NEO Awards for Industry 4.0 The Karlsruhe Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB) is the winner of NEO2014, the Innovation Award from the Technology Region Karlsruhe. This year’s NEO competition was focused on the concept of Industry 4.0, introduced by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and was won by Fraunhofer IOSB’s project “Secure Plug & Work.” Wibu-Systems is a technological partner in this project and provides security for the automated configuration process in order for “Plug & Work” to become a reality for connected PLC components, sensors, and actors. Additionally, with its own Protection Suite, Wibu-Systems was itself one of the five finalists for the 2014 NEO Award.  Picture: Fränkle Blurry-Box® Cryptography Wibu-Systems has teamed up with KIT, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and Professor Jörn Müller-Quade, and applied the Kerckhoff ­ principles to develop software protection processes that are reliably secure and correct even when their mode of working is known. 14 The Blurry-Box® design (patent pending) has won the first prize, including a 100,000 € endowment, for the biennial German IT ­ ecurity S Prize awarded by the Horst Görtz Institute in Bochum. The new concept will be integrated in new versions of CodeMeter.
