ETH Meets You at the Digital Festival Zurich

Zurich, 15 September 2017 - Security Technologies Enabling the Future: From Blockchains to IoT

ETH Meets Digital Festival - key visual

New information technologies emerge at rapid pace and innovations in the area of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have significant impacts on our social, political and economic lives. The ongoing and expected changes offer great opportunities to societies and economies, but they also bear risks. To counter risks in the constantly evolving ICT landscape, a thorough understanding of the theoretical foundations of information security as well as practical security threats and countermeasures are needed and scientific findings are to be disseminated to the target groups.

This session aims to provide insights and a comprehensive overview to the newest trends, useful use cases and research in the field of Security Technologies and is jointly organized by ETH Zurich and the Digital Festival.
