Cybersecurity affects nearly every aspect of life today, from transportation to public administration. But how can we protect tomorrow’s digital society?
Since research questions on encryption, system security, and related topics are often complex, in the themed area “MINT für die Zukunft” CASA makes science accessible through comics. Visitors can discover real-world threats—such as side-channel attacks or modern cryptography—through engaging stories. Join Paul the Beaver as he investigates an attack, or travel with Whitfield the Fox through the world of encryption.
“Geistesblitz Bochum” is a knowledge festival centered around the House of Knowledge, taking place in downtown Bochum. Together with over 30 partners from the scientific community, civil society, and the city, the festival invites visitors to experience cutting-edge research. At the end of September, Bochum will transform into a hub for exchange and connection.
