Explore the Latest Breakthroughs in Information Security 🔐 - Insights from Prof. Edgar Weippl (ICISSP 2015)

Keynote Title: Current Research Topics in Information Security Keynote Lecturer: Edgar Weippl Presented on: 10/02/2015, ESEO, Angers, Loire Valley, France Abstract: Over the last years, there is an increasing number of descriptive works observing and describing complex phenomena, e.g., the efficiency of different spam campaigns, the distribution of bots, or the likelihood of users to accept false identities as friends in social networks. These studies are characterized by large sets of samples. Future research will focus on networks and cloud systems; the research methodology will be empirical systems security: (1) passively observing large systems and (2) active probing that stimulates revealing behavior of the systems. The research contribution lies in observing, describing and inferring the behavior of complex systems that cannot be directly observed and have a large impact on users.
