The automotive industry's future trends, such as automated driving or advanced driver assistance, require large bandwidths to handle massive data streams and strongly depend on well timed communication. The Ethernet technology is seen as a suitable candidate to cover those needs for vehicle-internal networks; however, ...

The research presented in this extended abstract paper depicts a smart grid management framework which enables a decentralized and autonomous organization of the energy participants within these grids. Based on basic requirements for operating such systems, challenges and tasks are being discussed here as a basis for ...

Im vorliegenden Paper wird die erste großangelegte NutzerInnenstudie zu Bitcoin vorgestellt. Da- bei wird untersucht, wie die NutzerInnen das Bitcoin- Ökosystem im Hinblick auf Sicherheit, Da- tenschutz und Anonymität bewerten. 990 Bitcoin-NutzerInnen wurden mittels Online-Fragebogen befragt, um Strategien der ...

EU Directive 95/46/EC and the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation grant Europeans the right of access to data pertaining to them. Consumers can approach their service providers to obtain all personal data stored and processed there. Furthermore, they can demand erasure (or correction) of their data. We conducted ...

Many email and messaging applications on Android utilize the Intent API for sharing images, videos, and documents. Android standardizes Intents for sending and Intent Filters for receiving content. Instead of sending entire files, such as videos, via this API, only URIs are exchanged pointing to the actual storage position. ...

Buildings contain a number of technical systems in order to be able to fulfill their task of providing a comfortable, secure and safe environment. Apart from heating, ventilation and airconditioning as well as lighting and shading, critical services such as fire alarm or access control systems are added to building ...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging topic and securing its data and control plane is of great importance. The main goal of malicious SDN applications would be to compromise the SDN controller which is responsible for managing the SDN-based network. In this paper, we discuss two existent mechanisms aiming at ...

The fuzzy vault is one of the most popular biometric encryption schemes for protecting fingerprint data. However, its implementation faces two challenges: First, the fingerprints need to be aligned. Some publications have proposed the storage of auxiliary data to assist alignment, but these data may leak information about ...

This paper describes the design of a tool (called Evofuzz) that implements the technique of evolutionary (or coverage-guided) fuzzing in a scalable, distributed manner. The architecture, design-choices and implementation specifics of this tool are examined, explained and criticized. After outlining possible improvements ...

Die Anforderungen an die Informationssicherheit heute eingesetzter Softwaresysteme steigen zunehmend. Dennoch werden sie während der Softwareentwicklung meist vernachlässigt. Softwarearchitekturen beeinflussen die Erfüllung nichtfunktionaler Eigenschaften wie Informationssicherheit wesentlich. Existierende Ansätze erlauben ...
