Programming Usable Security Intervention

In this subject, students develop a part of coding, an extension, or another programming task dealing with various usable security interventions, eg as an extension. Eg TORPEDO (  https://secuso.aifb.kit.edu/english/TORPEDO.php  ) or PassSec + (  https://secuso.aifb.kit.edu/english/PassSecPlus.php  ). Just as before, students are provided with a point list of goals, containing both basic features mandatory to pass the course and more advanced ones that heighten the final grade.

• Portfolio Graphical Recognition-Based Passwords with Gamepads
• Improving the PassSec+ browser extension by investigating a security vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox Relay
• Development of a tool for the automated search for tweets on the topic of "phishing"
• Hacking TORPEDO
• Restructuring TORPEDO

Please, note that registration is not required to participate in the kick-off meeting.
