- COSIC Course on Cryptography and Cyber Security (1-4 July 2024)
Co-organized with enCRYPTON school on “Fast and Efficient Implementation of Homomorphic Encryption for Privacy Enhancing Technologies” (3-4 July 2024) We are organizing the 17th edition of the international COSIC course on cybersecurity and cryptography. The course will be held in Leuven from 1-4 July 2024. Background Our society becomes more and more connected. This fundamentally changes our way of interacting as ... - Paper by Professor Kris Myny and colleagues published in Nature
Recent research conducted by KU Leuven and imec demonstrates the feasibility of applying the ‘foundry’ model, typically used in the mass production of conventional silicon chips, to the field of flexible, thin-film electronics. This innovative approach aims to boost innovation in the field of flexible electronics, which utilizes thin-film transistor (TFT) technology as an alternative ... - Hackers Found a Way to Open Any of 3 Million Hotel Keycard Locks in SecondsUnsaflok – a series of serious security vulnerabilities in Dormakaba’s Saflok electronic RFID locks, commonly used in hotels and multi-family housing environments In a groundbreaking revelation, security researchers Ian Carroll and Lennert Wouters (researcher at COSIC), along with their team, have unveiled a significant security flaw in millions of hotel room locks worldwide. Originating from a ...
