| Papers accepted at HICCS (18-09-2026) Two SECUSO papers were accepted for presentation at the Core A-ranked Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS, Core A Rank). The paper "Enabling Informed Caution: Evaluating an Informative Video with Election Organizers" by Tobias Hilt, Christian Mack and Melanie Volkamer evaluates our informative video on Internet voting with 53 election organisers from German institutes of higher education. The paper "Revisiting the Security-Usability Tradeoff in Internet Voting: A Replication Study Beyond University Populations" by Tobias Hilt and Christian Mack replicates a study to examine whether, and if so, how much usability voters are willing to sacrifice for security. HICCS takes place January 5 to 8, 2027 in Hawaii. About HICCS |
