USENIX Security 2018

The paper  "Freezing the Web: A Study of ReDoS Vulnerabilities in JavaScript-based Web Servers" from Prof. Michel Pradel and Cristian-Alexandru Staicu, both CYSEC [at] TU Darmstadt, was accepted at the USENIX Security Symposium. The paper deals with the reveal of ReDoS weak spots in JavaScript software-modules. These make it possible that a website can freeze with a single inquiry, so that other users would not be able to access the server the website is connected with.

5. Workshop Human-Machine Interaction in Security-Critical Systems

Prof. Christian Reuter, CYSEC [at] TU Darmtadt , is on of the organizers of the  5. workshop "Human-Machine Interaction in Security-Critical Systems". The workshop is hosted by the expert group „Human-Machine Interaction in Security-Critical Systems“ of the department for Human-Computer-Interaction (MCI), Society of Informatics (GI). The focus of the workshop is the awareness of human-computer interactions in the area of security critical systems.

Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences starts with two new Cybersecurity-Projects

The biometrics research group, led by Prof. Christoph Busch, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences, starts with two new projects: The DIRECT-PAD project will explore hardware-based Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) solutions for fingerprint readers with finger-on-glass (fingerprint-on-glass) sensors and demonstrate their feasibility in principle.
The aim of the BioBiDa project is development of efficient algorithms and datastructures for biometric identification, which can perform search queries on large biometric datasets in real-time, while simultaneously facilitating biometric data protection.
