[HGI-News-de] HGI-Kolloquium am 26.06.2014: "When Cryptography is not the Answer (even when it is)"

[Newsletter des Horst Görtz Instituts]

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

im Rahmen des HGI-Kolloquiums, organisiert von der Arbeitsgruppe
Sichere Hardware und dem Horst-Görtz-Institut der Ruhr-Universität
Bochum, wird Orr Dunkelmann von der University of Haifa am nächsten
Donnerstag, den 26. Juni 2014 um 12 Uhr s.t. in Raum ID 03/463 über
folgendes Thema referieren:

"When Cryptography is not the Answer (even when it is)": Since modern
cryptography has emerged in the mid 70's, it developed a huge set of
solutions to many of the security problems: from secure algorithms for
communication, to identification of entities, from integrity assurance
for programs, to methods for evaluating a function without revealing it.

Despite these advances, even the security challenges that were solved by
cryptography are still affecting our everyday life: from using old and
insecure algorithms, through key management issues, to problems in the
interaction between the cryptography and the system where it resides.

In this talk we shall consider several examples of such issues, of the
gaps between "what is already solved by cryptographers" and "what the
security professionals see as unsolved (if not unsolvable)". We will try
to isolate the sources for such problems, and look for the changes, both
in the technical level and in the perception level, needed from both
sides of the security equation (cryptographers and security
professionals), to overcome these issues in the future.

Zu diesem und sämtlichen weiteren Vorträgen des HGI-Kolloquiums
sind alle Studenten und Interessierten herzlich eingeladen!
Eine Voranmeldung ist nicht erforderlich!
