Symposium: Softwaresicherheit in der Sackgasse? Security by Design als Ausweg
Die drei BMBF-geförderten Kompetenzzentren für IT-Sicherheit laden am 6. Juni 2013 ins Fraunhofer-Forum Berlin
Wie sicher ist unsere Software? Was ist uns Softwaresicherheit wert? Welche neuen technischen Optionen gibt es für die Entwicklung sicherer Software? Wie könnte ein Mindeststandard aussehen? Ist die Vorgabe von Normen notwendig oder reguliert der Markt?
Führende Experten sind sich einig: Softwaresicherheit muss bereits zu Beginn der Entwicklung, also „by Design“ und über den gesamten Lebenszyklus hinweg berücksichtigt werden. weiter

Fernsehsender analysieren SmartTV-Besitzer
Datenübertragung startet ohne Wissen der Nutzer
Darmstadt/Bonn, 15.05.2013. Informatiker der TU Darmstadt haben gezeigt, dass Sendeanstalten das Nutzerverhalten ihrer Zuschauer mit internetfähigen TV-Geräten ohne deren Wissen auswerten können. Die Forscher stellten ihre am Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) entstandene Arbeit heute in Bonn beim Deutschen IT-Sicherheitskongress des Bundesamtes für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik vor. weiter

René von Schomberg: Ethical dilemma's and the limits of Ethics with a view on the use of recent security technologies.
Wednesday, May 29th, 4.15 pm till 5.45 pm at TU Darmstadt, Building S3|11 room 08, Landgraf-Georg-Straße 2
Lecture Series: Privacy by design as technical and social construction model
René von Schomberg, Scientific/Policy Officer of the European Commission, will discuss the ethical dilemma between security technology and privacy. In order to understand this dilemma, fundamental questions need to be addressed. It is imperative to take the definition, introduced at the UN level of human security into account which relates to our basic shared values such as freedom, democracy and “life without fear”. This implies that we should not take security measures that would curtail the liberties and we would thereby loose the values which we try to defend. We thus have to make transparent what type of level of security protection we wish to ensure, and this can not be defined by legal experts or state- policy without fundamental public consent. All subsequent dilemma’s arise from the assumed protection level we wish to ensure, such as: when is the introduction of a new security measure proportional to a threat? In attempting to define and quantify such fundamental issues, it becomes clear that there are no one-size-fits all answers. Even, within Europe, a particular security measure may comply with all necessity, proportionality and privacy requirements in one EU member state , but may be unconstitutional or illegal in another. Schomberg will discuss a responsible research and innovation strategy for these technologies.

How to make the internet forget?
BR alpha sends lecture of Prof. Johannes Buchmann
In April the Bayrischer Rundfunk broadcasted the lecture „Vergessen im Internet“ by Prof. Dr. Johannes Buchmann, director of EC SPRIDEs Building Blocks, which was recorded in 2012 at the conference “Sicherheit und Vertrauen im Internet”.
Experienced internet users always remind us that “the internet never forgets!” Once released publicly on the internet, the information will not only last but also spread astonishingly fast, often to the disadvantage of the user. Are there any methods to make the internet forget and if so who is able to do it?

Key2Share – SmartphoneS as a Keyring
Highlight of this year’s CeBIT from EC SPRIDE and Fraunhofer SIT
Key2Share developed by EC SPRIDE researchers together with Fraunhofer SIT was one of the highlights of CeBit 2013, elected for the official Press Highlight Tour. This made Key2Share even more interesting for journalists from Germany and all over the world. Among many others, the leading German Newspapers Die ZEIT and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the German TV channels ZDF, WDR, RTL and ProSieben covered the CeBit-Highlight from EC SPRIDE and Fraunhofer SIT. Journalists from Switzerland, Argentina, Brazil and Russia also wrote about Key2Share – you can find a complete list with all links at key2share.de.

Analyzing Software Product Lines in Minutes instead of Years
In our new publication SPLlift – Statically Analyzing Software Product Lines in Minutes Instead of Years (to appear at PLDI’13) we show how to efficiently conduct inter-procedural, flow-sensitive, context-sensitive data-flow analysis for software product lines. Previously, such analyses would have taken years, due to the many software configurations a product line encodes. Our approach SPLlift processes the entire product line at once, and typically within minutes, without any loss of precision. It works for any IFDS-based data-flow analysis. SPLlift is available as an open-source extension to our IFDS/IDE solver Heros. To access our benchmark data, click here. This is joint work with Mira Mezini, Claus Brabrand, Társis Tolêdo, Márcio Ribeiro and Paulo Borba. go

Fraunhofer SIT releases report on privacy and secure cloud computing studies
In its recently published evaluation report on privacy and data protection and security for cloud computing Fraunhofer SIT provides an overview about challenges concerning secure implementation of cloud computing and recommendations to companies, organizations and politics. Many companies request more legal frameworks and risk coverage.
The “Eberbacher Gespräch” is a platform where scientists and economists meet in the Eberbach Abbey to work together to elaborate common solutions for legal matters.
