| Hanna Algedri is attending the Cyren Summer School (29-06-2026) The second Cyren Summer School will take place in Zurich from June 29 to July 3. Hanna Algedri from SECUSO will be there this year! Focusing on “Human Factors in Cybersecurity and Privacy: Interdisciplinary Research Methods,” participants will delve into interdisciplinary research methods as well as transdisciplinary topics such as communication skills, ethical considerations, and collaboration with industry. In addition, the group will take a field trip to the armasuisse Cyber Defense Campus. The program offers ample opportunity for networking and getting to know other researchers in the field of usable security. We look forward to exciting insights and new connections!

| Paper accepted for TOPS (26-06-2026) The paper "Hook & Match - Development and Evaluation of a Pair Matching Phishing Card Game" by Benjamin Maximilian Berens, Sebastian Pape, and Melanie Volkamer was accepted for publication in the journal ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security (TOPS). The article describes and evaluates the card game “Hook & Match,” which was developed to improve phishing detection. The analog pair-matching card game effectively enhances phishing detection skills without exacerbating digital fatigue. Empirical evaluation demonstrates significant learning gains for all participants, with the most pronounced improvements observed among novices who initially lack awareness. About the Journal |
| Paper accepted at EVote ID (26-06-2026) The paper ' "In my opinion, the auditing steps are sufficient." - Trust in elections, software, and RLAs' by Christian Mack, Tobias Hilt and Melanie Volkamer was accepted for publication at the International Conference for Electronic Voting (EVote ID 2026). This paper presents an interview study on the software-supported evaluation of local elections in Baden-Württemberg and possible audit procedures. Participants in the interview study were asked about their trust in current processes and their attitudes toward potential audit procedures. EVote ID takes place October 6 to 9, 2026 in Tallinn, Estonia. About the conference |
