SBA Research is a research center for Information Security funded partly by the national initiative for COMET Competence Centers for Excellent Technologies.
Members of SBA will be present at USENIX Security and co-located workshops like WOOT or FOCI to cover them for our PRIME partner program. If you run into them, don’t be shy to say hi.
Sebastian and Martin will present two research papers at DFRWS USA, the leading conference in digital forensics. The first one is on using nano-second timestamps for embedding steganographic information securely, titled “Time is on my side: Steganography in filesystem metadata”. You can find a preprint of the paper,… Read More
