Strong security measures are required to protect sensitive data and provide ongoing service as a result of the rising reliance on online applications for a range of purposes, including e-commerce, social networking, and commercial activities. This has brought to light the necessity of strengthening security measures. There have been multiple incidents of attackers acquiring access to information, holding providers hostage with distributed denial of service attacks, or accessing the company’s network by compromising the application.
The Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) has published a comprehensive set of information security principles and standards that can be utilized as a solid basis for the development of a web application that is secure.
The purpose of this thesis is to build and construct a secure web application that adheres to the requirements established in the BSI guideline. This will be done in order to answer the growing concerns regarding the security of web applications. We will also evaluate the efficacy of the recommendations by conducting security tests on the prototype application and determining whether or not the vulnerabilities that are connected with a web application that is not secure have been mitigated.
The research employed HPTLC Pro System and other HPTLC instruments from CAMAG® to conduct various laboratory tests, aiming to compile a database for subsequent analyses. Utilizing MATLAB, distinct codes were developed to reveal patterns within analyzed biomasses and pyrolysis oils (sewage sludge, fermentation residue, paper sludge, and wood). Through meticulous visual and numerical analysis, shared characteristics among different biomasses and their respective pyrolysis oils were revealed, showcasing close similarities within each category. Notably, minimal disparity was observed in fermentation residue and wood biomasses with a similarity coefficient of 0.22. Similarly, for pyrolysis oils, the minimal disparity was found in fermentation residues 1 and 3, with a disparity coefficient of 1.41. Despite higher disparity coefficients in certain results, specific biomasses and pyrolysis oils, such as fermentation residue and sewage sludge, exhibited close similarities, with disparity coefficients of 0.18 and 0.55, respectively. The database, derived from triplicate experimentation, now serves as a valuable resource for rapid analysis of newly acquired raw materials. Additionally, the utility of HPTLC PRO as an investigation tool, enabling simultaneous analysis of up to five samples, was emphasized, although areas for improvement in derivatization methods were identified.
Though the basic concept of a ledger that anyone can view and verify has been around for quite some time, today’s blockchains bring much more to the table including a way to incentivize users. The coins given to the miner or validator were the first source of such incentive to make sure they fulfilled their duties. This thesis draws inspiration from other peer efforts and uses this same incentive to achieve certain goals. Primarily one where users are incentivised to discuss their opinions and find scientific or logical backing for their standpoint. While traditional chains form a consensus on a version of financial "truth", the same can be applied to ideological truths too. To achieve this, creating a modified or scaled proof of stake consensus mechanism is explored in this work. This new consensus mechanism is a Reputation Scaled - Proof of Stake. This reputation can be built over time by voting for the winning side consistently or by sticking to one’s beliefs strongly. The thesis hopes to bridge the gap in current consensus algorithms and incentivize critical reasoning.
As the Industry 4.0 is evolving, the previously separated Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) is converging. Connecting devices in the industrial setting to the Internet exposes these systems to a broader spectrum of cyber-attacks. The reason is that since OT does not have much security measures as much as IT, it is more vulnerable from the attacker's perspective. Another factor contributing to the vulnerability of OT is that, when it comes to cybersecurity, industries have focused on protecting information technology and less prioritizing the control systems. The consequences of a security breach in an OT system can be more adverse as it can lead to physical damage, industrial accidents and physical harm to human beings. Hence, for the OT networks, certificate-based authentication is implemented. This involves stages of managing credentials in their communication endpoints. In the previous works of ivESK, a solution was developed for managing credentials. This involves a CANopen-based physical demonstrator where the certificate management processes were developed. The extended feature set involving certificate management will be based on the existing solution. The thesis aims to significantly improve such a solution by addressing two key areas that is enhancing functionality and optimizing real-time performance. Regarding the first goal, firstly, an analysis of the existing feature set shall be carried out, where the correct functionality shall be guaranteed. The limitations from the previously implemented system will be addressed and to make sure it can be applied to real world scenarios, it will be implemented and tested in the physical demonstrator. This will lay a concrete foundation that these certificate management processes can be used in the industries in large-scale networks. Implementation of features like revocation mechanism for certificates, automated renewal of the credentials and authorization attribute checks for the certificate management will be implemented. Regarding the second goal, the impact of credential management processes on the ongoing CANopen real-time traffic shall be a studied. Since in real life scenarios, mission-critical applications like Industrial control systems, medical devices, and transportation networks rely on real-time communication for reliable operation, delays or disruptions caused by credential management processes can have severe consequences. Optimizing these processes is crucial for maintaining system integrity and safety. The effect to minimize the disturbance of the credential management processes on the normal operation of the CANopen network shall be characterized.

Increasing global energy demand and the need to transition to sustainable energy sources to mitigate climate change, highlights the need for innovative approaches to improve the resilience and sustainability of power grids. This study focuses on addressing these challenges in the context of Morocco's evolving energy landscape, where increasing energy demand and efforts to integrate renewable energy require grid reinforcement strategies. Using renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic systems and energy storage technologies, this study aims to develop a methodology for strengthening rural community grids in Morocco.
Traditional reinforcement measures such as line and transformer upgrades will be investigated as well as the integration of power generation from photovoltaic systems, which offer a promising way to utilise Morocco's abundant solar resources. In addition, energy storage systems will be analysed as potential solutions to the challenges of grid stability and resilience. Using comprehensive data analysis, scenario planning and simulation methods with the open-source simulation software Panda Power, this study aims to assess the impact of different grid reinforcement measures, including conventional methods, photovoltaic integration, and the use of energy storage, on grid performance and sustainability. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of transitioning to a more resilient and sustainable energy future in Morocco.
Based on a rural medium-voltage grid in Souihla, Morocco, three scenarios were carried out to assess the impact of demand growth in 2030 and 2040. The first scenario focuses on conventional grid reinforcement measures, while the second scenario incorporates energy from residential photovoltaic systems. The third scenario analyses the integration of storage systems and their impact on grid reinforcement in 2030.
The simulations with energy from photovoltaic systems show a reduction in grid reinforcement measures compared to the scenario without solar energy. In addition, the introduction of a storage system in 2030 led to a significant reduction in the required installed transformer capacity and fewer congested lines. Furthermore, the results emphasized the role of storage in stabilizing grid voltage levels.
In summary, the results highlighted the potential benefits of integrating energy from photovoltaics and storage into the grid. This integration not only reduces the need for transformers and overall grid infrastructure but also promotes a more efficient and sustainable energy system.
The growing threat posed by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp), represents a significant challenge in modern medicine. Traditional antibiotic therapies are often ineffective against these pathogens, leading to high mortality rates. MDR Kp infections pose a novel challenge in military medical contexts, particularly in Medical Biodefense, as they can be deliberately spread, leading to resource-intensive care in military centres. Recognizing this issue, the European Defence Agency initiated a prioritised research project in 2023 (EDF Resilience PHAGE- SGA 2023). To address this challenge, the Bundeswehr Institute of Microbiology (IMB) leads BMBF- (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) and EU-funded projects on the use of bacteriophages as adjuvant therapy alongside antibiotics. Since 2017, the IMB has isolated and characterised Kp phages, collecting over 600 isolates and optimizing their production for therapy, in compliance with the EMA (European Medicine Agency) guidelines. This involves in vitro phage genome packaging to minimize endotoxin load, reduce manufacturing costs, and shorten production times. The goal of this work was to establish MinION sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technology) as a quick and reliable way for initial identification and characterisation of phage genomes. Especially as a quick screening method for isolated on Kp, prior to more precise but also more expensive and time consuming sequencing methods like Illumina. This characterisation is crucial for developing a personalized pipeline aimed at producing magistral or Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) quality medicinal phage solutions tailored individually for each patient. DNA extraction methods were compared to identify suitable input DNA for sequencing purposes. Additionally, the quality of this DNA was as- sessed to determine its suitability for in vitro phage packaging, which was successfully done achieving a phage titer of 103, confirming that the DNA used for MinION sequencing could indeed be used for acellular packaging. The created genomes were annotated and compared with Illumina sequencing, revealing high similarity in all five individually tested cases. Between the generated sequences only a 4% maximal percentual difference in genome size was observed, while simultaneously showing high similarity in the actual sequence. Throughout the course of this study, a total of 645.15 GB of sequencing data were generated. In total, 38 phages were successfully characterised, with 21 phage genomes assembled and annotated, and saved in the IMB database.
Steroid hormones (SHs) are a rising concern due to their high bioactivity, ubiquitous nature, and prolonged existence as a micropollutants in water, they pose a potential risk to both human health and the environment, even at low concentrations. Estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone are the three important types of steroids essential for human development and maintaining multiorgan balance, are focus to this concern. These steroid hormones originate
from various sources, including human and livestock excretions, veterinary medications, agricultural runoff, and pharmaceuticals, contributing to their presence in the environment. According to the recommendation of WHO, the guidance value for estradiol (E2) is 1 ng/L. There are several methods been attempted to remove the SH micropollutant by conventional water and wastewater technologies which are still under research. Among the various methods, electrochemical membrane reactor (EMR) is one of the emerging technologies that can address the challenge of insufficient SHs removal from the aquatic environment by conventional treatment. The degradation of SHs can be significantly influenced by various factors when treated with EMR.
In this project, the removal of SH and the important mechanism for the removal using carbon nanotube CNT-EMR is studied and the efficiency of CNT-EMR in treating the SH micropollutant is identified. By varying different parameters this experiment is carried out with the (PES-CNTs) ultrafiltration membrane. The study is carried out depending upon the SH removal based on the limiting factor such as cell voltage, flux, temperature, concentration, and type of the SH.
Globale Ereignisse politischen, wirtschaftlichen oder kulturellen Ursprungs führen dazu, dass Unternehmen sich gezwungen sehen zu handeln, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. In vielen Fällen wird dabei so vorgegangen, dass versteckte Preiserhöhungen vollzogen werden. Auch Unternehmen, die mit ihrem Angebot einen gesellschaftlichen Zusatznutzen erbringen, erhöhen die Preise, da nur so der verfolgte ökologische oder soziale Purpose erhalten werden kann, kommunizieren dies jedoch offen und erhöhen dadurch ihre Kundenloyalität. Dieses Vorgehen ist bislang jedoch überwiegend in den USA zu beobachten. Da das Thema Purpose auch in Deutschland immer höhere Relevanz erfährt, stellt sich die Frage der Übertragbarkeit. Die Forschungsfrage lautet deshalb: Inwiefern beeinflusst die Kommunikation von purpose-getriebenen Preissteigerungen das Markenimage von B2C-Unternehmen in Deutschland? Um der Forschungsfrage nachzugehen, wurde ein empirischer Forschungsansatz gewählt, der in Form einer quantitativen Studie umgesetzt wurde, die die Meinung der Studierendenschaft der Gen Z und Y der Hochschule Offenburg abbildet. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage zeigten, dass die Glaubwürdigkeit und Akzeptanz von purpose-getriebenen Preiserhöhungen vom gegenwärtigen Markenimage bzw. dem übergeordneten Image einer Branche abhängen. Purpose wird eine hohe Bedeutung zugesprochen, die sich jedoch aufgrund der Preissensibilität der Zielgruppe nicht immer in der Markenwahl widerspiegelt. Dies verdeutlicht, dass Purpose das Potenzial besitzt, das Markenimage nachhaltig zu beeinflussen und zu prägen und die Zielgruppe der Gen Z und Y zukünftig an sich zu binden. Ferner wurde deutlich, dass bei der Umsetzung von Purpose bestimmte Kriterien verfolgt werden sollten, die bei der Kommunikation zu berücksichtigen sind, um eine authentische Wirkung zu erzielen.
This thesis focuses on the development and implementation of a Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) communication framework within the ns-3 network simulator, specifically targeting the LoRaWAN model network. The primary aim is to analyse the behaviour and performance of DTLS protocols across different network conditions within a LoRaWAN context. The key aspects of this work include the following.
Utilization of ns-3: This thesis leverages ns-3’s capabilities as a powerful discrete event network simulator. This platform enables the emulation of diverse network environments, characterized by varying levels of latency, packet loss, and bandwidth constraints.
Emulation of Network Challenges: The framework specifically addresses unique challenges posed by certain network configurations, such as duty cycle limitations. These constraints, which limit the time allocated for data transmission by each device, are crucial in understanding the real-world performance of DTLS protocols.
Testing in Multi-client-server Scenarios: A significant feature of this framework is its ability to test DTLS performance in complex scenarios involving multiple clients and servers. This is vital for assessing the behaviour of a protocol under realistic network conditions.
Realistic Environment Simulation: By simulating challenging network conditions, such as congestion, limited bandwidth, and resource constraints, the framework provides a realistic environment for thorough evaluation. This allows for a comprehensive analysis of DTLS in terms of security, performance, and scalability.
Overall, this thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of DTLS protocols by providing a robust tool for their evaluation under various and challenging network conditions.
The progress in machine learning has led to advanced deep neural networks. These networks are widely used in computer vision tasks and safety-critical applications. The automotive industry, in particular, has experienced a significant transformation with the integration of deep learning techniques and neural networks. This integration contributes to the realization of autonomous driving systems. Object detection is a crucial element in autonomous driving. It contributes to vehicular safety and operational efficiency. This technology allows vehicles to perceive and identify their surroundings. It detects objects like pedestrians, vehicles, road signs, and obstacles. Object detection has evolved from being a conceptual necessity to an integral part of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the foundation of autonomous driving technologies. These advancements enable vehicles to make real-time decisions based on their understanding of the environment, improving safety and driving experiences. However, the increasing reliance on deep neural networks for object detection and autonomous driving has brought attention to potential vulnerabilities within these systems. Recent research has highlighted the susceptibility of these systems to adversarial attacks. Adversarial attacks are well-designed inputs that exploit weaknesses in the deep learning models underlying object detection. Successful attacks can cause misclassifications and critical errors, posing a significant threat to the functionality and safety of autonomous vehicles. With the rapid development of object detection systems, the vulnerability to adversarial attacks has become a major concern. These attacks manipulate inputs to deceive the target system, significantly compromising the reliability and safety of autonomous vehicles. In this study, we focus on analyzing adversarial attacks on state-of-the-art object detection models. We create adversarial examples to test the models’ robustness. We also check if the attacks work on a different object detection model meant for similar tasks. Additionally, we extensively evaluate recent defense mechanisms to see how effective they are in protecting deep neural networks (DNNs) from adversarial attacks and provide a comprehensive overview of the most commonly used defense strategies against adversarial attacks, highlighting how they can be implemented practically in real-world situations.
Privacy is the capacity to keep some things private despite their social repercussions. It relates to a person’s capacity to control the amount, time, and circumstances under which they disclose sensitive personal information, such as a person’s physiology, psychology, or intelligence. In the age of data exploitation, privacy has become even more crucial. Our privacy is now more threatened than it was 20 years ago, outside of science and technology, due to the way data and technology highly used. Both the kinds and amounts of information about us and the methods for tracking and identifying us have grown a lot in recent years. It is a known security concern that human and machine systems face privacy threats. There are various disagreements over privacy and security; every person and group has a unique perspective on how the two are related. Even though 79% of the study’s results showed that legal or compliance issues were more important, 53% of the survey team thought that privacy and security were two separate things. Data security and privacy are interconnected, despite their distinctions. Data security and data privacy are linked with each other; both are necessary for the other to exist. Data may be physically kept anywhere, on our computers or in the cloud, but only humans have authority over it. Machine learning has been used to solve the problem for our easy solution. We are linked to our data. Protect against attackers by protecting data, which also protects privacy. Attackers commonly utilize both mechanical systems and social engineering techniques to enter a target network. The vulnerability of this form of attack rests not only in the technology but also in the human users, making it extremely difficult to fight against. The best option to secure privacy is to combine humans and machines in the form of a Human Firewall and a Machine Firewall. A cryptographic route like Tor is a superior choice for discouraging attackers from trying to access our system and protecting the privacy of our data There is a case study of privacy and security issues in this thesis. The problems and different kinds of attacks on people and machines will then be briefly talked about. We will explain how Human Firewalls and machine learning on the Tor network protect our privacy from attacks such as social engineering and attacks on mechanical systems. As a real-world test, we will use genomic data to try out a privacy attack called the Membership Inference Attack (MIA). We’ll show Machine Firewall as a way to protect ourselves, and then we’ll use Differential Privacy (DP), which has already been done. We applied the method of Lasso and convolutional neural networks (CNN), which are both popular machine learning models, as the target models. Our findings demonstrate a logarithmic link between the desired model accuracy and the privacy budget.
This study investigates the impact of global payroll outsourcing on organizational efficiency and cost reduction based on the analysis of diverse implications stemming from thirty one (31) survey results. The findings reveal multifaceted challenges and benefitsassociated with outsourcing global payroll processing.
The research also unveils the most benefits of global payroll outsourcing. Notably, there's a consensus on the reduction in time-to-process payroll, cost per payroll processed, and improved payroll accuracy rate. Outsourcing streamlines processes, enhances operational efficiency, and contributes to faster, more accurate financial reporting.
Despite these benefits and challenges, statistical analysis reveals weak correlations between outsourcing global payroll and cost reduction or improved efficiency in various parameters, indicating a lack of a significant relationship. Consequently, the results, suggest no substantial correlation between global payroll outsourcing and enhanced efficiency or cost reduction based on this study's data.
Decarbonisation Strategies in Energy Systems Modelling: APV and e-tractors as Flexibility Assets
(2023)
This work presents an analysis of the impact of introducing Agrophotovoltaic technologies and electric tractors into Germany’s energy system. Agrophotovoltaics involves installing photovoltaic systems in agricultural areas, allowing for dual usage of the land for both energy generation and food production. Electric tractors, which are agricultural machinery powered by electric motors, can also function as energy storage units, providing flexibility to the grid. The analysis includes a sensitivity study to understand how the availability of agricultural land influences Agrophotovoltaic investments, followed by the examination of various scenarios that involve converting diesel tractors to electric tractors. These scenarios are based on the current CO2 emission reduction targets set by the German Government, aiming for a 65% reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and achieving zero emissions by 2045. The results indicate that approximately 3% of available agricultural land is necessary to establish a viable energy mix in Germany. Furthermore, the expansion of electric tractors tends to reduce the overall system costs and enhances the energy-cost-efficiency of Agrophotovoltaic investments.

As the population grows, so does the amount of biowaste. As demand for energy grows, biogas is a promising solution to the problem. Lignocellulosic materials are challenged of slow degradability due to the presence of polymers such as cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. There are several pretreatment methods available to enhance the degradability of such materials, including enzymatic pretreatment. In this pretreatment, there are few parameters that can influence the results, the most important being the enzyme to solid ratio and the solid to liquid ratio. During this project, experiments were conducted to determine the optimal conditions for those two factors. It was discovered that a solid to liquid ratio of 31 g of buffer per 1 gram of organic dry matter produced the highest reducing sugar release in flasks when combined with 34 mg of protein per 1 gram of organic dry mass. Additionally, another experiment was carried out to investigate the impact of enzymatic pretreatment on biogas production using artificial biowaste as a substrate. Artificial biowaste produced 577,9 NL/kg oDM, while enzymatically pretreated biowaste produced 639,3 NL/kg oDM. This resulted in a 10,6% rise in cumulative biogas production compared to its use without enzymatic pretreatment. By the conclusion of the investigation, specific cumulative dry methane yields of 364,7 NL/kg oDM and 426,3 NL/kg oDM were obtained from artificial biowaste without and with enzymatic pretreatment, respectively. This resulted in a methane production boost of 16,9%. Additionally in case of the reactors with enzymatically pretreated substrate kinetic constant was lower more than double, where maximum volume of biogas increased, comparing to the reactors without enzymatic pretreatment.
In dieser Arbeit werden Untersuchungen an einem neuartigen Sensorkonzept zur Erfassung von Winkelbeschleunigungen durchgeführt. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Möglichkeit, eine Miniaturisierung des Prototyps zu untersuchen. Hierfür wurde eine analytische und experimentelle Untersuchung durchgeführt. Für die analytische Betrachtung erfolgte eine Fehlerfortpflanzung nach Gauß, welche die Fertigungstoleranzen, Dimensionsfehler des Accelerometers, Rauschen und Messabweichungen von Accelerometer und Gyroskop berücksichtigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei Verwendung der hochwertigen Inertial Measurment Units (IMUs) eine theoretische Verkleinerung bis auf 21mm eine höhere Genauigkeit bietet als die numerischen Differentiationen der Winkelgeschwindigkeit.
Für die Verifizierung unter realen Bedingungen wurden verschiedene Prüfkonzepte verglichen.
Dabei erwies sich ein Pendelprüfstand als vielversprechender Ansatz. Durch die Verwendung von Kugellagern kann ein breites Spektrum an Winkelbeschleunigungen abgebildet werden. Die kontinuierliche Erfassung reflektierender Marker auf der Pendelstange ermöglicht die Ermittlung der Winkel, die als Grundlage für ein Modell dienen, wodurch sich reale Winkelbeschleunigungen mit den Messdaten des Sensors vergleichen lassen. Dabei stellt die Modellierung der Verlustterme eine zukünftige Herausforderung dar.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine Miniaturisierung des Sensorprototyps möglich ist und das der Pendelprüfstand eine Methode zur Verifizierung darstellt. Dies trägt dazu bei, die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des Sensorkonzepts in der Praxis zu erweitern.
