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.
