This blog post provides an overview of our study’s results. Background Despite the COVID situation, HICSS ’21 took place at the beginning of January, albeit unfortunately only in a virtual setting and not on Hawaii where it’s usually held….

In the light of those revelations, I use this blog post to provide a little background on the less-known privacy…

Sadly, due to SARS-CoV-2, the big live demonstration that was to conclude the project had to be canceled. However, you can learn more about the project’s results in this video on youtube. While the…

If you’re wondering what the whole discussion is all about, the following will bring you up…
