Nov 12, 1pm @SBA The lecture focuses on the potential of Chebyshev polynomials for privacy-enhancing techniques in data mining. Two protocols are considered: 1) The calculation of the arithmetic mean according to Kiltz, Leander and Malone-Lee (2005). 2) The secure distributed learning of decision trees according to Lindell and Pinkas… Read More
Processes specify how personal and business data are dealt with in information systems. Traditionally, process control in this context means prevention, i.e. ensure processes’ adherence to security and privacy policies. In contexts where process flexibility and changes happen, preventive approaches become no longer practicable. This talk argues that in order… Read More

“Verwendet man ein Kryptohandy, ist das Abhören schwieriger – aber nicht unmöglich.” Edgar Weippl im Ö1 Mittagsjournal. Hier nachzulesen und nachzuhören.
Oct 21, 10 am @SBA. This is a joint event with the IEEE SMC chapter Austria. Nowadays, many applications need to handle large amounts of streaming data, which often presents a skewed distribution, i.e. one or more classes are largely under-represented in comparison to the others. Unfortunately, little effort has… Read More
Last week, our annual event for partners and friends of SBA Research, IMPACT, brought together experts, practitioners, and decision-makers from research, industry, and the open-source community. The afternoon provided an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in security, AI, and innovation, celebrate our long-standing relationships, and mark 20 years of SBA Research’s contributions to cutting-edge cybersecurity and trustworthy digital innovation. ∞
