Keynote speakers
| Luca Viganò | King’s College London | UK | Presentation: Formal Methods for Socio-Technical Security (Formal and Automated Analysis of Security Ceremonies) | |
| Erik Poll | Radboud University | NETHERLANDS | Presentation: Secure input handling – insights from the past decade |
| Luca Viganò Bio: Luca Viganò is Professor at the Department of Informatics of King’s College London, UK, where he heads the Cybersecurity Group. His research focuses on formal methods and tools for the specification, verification and testing of cybersecurity and privacy. He is particularly interested in formal analysis of socio-technical systems, where security depends intrinsically on human users, and of cyber-physical systems, where one needs to explicitly consider the underlying physical processes. He also works on explainable cybersecurity, where, in addition to more formal approaches, he has been investigating how different kinds of artworks can be used to explain cybersecurity and how telling (i.e., explaining notions in a formal, technical way) can be paired with showing through visual storytelling or other forms of storytelling. Luca is also a playwright and screenwriter. His works have been published and produced in Italy, the UK and Russia. Title of the presentation: “Formal Methods for Socio-Technical Security (Formal and Automated Analysis of Security Ceremonies)” |
| Erik Poll Bio: Erik Poll is associate professor at Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He specialises in software security, with the overall goal to provide rigorous, ideally formal, development methods to address the root causes of insecurity in software. In more applied research he tries try to apply such techniques – but also more ad-hoc security analysis – in various domains, incl.\ payment systems, internet banking, electronic passports, smart electricity grids and automotive applications.
