Room: O27/341
Timeslots: Mondays and Thursdays 9:00 –  10:30 

This lecture is taught in a condensed form to fit into the schedule of University of Ulm and German University in Cairo. Therefore, we start teaching mid October and run two lecture slots per week. For the same reason, the time slots this semester are not following the usual lecturing pattern in Ulm, but run slightly asynchronous.

We start the lecture on Thursday, 2025-10-16, 8:30, O27/341

We will use the first half hour (8:30 – 9:00) to explain the specific Ulm regulations and then start the general lecture for everyone. So if you are interested to attend, please just show up on this date.

Description and general information

Each week we will select one new papers from recent research conferences or journals. The lecture will present the fundamental knowledge that student’s need to read and understand the presented papers until the following week. In this following week, the lecture will start with a 45 minute discussion of these papers, followed by a lecture to prepare the next week’s papers.

Topics may include, for example:

• Physical Layer Security
• Security of Machine Learning
• Usable Security and Privacy
• Trusted Execution Environments

Topics will be updated on a yearly basis as the research field develops and will be based on recent publications at top conferences and in journals. Students will also have work on a project assignment where they have to provide a deeper investigation and discussion of a selected topic. This semester project will be worked on in a shared team with students from Ulm and GUC.
Topics can change every semester depending on recent research trends.
