Prof. Dr. Dr.h.c. Günter Müller is a professor of computer science and information systems at the University of Freiburg and a director of the Institute of Informatics and Society. He got his PHD in semantics of information structures and worked as a post-doc with IBM in the famous System R project. After joining the IBM Scientific in 1978 he was nominated by IBM Corporation on the layout of the future communication Infrastructure. The Open-Systems-Interconnection (OSI)” model proofed to be a real alternative to the today so dominant internet. His technical contributions where in the still existing mail standard X 400 and the fusion of the Internet TCP Protocol and the OSI-Transport-protocol. The issue of security and privacy in the internet age made him accept an offer at the University of Freiburg. From Daimler-Benz he was entrusted with a security research forum lasting six years and leading to a non-formal definition of security criteria, which where standardized by DIN and ISO under the name of “Common Criteria”. German Research foundation (DFG) appointed him a leader of a Special Program (SPP) in security with the emphasis, to analyze the systems aspect of Security, which resulted in a second – still ongoing - DFG Special Program in 2010 with the Title “Reliable Software Systems”. He received the ALCATEL-SEL professors award for his work on multilateral security, common criteria and digital signature and E commerce in 1997. He served in many political bodies to consult on technology and applications, in the US, Japan, EU, and Germany. He is and was a visiting professor to Economics University Vienna, Harvard, Berkeley and the NII Tokyo and an advisor to University of Zagreb, Croatia. In 2010 and 2011 he was awarded with honorable doctor (Dr. rer nat h.c.) by Technical University of Darmstadt, was named friend of Zagreb for guiding to EU standards in computer Science and IS curriculum, and received the “Ehrenmedaiile” of University of Vienna and was awarded the "Ehrenkreuz" by the Austrian president for his influence on today’s communication infrastructure.
