By Achim D. Brucker.
We are currently experiencing one more time a software revolution: already in the 1970ies, software-based systems started to replace manual business processes. Today, we are seeing more and more mechanical controls being replaced by software, and we are at the verge of software also starting to make complex decisions that affect all aspects of our daily life.
Hence, the safety and security of software systems is more important than ever. In this talk, I will give an overview of different research in the area of software security for a connected world. In particular, I aim for showing the two opposite ends of the spectrum: an applied approach to security the software supply chain and an approach for analysing security protocols based on formal verification.
