Andreas U. Schmidt is Area Head for Security at CREATE-NET in Trento, Italy. Before that he was a Senior Researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology SIT in Darmstadt, Germany. After studying mathematics and physics at the University Frankfurt, Germany, he received his doctorate in mathematical physics in 1999. Research stays led him to Durban, South Africa, and Pisa.
Andreas worked on a broad spectrum of subjects ranging from electronic signatures and long-term security of digital documents to information economy and market models for digital goods. His current interests focus on the creation and mediation of trust between technical systems and humans in mobile situations, and trust in the future Internet. Andreas is an active member of the Trusted Computing Group, published numerous research papers on applied TC, is a co-inventor on some patents in communication security. He initiated EU FP7 project proposals and was work package leader in the STREP NanoDataCenters.

Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT) is viewed by many as a daunting threat. SPIT is much more fatal than email spam, for the annoyance and disturbance factor is much higher. Various academic groups and the industry have made some efforts to find ways to mitigate SPIT. Most ideas in that field are leaning on classical IT security concepts such as intrusion detection systems, black-/white-/greylists, Turing tests/computational puzzles, reputation systems, gatekeeper solutions, etc... We identified the lack of a benchmark testbed for SPIT as a serious gap in the current research on the matter, and this motivated us at the to start working on a first tool for that. more
