Background: In 2008 thanks to the Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung Wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz (LOEWE) CASED as one of five centers of the LOEWE initiative was established. LOEWE is an initiative for supporting the development of scientific and economic excellence in Hesse. This research funding program differs from other promoting initiatives not only with regards to its quantity but also in respect to its various topics, competitive and long-term objectives.

Content: CASED is a collaborative project of the Technische Universität Darmstadt, the Fraunhofer Society and the University of Applied Science (Hochschule) Darmstadt. In the research areas Secure Data, Secure Things, and Secure Services the cluster develops applicable basic knowledge and IT security solutions. Thanks to its broadly-based position in regards to topics and competencies, the cluster and its headquarters CASED can realize especially complex projects efficiently and sustainably. The Darmstadt IT-security cluster always welcomes new members which wish to benefit directly from the cooperation within.
