Designing Usable Security

Dear students,

First and foremost - thank you very much for all your hard work. I really enjoyed teaching this seminar and I really have the impression that all of you have learned a lot on user-centric security and scientific writing.

I am very sorry that the individual feedback comes so late, but please be aware that reading your papers carefully also takes a lot of time. I really enjoyed reading your papers and have sent out individual feedback via e-mail to all of you. If you have not received such an email, please let me know. If you have any questions, or do not understand the feedback, also let me know and I will clarify. Please note that I receive a lot of e-mails and I am currently traveling, so expect delayed answers. I hope that my feedback is useful for your future papers and theses. 

The final grades and certificates will be issued by the end of next week. All talks and papers where good enough to pass the seminar, so everyone who has given a talk and submitted a paper has no reason to worry!

 

I am looking forward to your final presentations. As the last two sessions of the seminar will be very compact, we will start each session at 10.00! Please be on time and stay within the 10 minutes for your presentation! We will be very strict with the time limits to ensure fairness for all seminar participants. If you have any doubts about whether your laptop/tablet will work with the projector in the seminar room, please test it before. I would like to schedule the presentations in the order of you volunteering for slots during the last session. Please swap with one of your colleagues if you wish to change the order (and let me know about these changes)

Presentation schedule:

14.1.20	21.1.20
Jonas	Sravni
Abhilash	Jannis
Vinay	Rishab

Dear students,

I hope you had relaxing and refreshing holidays and a good start into an exciting new year! A while ago, I added some instructions on how to write your seminar paper on the main page of this seminar. Please read them carefully. If you feel that something is missing or unclear, please let me know so that I can clarify.

 

Dear students,

First of all, thank you very much for the fruitful discussion. Most of you vividly participated and interesting topics and challenges emerged. Very well done! I had the impression that most of you (for the first time) discussed papers from a critical perspective. As you may have noticed, the body of literature in this domain is very sparse and by far not complete. Furthermore, many papers only cover one perspective or population and hence cannot be used to generalize. Isn't it exciting that there is still so much room for future work in this domain? Especially if you feel that the literature is incomplete or that important other perspectives are missing, please include such a discussion in your seminar papers. Nevertheless, please treat related papers respectfully as research papers can never be complete, fully objective or cover all aspects of a topic.

I included all information on your todos for our next meeting in the main page of this seminar. Please use the forum to collect interesting resources on design methods and point other students to them.

Looking forward to our next meeting!
