Clear the stage for the „Frankfurt Alliance“

On Saturday, September 28, the first Science Festival Frankfurt will take place at Roßmarkt in Frankfurt. Science will come alive for young and old alike: on stage at science slams, debates, interactive shows, and short lectures, as well as in the science tents of the individual regional institutions. In the ATHENE tent, you can learn how to recognize and expose deep fakes. Children can try their hand at programming Sphero robots.

Below you will find the press release for the Frankfurt Science Festival on September 28, 2024:

At the Roßmarkt, the new science network invites you to marvel, ask questions, discuss, and participate in a science festival

ATHENE researchers present paper at Eurocrypt 2024

Two papers co-authored by ATHENE researcher Prof. Sebastian Faust from TU Darmstadt have been accepted at the prestigious 43rd Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, Eurocrypt for short. Both papers deal with the protection of cryptographic systems against side-channel attacks, in particular masking methods. This involves randomising the chip's calculations in order to hide side-channel information from an attacker.
