The interdisciplinary "Forum Safety & Security" will take place on September 21, 2022 at Landshut University of Applied Sciences. Traditionally, a basic seminar on functional safety and security will be held by Prof. Peter Fromm.

Exchange between experts and users

During the forum, the individual topics of safety and security as well as the interaction of both aspects will be discussed. The spectrum of presentations ranges from cross-application basics to specific applications in industry, automation technology and electronics. The lecture program ranges from the basics, available hardware and software components, methods and tools, aids and certification to the practical use of safe systems.

Participate with technical presentations, practical examples and experience reports from relevant projects and send us your topic suggestions by March 31, 2022 on the following topics, among others:

Fundamentals:

• Application and further development of safety and security standards and norms (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 21434...)
• Implementation of functional safety - experience with safety processes, modified development processes
• Certification & testing
• Legal aspects, product liability
• Qualification of software tools
• Hazard and risk analyses, analysis methods
• Hardware development methodologies and metrics for safety and security systems
• Software development for safety and security-relevant systems, agile development methods, etc.
• Use of non-qualified and open source software Safety and security architectures and design patterns (best practices)
• Cyber security basics, encryption methods, key management
• Hardware security mechanisms (Trust Zone, HSM, etc.)
• Software security libraries (open source, closed source)
• Cryptography and hacking, post-quantum security
• Trusted electronics (chip provisioning)
• Safety/security in complex, dynamic systems (networked systems, AI, data analysis...)
• Safety and security - how can conflicting requirements be reconciled?

Industry:

• Functional safety in the process industry (IEC 61511)
• Functional safety - The safety life cycle
• Long-term safety - Update capability of software for industrial environments
• Safety & security in robotics applications - safety strategies for HRC, fenceless applications, cobots, etc.
• Safety & security by design - What options are there for legacy systems, brown field?
• Typical cyber attacks and how to protect against them
• Safety/security in the context of artificial intelligence
• IIoT, edge, cloud
• Zero trust in OT environments (operational technology)
• The interaction of safety and security in production / no safety without security
