Due to the coronavirus crisis, we are more reliant than ever on digital communication and data exchange at home and at work. But who actually protects our data? And who decides what is private? Is there a right to data ownership? And under what circumstances - for example with apps that provide information on the spread of the coronavirus - does it make sense to donate data?
The evening's two speakers, Prof Dr Claudia Eckert and Prof Dr Jörn Müller-Quade, will address these questions in a lecture and discussion.
Prof Dr Claudia Eckert is Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security (AISEC) and Professor at the Technical University of Munich. She is a member of the acatech Executive Board. Her research focuses on the development of technologies to increase system and application security, the security of embedded systems and research into new technologies to increase the resilience and robustness of systems against attacks.
Prof. Dr Jörn Müller-Quade holds the Chair of Cryptography and Security and is also Director of the Karlsruhe Research Centre for Information Technology. His research interests include secure cloud computing, secure multi-party computation, security definitions and models, and hardware trust anchors. The voting method "Bingo Voting" developed by him and his group was honoured with the German IT Security Award of the Horst Görtz Foundation in 2008, and the software protection method "Blurry Box Cryptography" in 2014.
This event is part of the series "vhs.wissen live - the digital science programme" as a cooperation between the VHS Chemnitz and the adult education centres in the Erding and SüdOst districts of Munich, as well as in cooperation with the German Society for Science and Engineering as part of "acatech am Dienstag". The event will be moderated by Prof Dr Klaus Mainzer (Munich)
