Bochum, Germany

The Cluster of Excellence CASA, located at the Horst Görtz Institute for
IT Security, is pleased to announce the 1st CASA Summer School. The
Summer School is open to all Early Career Researchers with an interest
in cybersecurity, with a focus on the (exciting) topic of backdoors and
Trojans. This exciting topic area will be addressed in its whole
complexity, ranging from cryptography all the way to human aspects.  You
will:

  * learn about the most famous standardized backdoor,
  * work on reversing hardware circuits by using a powerful open-source
    tool,
  * discuss whether Johnny can encrypt  and whether he wants to do this,
    and
  * get an overview of the state-of-the-art memory exploitation
    techniques and defenses.

Lectures throughout the Summer School will be combined with practical
exercises. These excercises provide an opportunity to gain a deeper
understanding of the material presented and to integrate them into your
own research.

The Summer School will be held in English.

===================================

We are also pleased to offer a Women in IT Security Workshop directly
after the Summer School (June 25-26, 2020).

With Melanie Rieback, we have a fantastic keynote speaker. In her
presentation, she will share her experiences with hacking and Radically
Open Security and critically reflect on Computer Science education. On
the second day, Jiska Classen will lead a hacker workshop that is
appropriate for all skill levels.

The Workshop for Women in IT Security will also be held in English.
