An interdisciplinary team from the Warsaw University of Technology has begun work on the concept of creating a network of smart devices (equipped with IoT technology) on our Central Campus. One such device will be a "smart lantern," equipped with a set of sensors, actuators, and systems for communication with other similar devices. Implementing this solution will provide users of the WUT campus with various conveniences, such as reducing light pollution.

Innovative Solution in Cryptography – First Unitary Patent at WUT

Opublikowano: 04/09/2024 10:50 am

The creators of the solution: Piotr Z. Wieczorek, PhD, associate professor, and Krzysztof Gołofit, PhD.

This stands for a new standard in data security against unauthorized access. Our researchers have developed a generator of cryptographic keys (or simply "secret passwords") that offers greater security than ever before, while being easy to use and cost-efficient, even in highly demanding cases. The solution has been granted the first European patent with unitary effect at the Warsaw University of Technology.
