Cybersecurity Research in Luxembourg – Infrastructures and Tech Transfer
By providing high-quality facilities, resources and services available to researchers, partners and companies, our research infrastructures ensuring that science remains impact-driven and effectively addresses the challenges facing our society.
MELUXINA – a national HPC, quantum computer and AI
factory
The MeluXina HPC supercomputer launched in 2021 by LuxProvide on the EVIDEN BullSequana XH2000 platform offers 18 PetaFlops of computing power and 20 PetaBytes of storage. It integrates simulation, modeling, data analytics, and AI, thanks to its scalable architecture and GPU AI accelerators.
MeluXina ranked 36th globally and was the greenest in the EU in the Top500 ranking. Named after Luxembourg’s legend of the mermaid Melusina, it underscores Luxembourg’s digital innovation, using water-cooling to reflect its namesake. For research in cyber security, MeluXina is a means of developing new algorithms for cryptography, analysing attacks and developing countermeasures.
Luxembourg will also achieve a quantum computer, named “MeluXina-Q”, and has been selected by the EU as one of the first seven European ‘AI factories’. “MeluXina-AI” aims to confirm the country’s position as a European leader in artificial intelligence.
LUQCIA
LUQCIA is a five-year project to build a national testbed for quantum communication infrastructure (QCI) and enable advanced collaborative research in this domain. The project aims to make Luxembourg competitive in this field at a European and international level and foster an active research ecosystem by pooling resources from public and private stakeholders. The testbed infrastructure will also support nascent areas, such as space-based QKD and quantum information networks.
The Luxembourg Cyber Range
The Luxembourg Cyber Range is a virtual multi-purpose training environment for national and international cybersecurity professionals enhancing technical skills as well as crisis management capabilities at technical and leadership levels. It offers to national authorities, research and education actors, NATO allies and other institutions an environment for conducting cybersecurity tests and benchmarking of technologies and architectures.
The READYY Lab
The READY Lab is a research facility at LIST dedicated to advancing digital technologies. Focused on cutting-edge innovation, it provides a dynamic environment to test, develop, and optimize solutions for connectivity, digital health, cybersecurity, and specifically zero-day attack defences.
The lab includes a 5G private network, a demonstrator for intelligent trash collection, High-performance 5G antennas, Digital Twin software and advanced servers to simulate and counteract zero-day cyberattacks.
