Dear All,
The next seminar takes place on 22.12. at 14:00. As an exception this time there will only be one seminar which lasts until 16:00.
Below most of the talks' summaries are still missing - you can find an updated version a few days prior to the talks on the CMS page, but I wanted to post this already as the changed timing might be a relevant information to all of you.
I wish you Happy Hollidays and a great start to the new year - There will be no seminar on 5.1. so we will reconvene at 19.1. in 2022!

Title: Metamorphic Testing of Binary File Formats
Research Area: RA4
Abstract: In this thesis we propose an approach to apply Metamorphic Testing to binary file formats to discover logic bugs in programs. We first discuss what metamorphic testing is and define metamorphic transformations of binary file formats. Then we explain FormatFuzzer and its features, which we utilize to implement the transformations. We then show the different possible transformations we implemented with the help of FormatFuzzer. Lastly, we show how we evaluate our findings and how to decide whether or not we have discovered a logic bug with our approach.

Speaker: Katharina Basters
Type of talk: Bachelor Intro

Title: How Blind People Use Mobile Password Managers
Research Area: RA5
Abstract:
Concerning authentication methods, research has shown that many users have a tendency to insecure behaviour. Security experts recommend the usage of password managers for several years, but the adaption rates are not rising significantly. There are studies about expectations, mental models, and usability of password managers to learn the reasons for that and as a follow-up improve the adaptation. In the line of this research it is especially important to take in the concerns of marginalized people like disabled people. Considering the very visual nature of contemporary digital content, especially blind and visually disabled people are in need of assistive technology, which makes accesibility for them a highly requested research topic. While the accessibility of different authentication methods is already relatively well covered, in the field of password managers there can be done more, especially taking in the trend of recent years away from desktop computers to mobile devices. The goal of this thesis is to gain a new perspective by conducting an usability test of a popular iOS password manager with blind and visually disabled people.
