Syllabus

In this course, we will work on innovative privacy and security concepts. While privacy and security are important topics since many years, satisfying solutions are still rare. Due to a lack of good options and its laborious nature, users often are reluctant to spend time on privacy belongings. In this course students organize into groups. Each group design, prototypes, and evaluates a novel, privacy-enhancing interface concept.
