Best Paper Award for ATHENE researchers at the IEEE VizSec
ATHENE researchers of the Fraunhofer IGD were awarded the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) for their publication "A Visualization Interface to Improve the Transparency of Collected Personal Data on the Internet". In their paper, the researchers* deal with the problem that Internet users lose track of the data they disclose and store due to the multitude of online services. The prototype they developed, TransparencyVis, supports users in gaining better control over their own data. Via https://transparency-vis.vx.igd.fraunhofer.de/, users can upload exports from Facebook, Google, Instagram and Twitter simultaneously or individually and explore them interactively.
