More details:
When: Thursday, May 19, 14:30
Where: Hybrid, i.e., CISPA Lecture Hall and Zoom (https://cispa-de.zoom.us/j/94023681911?pwd=bUgrTlJaR0tFSDlnTi9IMDZzVXNWdz09)
Title: Towards Improving the Science of Web Security
Abstract: Though useful, many web security papers (including mine!) do not satisfy traditional criteria of the scientific method. In this talk, I will provide a personal perspective on how the science of web security could be improved, by discussing recent work which (partially) tackled this issue. The talk will focus in particular on reproducibility and the importance of definitions for web security research.
