and access control. Among other things, biometric systems must be developed in such a way that their use at border checks, for example, facilitates high-performance, reliable, rapid and convenient authentication. In addition to ease of use, accuracy of identication and robustness of biometric systems, it is also important to minimise rejection and false acceptance rates. Protection of the stored reference data and data transmission in the biometric system are essential for the further development and integration of biometric components into security systems.

The focus of the support is not on individual technological results but on forming a community of players and implementing agreed innovation strategies and objectives. The co-operation of end users with their practical experience is vital to security research. Priority for funding will go to joint projects which will essentially be measured against the following criteria: + How they help increase security + Level of innovation and increase of knowledge + Uniformity and breadth of impact of the solution including social goals and effects + Practical suitability or marketability of the intended solution and its optimised economic leverage. The joint projects should be led by end users or industry and include all the necessary research disciplines. The joint projects in programme line 1 aim to develop system solutions for security scenarios; those in programme line 2 aim to develop cross-scenario technology systems. Joint projects are of particular benet to SMEs. On the one hand they bring SMEs into direct contact with excellent research facilities, and on the other hand they gain access, via the major enterprises co-operating in the project, to key users and markets and hence the opportunity to become a sub-contractor. The funding will be granted on a competitive basis i.e. there will generally be a public announcement of the topics in question and other special criteria. Given the breadth of the security research eld, the announcements may be made in conjunction with other research programmes and over multiple policy areas. In order to accommodate the breadth of security research, the plan is to set up innovation platforms building on thematically-related joint projects. The goal of these innovation platforms is to bring all the players involved to one table, thereby allowing synergies between related research projects to be utilised. This also means that the information transfer that is important for later decisions, such as in procurement, begins at an early stage of the research and development. The innovation platforms create the conditions for rapid implementation of the results. Efciency will be increased even further if the players undertake to increase the proportion of their own research activities and evolve greater and more binding applications than has been usual hitherto in normal funding plans in Location Germany.
