| Paper accepted at EuroS&P 2026 (25-03-2026) The paper "Implementing and Evaluating the Usability of Reliable Voter Complaints in E2E Verifiable Remote Electronic Voting" by Tobias Hilt, Christian Mack, Philipp Matheis, Benjamin Berens, Tobias Länge, Rolf Haenni, Reto E. Koenig, Philipp Locher, and Melanie Volkamer was accepted for publication at the IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P 2026). The paper examines a novel approach that allows voter to reliably file complaints in internet voting and introduces several usability improvements for an existing internet voting system. Results show that 73% of voters were able to successfully utelize this novel approach and the overall usability of the internet voting system could be slightly improved. EuroS&P 2026 takes place July 06 to 10, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal. About EuroS&P |
| Girl's Day 2026 with contribution of Wir forschen digital (23-03-2026) “App Development Made Easy – Create an App That Recognizes Your Emotions” is the title of the workshop for the Girl's Day on April 23rd, 2026, offered in collaboration with the Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (WIN), human-centered systems lab, the KD2Lab, and the Wir Forschen Digital initiative. In the workshop, participants will develop an app based on biosignals such as heart rate or eye movements. Working in small teams, they will first gather requirements for the app idea. Building on this, they will then develop and test an initial prototype. Participants must be at least 13 years old, and participation is limited to 12 participants. More information |
