Combinatorial Security Testing offers an innovative combination of mathematical guarantees and effective identification of vulnerabilities. It allows testers, developers and scientists to rapidly find and fix flaws in security and safety relevant applications. For its practical relevance and achievements in transferring the results of discrete mathematical innovations to real-world security testing approaches, the project was awarded a prize of 10,000 Euro.
