We at SECUSO are involved in ESS as part of the Human and Societal Factors research group. HSF presented the work of the research group in 4 demonstrators about security awareness, user #authentication, legal design patterns, and securing democracies. More information: kastel-labs.de/wp-content/u...

From May 26 to 18, a group of international scientists visited Karlsruhe to evaluate, among other things, the Topic Engineering Secure Systems (ESS). ESS is one of 3 (sub)topics in the Program Engineering Digital Futures in the Helmholtz Research Field “Information.”

During his #PhD, Juraj employed a multidisciplinary approach to make viable #recommendations for policy makers on how to influence people to report cybercrime. At SECUSO, Juraj will be working on the protection of sport science data as well as with #industry: secuso.aifb.kit.edu/Team_2968.php

We welcome Dr. Juraj Sikra, PhD as a new PostDoc @SECUSO! Juraj received his doctorate in June 2025 at the University of Strathclyde from improving #cybercrime reporting in Scotland. Juraj’s original background is in clinical and criminal #psychology as well as Human Resource Management. 1/2

🖼️ “A Framework for Developing Information Security Awareness Measures” by M. Mossano, A. Hennig, F. Ballreich, B. Berens, F. Sharevski, M. A. Sasse, and M. Volkamer presents a work-in-progress framework for developing effective ISA measures.

Day 2 of our Future of Human-Centered Privacy workshop begins, where I present @secusoresearch.bsky.social! Looking forward to inspiring discussions. We’ll cover many important topics such as inclusive privacy, privacy and AI, and privacy communication and decisions. #FHCP #Privacy #Dagstuhl

Your existing data can be backed up with the #BackUp app, which can also be found on F-Droid. The PFAs can then be downloaded from F-Droid and used as usual. In our tutorial we explain every step in detail: secuso.aifb.kit.edu/downloads/pl...

#Privacy friendly Apps downloaded from #Google Play Store can continue to be used as usual, but there will be no further updates, which is why we recommend switching to the F-Droid versions. Updates will continue to be provided there in the future. 2/3

The privacy-friendly apps developed by SECUSO will no longer be available via Google Play Store, but only via F-Droid Store. This is because the maintenance required to provide PFAs in the Google Play Store is significantly greater than on F-Droid. This extra work is no longer feasible for us. 1/3

As one of more than 30 #research groups, #SECUSO supported this year's German HCI event at the conference Computer and Human Interaction (#CHI2025). This event is held every year in conjunction with the CHI conference, this year on 30th April in Yokohama. Thanks to the volunteers! www.germanhci.de
