the Research Hub and learn about the research priorities and challenges that the scientists in the
<a href="https://casa.rub.de/en/research/rh-c-secure-systems">Research Hub C “Secure Systems“</a> deal with on a daily basis. They learn which systems contain vulnerabilities, how these can be detected, and which defense mechanisms are being researched. In
the course of the comic, numerous researchers present their research projects to the readers, such as the security of software systems, fuzzing, adversarial examples and deep fakes. The comic is complemented by real-life stories and a CASA Wiki that explains
technical terms in more detail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

projects in an extraordinary way. “With this comic series, we hope to present the research of the cluster to a broader audience and to arouse interest in the topic of IT security,“ says Thorsten Holz, one of the contributors to this comic. The comics will
be published in English and require an initial, prior technical knowledge. They will all be made available to interested readers both
