IMSc Conference on IT Security

We organize a conference for collecting IMSc points in the context of the IT Security BSc course in the spring semester of the 2023/24 academic year at BME. Beyond IMSc point collection, the goal of the conference is to encourage students to deep-dive into some hot topics of IT security, to get familiar with the challenges and recent research results, and to share knowledge with other students in the form of short presentations. We do hope that the conference will shed light on the beauty of the field of IT security and some of its exciting research areas, and it will stimulate both the active participants of the conference and all other students enrolled in the IT security course to engage in further studies in the domain of IT security.

The Call for Papers (CfP) for the conference is available here.

Post-quantum cryptography and transition to it

Cryptography is essential for solving many information security problems. However, many commonly used cryptosystems will be completely broken once large quantum computers are built. Post-quantum cryptography is cryptography that resists quantum attackers, while still running on traditional computers. Although quantum computers may look like a future risk, they are not due to "harvest now and decrypt later" attacks. So cryptographers have started to design new quantum safe algorithms and practitionaiers are about to integrate them into systems that we use in practice.
