The consortium is composed of leading European experts in their fields who complement each other with their competencies and experience. The ForRES partners bring together unique key qualifications, enabling outstanding results needed to achieve the objectives. Moreover, the complementary expertise of the partners as a whole ensures that every task is performed with the most advanced techniques, and thus ground-breaking results should be expected. Based on the long-lasting experience of all project partners, we can ensure that the proposed results and objectives will be achieved in the most cost-effective way possible.

The results of ForRES could be highly relevant for combating fraud and counterfeiting of non-cash means of payment by providing investigative tools, in particular to investigate fraud with a cybercrime component like crypto-currencies, for example by unlocking crypto-wallets, mobile phones and encrypted storage devices.
