    Abstract: A computer system is configured to process alarm activations received from technical systems, where an alarm activation represents a deviation of the technical status of a technical system from normal. The system includes: a data storage interface for receiving alarm activations in data storage, where the recorded alarm activations correspond to alarms; a data processor for: determining, from the recorded alarm activations, time intervals for alarm analysis; and computing similarity measures between the time intervals that depend on the occurrence of the recorded alarm activations in the time intervals, and where the contribution of an alarm activation to the similarity of two time intervals is reduced with an increasing occurrence of the alarm in the time intervals; and a user interface configured to provide pairs of time intervals to an operator of the one or more technical systems that include time intervals with similarity measures indicating similar alarm.

    Abstract: A method of automatically generating secure code includes: receiving source code and security constraints for the source code, the security constraints encoding, to what extend a variable in the source code is considered secure; and generating secure code from the source code and the security constraints by replacing non-secure operations in the source code, which operate on the variables considered as secure, with secure operations; wherein a secure operation is an operation, which, when applied to at least one encrypted variable, generates an encrypted result, which, when decrypted, is the result of the non-secure operation applied to the not encrypted variable.

    Abstract: The application relates to a method for computing a probabilistic encryption scheme for encrypting a data item in an electronic device including: computing a plurality of random bit strings in a computation cluster; sending the computed plurality of random strings to the electronic device; generating a random string (rE) for using in the encryption scheme in the electronic device using a subset of the plurality of the random strings computed in the computation cluster and encrypting the data item using the random string computed in the electronic device. The present application also relates to a corresponding system and corresponding computer program product including one or more computer readable media having computer executable instructions for performing the steps of the method.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a context-aware security self-assessment method or module that determines the context in which the device is used and based on this, assesses the devices security settings. The context may refer to the system environment, the applications the device is used for, and/or the current life-cycle stage of the device, without being limited to said contexts. The method of the present invention preferably prioritizes and rates the security relevant findings and presents them in combination with mitigation options through a web interface, a configuration tool, or through notifications in the control system.
