Dear all,
unfortunately we have to cancel todays Talk by Prof. Fahl on Human Factors in Cyberseurity again due to a car breakdown.
We will try to reschedule the talk and announce it again as soon as possible.
Sorry for the short notice and best regards Ulrike Meyer

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
zur Erinnerung: Der Vortrag von Prof. Sascha Fahl (CISPA, Leibniz Universität Hannover) zu Human Factors in Cybersecurity findet diese Woche Mittwoch um 13.30 Uhr im UMIC 025 (Mies-van-der-Rohe Str. 15, EG) statt.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme!
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Vincent Drury
Abstract: The field of information security and privacy has taught us that developing functional and practical security mechanisms requires more than just technological innovation. Human factors play a crucial role in the success or failure of security and privacy systems. The persistent gap between the theoretical security of cryptographic algorithms and real-world vulnerabilities, data breaches, and possible attacks has highlighted the need for a holistic approach to security and privacy research.
As a researcher in this field, I have focused on identifying crucial weak points and empowering all actors involved in creating and using security and privacy-preserving technology. This includes end-users, developers, and system operators. My research has involved working with secure messaging, security indicators, and authentication mechanisms to empower end-users, improving APIs, documentation, and developer tools to support developers, and improving configuration languages and tools to benefit system operators.
In this talk, I will demonstrate how this holistic approach to human factors in cybersecurity research helps close the gap between theoretical security, privacy, and real-world deployments. I will present my past and current work on supporting expert users and protecting end-users and outlining my goals and strategies for future research. Through a combination of technical innovation and consideration of human factors, I believe we can successfully prevent involuntary loss of control over data and empower users to retain power over their security and privacy. _______________________________________________ informatik-infprof-l Mailingliste -- informatik-infprof-l@lists.rwth-aachen.de Um den Newsletter abzubestellen, senden Sie bitte eine E-Mail an informatik-infprof-l-leave@lists.rwth-aachen.de
