„Management of many is the same as management of few. It is a matter of organization.“
Sun Tzu
(around 500 BC in Qi, China) is the author of
The Art of War, a widely influential work on military tactics and general strategy that also affected philosophy. In my honest opinion it should be mandatory for everyone to read and understand this book – or to use Master Sun's words:
„[...] It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle. [...]“
Servus,
my name is Sebastian, I'm from Bavaria, working in
Ingolstadt and living in
Dollnstein, a village within the beautiful landscape of the Altmühltal. Beside being married to my beloved wife
Tanja Bartsch – maiden name
Kniepert
–, I work in Industrial/Test Engineering for manufactoring of automotive RADAR sensors at
Continental AG
's ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) lead plant in Ingolstadt. 2018 I was promoted to Team Leader, 2022 I became
Senior Expert "Cyber Security in Production"
. My personal interests are in sciences like from behavioral biology up to astrophysics, technologies as in cars or computer systems and libertarian left politics (
Piratenpartei
).
Focusing on Strategic, Information and Operational Security – in particular to protect our privacy and freedom – I professionally deal with network communication protocols, vehicle bus standards (CAN-FD, FlexRay and BroadR-Reach) and automotive "cybersecurity" (OEM requirements, cyber-security laws, TARA/ATA based process development and implementation of security test solutions in C; including key management, provisioning to Flash or SHE/HSM chips and SecOC in production). In 2018 I became Team Leader Test Engineering (Industrial Engineering) RADAR 'Application and Support'. 2022 I was promoted to Senior Expert 'Cyber Security in Production' (also see
graduation and employment certificates). In addition to this web page I operate my own Linux systems with different services like a SSL/TLS secured Apache HTTPS server or a Tor proxy relay. But since cryptography shouldn't be done by amateurs I go with
Bruce Schneier
's words on hackers: „Only amateurs attack machines; professionals target people.“
And as my family loves traveling around to keep on visiting our planet, you maybe will meet Tanja & Basti somewhere:
„And the sky's the limit.“ \\//_
