Natural Sciences - Computer Science
Important security holes in modern Internet technology have been discovered by TU Wien (Vienna). Now the international IT community is working to close them. The Internet has undergone major technical changes in recent years, which has also led to new security problems. The IT security team at TU Wien (Vienna) analyzed security vulnerabilities that arise from the interaction of cookies and web frameworks - software packages that are often used today by web programmers to create websites.
By Birgit Baustädter Elisabeth Lex's research combines computer science methods with social science approaches, searching for clues to understand framing, polarisation and opinion clusters. More and more often, people are getting the feeling that society is increasingly polarised - regarding measures introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic, the question of vaccinations, elections, or environmental protection.
A world record in solving satisfiability problems was achieved at the Vienna University of Technology - it is quite abstract, but the technology behind it is extremely important for hardware and software industries.
Researchers at TU Graz and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security have discovered a novel security gap in all common CPUs that can hardly be mitigated.
How to prepare for the third pillar of science - let's call it computing or simulation? How to keep up with the ever-evolving computational tools relevant to one's field of studies? This winter term, the Extension Programme Scientific Computing (EPSC) is back for its second year, offering 7 lectures on how to approach these challenges for modern scientists and professionals.
