Master's course "Human As­pects of Cryp­to­gra­phy Ad­op­ti­on and Use" at the chair of Human-Centred Security (HCS) winter semester 2023/2024.

Content:
The aim of the lec­tu­re is to ex­ami­ne the re­a­sons why cryp­to­gra­phic so­lu­ti­ons – which ex­perts agree offer good pro­tec­tion against most of the com­mon at­tacks today – are not ad­op­ted by most in­di­vi­du­als and organizations, and why end-users, de­ve­lo­pers and sys­tem ad­mi­nis­tra­tors who do use cryp­to­gra­phic solutions in some form fre­quent­ly make mis­ta­kes that un­der­mi­ne the se­cu­ri­ty protec­tion.
