SUMMARY:Masterarbeit Laura Buhleier: Privacy Visualizations: Aiding User Comprehension of Privacy Policies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Privacy policies are widely regarded as being practically unreadable for laypersons and being seemingly written by lawyers for lawyers rather than with the end user in mind. Their length and complexity deter users contradicting their purpose of informing of the given privacy rights and restrictions. Therefore methods to enhance the usability of privacy policies are necessary. Visualizations represent such a method to facilitate quick apprehension of complex legal formulations. \nExisting approaches include privacy icons as well as labels and indicators. However so far no definitive solution has been established in practice. Therefore this work sets out on discovering which forms of visualization can effectively support the usability of privacy policies. To directly involve users in the design process a participatory design approach is chosen. \nThe participatory study is carried out in workshops\, which aim to construct first designs on usable privacy policies\, and open interviews to receive further feedback on the developed designs. It is found that a combination of the different visualization approaches of icons and labels was preferred by users. These findings are then implemented into a finalized design and recommendations\, intended as a guideline for designers as well as lawmakers. \n  \nBetreuer: Kilian Demuth \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit Nevin Hochsam López: The Link between Privacy and Misinformation – A Systematic Literature Review
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In today’s digital world\, privacy invasions and the proliferation of misinformation have become ubiquitous issues. Numerous incidents have demonstrated their far-reaching effects on our digital lives and society at large. These challenges raise a critical question: Is there a link between privacy and misinformation? Insights on this connection may aid the development of mitigation strategies addressing both concerns. This thesis seeks to provide answers. For this purpose\, we conducted a systematic literature review (N=123) to gain an in-depth understanding how current research contextualizes privacy and misinformation. Our analysis shows that the interplay of privacy and misinformation spans across various topics (e.g. social media\, artificial intelligence\, encryption\, COVID-19\, laws and regulations) with varying characteristics depending on the context. Based on our findings\, we identified several multifaceted links\, such as: efforts to protect privacy and curb misinformation conflict in certain scenarios. Conversely\, misinformation can\, in some instances\, help to protect privacy. Additionally\, our results suggest that Big Tech companies may profit from both privacy invasions and misinformation. This thesis concludes by proposing approaches for future research\, aiming to address privacy and misinformation concerns simultaneously and thereby\, potentially contributing to a more secure digital environment in the future. \nBetreuer: Tom Biselli \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Bacheloarbeit Heorhii Topalov: The Role of Social Media in the Context of Russian-Ukrainian War
DESCRIPTION:In the contemporary era\, ICTs have become an indispensable component of warfare. Their capacity to disseminate information rapidly and on a vast scale renders them an indispensable tool in the modern battlefield. In order to gain insight into the utilisation of social media in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war during the period of 2022\, it is imperative to examine the activities of Ukrainian groups such as the North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO) and InformNapalm. Given the rapid pace of ICTs development\, the databases of related literature are becoming increasingly out of date and require updating with contemporary patterns. A number of strategies were identified during the research\, including information warfare\, propaganda\, mobilisation\, activism\, and crowdfunding. Through the qualitative content analysis of selected cases and systematic literature review were presented examples of leveraging of social media to influence public opinion\, mobilise resources\, and document events in real-time. The study identifies the purposes of NAFO and InformNapalm\, including the debunking of misinformation\, fact-checking and intelligence\, fundraising campaigns\, trolling and memetic warfare\, and the dissemination of information to a broader audience. It analyses their influence on the warfare in Ukraine in 2022. \n  \nBetreuerin: Laura Guntrum\, MA \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Bachelorarbeit Lisa Heidenreich: Influence of implicit gender cues on perception of virtual agents and interaction – an experimental study in Germany
DESCRIPTION:Given the growing integration of AI into daily life\, understanding how gender perceptions influence interactions with (seemingly) artificial intelligent interaction partners is crucial to prevent stereotypes from being reproduced through this interaction. This paper explores the role of implicit gender cues in user perception and satisfaction when interacting with virtual agents. Varying levels of agency in the agents thereby serve as the implicit gender cue. Data analysis from 93 participants indicate no clear gender-based divergence in preferences over all participants\, but a preference for low-level agency agents from older male participants. High communion emerged as a significant positive predictor of satisfaction across all conditions\, whereas low communion had a detrimental effect. These results underscore the critical role of gender considerations in AI design\, suggesting that AI systems should be developed with an awareness of these preferences to enhance user satisfaction and promote gender equality. The study calls for a thoughtful and ethical approach to AI development\, ensuring that technology serves diverse user needs without perpetuating stereotypes. \n  \nBetreuerin: Anja-Liisa Gonsior\, M.A. \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit Max Hampel: Evaluating the Importance of Profile Descriptions for the Sentiment Analysis of Tweets in Protest Movements
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Plenty of research has been done to analyze and classify the sentiment (i.e.\, the positive\, neutral or negative stance) of social media posts during crises\, conflicts\, and protests using machine learning techniques. However\, fewer works have examined the impact of the user profile description on the outcome of sentiment analysis for different post types\, including tweets\, quotes and replies. Using the case of the occupation and evacuation of Lützerath\, this thesis presents the collection and annotation of a respective Twitter/X data set\, the model creation for sentiment analysis based on post content and user profile descriptions\, as well as its evaluation using traditional machine learning methods (e.g.\, Random Forest\, SVM) and more recent language models (e.g.\, DistillBERT\, RoBERTa). Since the thesis is still a work in progress\, evaluation findings and implications will be disclosed in the presentation announced in this mail. \n  \nBetreuer: Dr. Marc-André Kaufhold \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Podiumsdiskussion der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung mit Jonas Franken als Panelist
DESCRIPTION:Wir freuen uns\, Sie zur Paneldiskussion der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung einzuladen\, bei der unser Kollege Jonas Franken\, wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl Wissenschaft und Technik für Frieden und Sicherheit (Peasec) der TU Darmstadt\, als Sprecher teilnehmen wird. \nThema: „Mapping“ vor Europas Küsten: Russlands Spionage-Aktivitäten\nDatum: Donnerstag\, 19. September 2024\nZeit: 19:00 – 20:00 Uhr\nVeranstaltungsort: Virtuell\nVeranstalter: Länderbüro Niedersachsen/Bremen\nKosten: kostenlos \nTeilnehmer und Programm: \n\nDr. Christian Schaller (Senior Fellow\, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik)\nJonas Franken (Peasec\, TU Darmstadt)\nModeration: Jessica Buchmann\n\nJonas wird seine Expertise zur Resilienz des globalen Seekabelnetzes und der maritimen Sicherheit einbringen. \nWeitere Details und die Anmeldung zur Veranstaltung finden Sie unter dem offiziellen Link der Naumann-Stiftung: \nHier zur Veranstaltung anmelden​. \nWebTalk\n„Mapping“ vor Europas Küsten: Russlands Spionage-Aktivitäten\nImmer wieder werden Unterseekabel und -pipelines sabotiert\, wie z. B. im Jahr 2022 die Nordstream 2 Pipeline oder 2023 die Unterseekabel in Marseille. Um diese sabotieren zu können\, wird schon seit Jahren die kritische Infrastruktur in europäischen Gewässern ausgekundschaftet (sog. „Mapping“)\, was eine erhebliche Sicherheitsbedrohung darstellt. Besonders Russland ist aktiv im Mapping und fährt seit einiger Zeit systematisch die Verläufe von Kabeln und Leitungen in europäischen Gewässern ab. Seit August 2021 wurden bspw. russische Manöver vor der irischen Küste entdeckt\, bei dem die Unterseekabel ausgekundschaftet wurden. Russlands U-Boote sind allerdings auch mit der nötigen Technologie ausgestattet\, um die tief im Meer liegenden Kabel durchtrennen zu können. \nAls Reaktion auf diese Bedrohung begann die NATO bereits\, kritische Unterwasser-Infrastruktur besser zu schützen und zu bewachen. Staaten wie Frankreich oder Großbritannien bereiten sich bereits mit speziellen U-Booten und Strategien auf einen Unterwasserkrieg vor. Seit Europa mit Russland im Krieg ist\, wird dies immer dringender. In seinem Küstenmeer\, bis 12 Meilen vor der eigenen Küste\, darf jeder Staat das Eindringen fremder Schiffe und das Auskundschaften durch diese unterbinden. Doch was passiert hinter dem Küstenmeer? Das Mapping kann nach internationalem Seerecht nicht einfach unterbunden werden und es gibt bislang keine einheitliche Praxis\, wie dagegen vorzugehen ist. Doch wie kann Europa sich vor russischen Spionage- und Sabotageakten schützen? Welche Staatspraxen könnte man hierfür einführen?

SUMMARY:Bachelorarbeit Tom Schuster: Crisis Notifications and Recommendations in Telegram for Activists in conflict-affected Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Mobile crisis notification systems\, including apps such as NINA\, have been shown around the world to be successful in alerting the public to disasters. Activists in certain countries such as Afghanistan\, especially since the Taliban takeover\, face unique threats such as phone searches at random checkpoints. On the basis of a threat model for Afghanistan\, I propose that the use of a mobile app-based notification system could effectively warn activists in such countries. Messenger apps are one of the primary communication tools used by activists. One of the most widely used open-source messenger apps in conflict-affected regions is Telegram. For this thesis\, I develop and compare three different approaches for adding an alert system to Telegram. Two similar approaches are based on a Telegram bot that can send notifications to users in a private chat or channel. The last approach is a modified version of Telegram for Android with a new notification system. The channel and the new notification system can quickly send notifications to many users. The main disadvantage of using a bot is the inability to use encryption compared to the modified application. On the other hand\, it doesn’t require any installation. Finally\, I analyze the digital security advice that is targeted at activists and that could be provided along with the notifications. In addition to general digital security advice\, the recommendations for activists heavily feature tips to improve security against physically present adversaries\, such as hiding specific apps or using a burner phone.The thesis concludes that it is possible to provide fast private crisis notifications and recommendations. \n  \nBetreuerin: Laura Guntrum\, MA \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Bachelorarbeit Isha Grouven: Investigating App Camouflage As A Strategy To Counter Digital Surveillance For Activists
DESCRIPTION:This thesis addresses the feature of “app camouflage\,” which is an approach to mitigate digital surveillance and censorship\, particularly in contexts where individuals may be at risk of violence or other harm. The growing number of individuals with internet access and digital device ownership has resulted in an increase in device inspections\, or “phone checks\,” as a method of enforcing censorship. This amplifies the need to enhance security measures to protect sensitive data. This research investigates the effectiveness of “app camouflage” in which an application’s true functionality is disguised by an innocuous front\, like a calculator application. By examining similar concepts\, such as the Umbrella app’s “Enable Mask” feature\, the potential benefits and limitations of such approaches are assessed.  \n  \nFurthermore\, this thesis examines the potential risks and limitations of app camouflage\, particularly in the context of advanced inspection technologies. A prototype implementation for Android devices is proposed. In conclusion\, while app camouflage provides an additional layer of security\, especially in situations where the user is not in control of their device\, it is not a foolproof solution. Lastly\, this research offers insights into potential improvements to app camouflaging\, to further protect activists\, victims of domestic violence\, and other vulnerable users from censorship\, surveillance\, and violence. \nBetreuerin: Laura Guntrum\, MA\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang Wirtschaftsinformatik von Alexander Able: The public core of the internet – A literature review of the concept’s journey and its references to physical infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Das Konzept des Public Core of the Internet hat sich seit der initialen Veröffentlichung 2014 stetig verbreitet und ist ein viel diskutierter Teil der Internet Governance geworden. Internationale Anerkennung hat das Konzept durch die Aufnahme in die GCSC-Normen sowie den Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace erfahren. Die bisherigen Normen befassen sich jedoch kaum mit der physischen Infrastruktur des Public Core of the Internet. Deshalb untersucht diese Studienarbeit im Rahmen einer Literaturstudie inwiefern die physische Infrastruktur des Public Core of the Internet in wissenschaftlichen und politischen Veröffentlichungen inkludiert wurde. Die wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen wurden mittels einer Forward-Search zu „The public core of the internet“ ermittelt. Diese wurden durch eine systematische Literaturrecherche der politischen Veröffentlichungen ergänzt\, um ein vollständiges Bild der Entwicklung des Public Core of the Internet zu erhalten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen\, dass lediglich auf europäischer Ebene Maßnahmen zum Schutz der physischen Infrastruktur des Public Core of the Internet getroffen werden. Auf internationaler Ebene mangelt es an einer Einigung bezüglich einer klaren Definition der physischen Infrastruktur\, weshalb bisher keine weiteren Normen beschlossen wurden. \nBetreuer: Jonas Franken \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Bachelorarbeit (B.Sc.) im Studiengang Informatik von Kleanthis Moschopoulos:
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Warning systems have changed rapidly over the last centuries\, from local personal warnings to radio to TV news up to other governmental channels such as modern warning apps. Still\, a rather untouched area in this regard is the role of smart-homes. With their ever increasing prevalance\, they are getting more and more integrated in our daily lives and are therefore worth considering to bring into the discussion of safety warnings. This thesis discusses the usability of smart-home systems\, more specifically smart-home speakers\, as a method for population warning in cases of regional and national emergencies. To this end\, a pre-existing implementation of the NINA warning app via an Amazon Alexa Skill is looked at and its problems are outlined by looking at its user reviews. Afterwards an own implementation that rectifies some of the showcased problems is being discussed\, key features being the inability for location selection and language inconsistency. While the implementation works to a satisfying degree and offers the basic necessary functionability\, it still shows some issues that warrant further development. To be fully usable\, future improvements in regards of functionality are necessary as well as user studies to implement direct user feedback. Finally the thesis outlines some of the potential of smart speakers in the area of user warnings\, depending on current limitations and future outlooks. \nBetreuer: Markus Henkel\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit (M.Sc.) im Studiengang IT-Sicherheit von Luca Roth:  Submarine Cable Landing Stations: An Analysis of Information Security Threats\, Vulnerabilities and Defences
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Cable landing stations (CLS) are facilities that host components required for the operation of subsea data cables (SDC) and facilitate their interconnection with terrestrial networks. SDC have an essential role for the secure operation of internet communication. However\, as existing work focusing on information security specifically for CLS is sparsely available and often outdated\, there is a need for new coordinated efforts in order to evaluate and improve their protection. This thesis fills a research gap in this regard\, by presenting how CLS and SDC can generally be impacted by different information security threats and how the industry is prepared to counter them. For this\, attack vectors\, threat actors as well as the protection level of CLS are identified and set in relation to each other. The analysis shows that multiple actors have the motivation and resources to harm information security of CLS. In regard of their protection standards\, a great variation is noticeable. Especially considering physical protection\, some facilities have significant weaknesses. Furthermore\, the analysis shows that information security highly depends on the selection of the architecture as well as other aspects of physical and logical CLS components. \nBetreuer: Jonas Franken\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit (M.Sc.) im Studiengang IT-Sicherheit von Kasimir Romer: Building a Data Processing Pipeline for Submarine Cable News - Leveraging Large Language Models for Advanced Analysis and Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Submarine Data Cables (SDCs) are critical infrastructures that handle the majority of global network traffic. Despite their importance\, SDCs receive limited media coverage and public attention\, which creates significant gaps in understanding their vulnerabilities and significance. This thesis explores the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in extracting information about Submarine Data Cables from unstructured text\, such as news articles\, and investigates methods to improve this extraction process. An LLM-based information extraction module is developed and integrated into the Submarine Cable Dashboard to enhance its ability to process and analyze relevant news data. The performance of this LLM-based module is then compared to the existing rule-based approach. Additionally\, the thesis examines and compares different LLMs with respect to accuracy\, hallucination rate\, and processing speed to determine the most effective model for this specific task. Results show that the LLM-based approach outperforms the rule-based method in most cases\, particularly due to the strengths of LLMs in Natural Language Processing tasks. \n Betreuer: Jonas Franken \nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang Informatik von Nadja Bauer: Acceptance of AI-Based Hate Speech Moderation on Social Media: The Impact of Familiarity with AI Systems\, IT Knowledge\, and Social Media Use
DESCRIPTION:As the prevalence of hate speech on social media continues to rise\, there is an increasing rationale for the implementation of AI-based moderation systems. This study addresses the existing research gap in understanding how individual factors\, including user familiarity with AI\, IT proficiency\, and social media use influence attitudes towards AI-based hate speech moderation. Based on an extensive literature review\, the study develops three hypotheses: General familiarity with AI systems negatively correlates with acceptance of AI-based hate speech moderation (H1); higher levels of IT knowledge positively correlate with acceptance of AI-based hate speech moderation (H2); and a greater extent of social media use is positively associated with acceptance of AI-based moderation (H3). To explore these hypotheses\, an online survey on the use of AI to address hate speech on social media is conducted (N = 115)\, and the data is analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. The results show that familiarity with AI systems does not significantly influence acceptance\, while frequent social media use shows a slight\, non-significant positive trend toward acceptance. In contrast\, a notable negative correlation was found between IT knowledge and the acceptance of AI-based hate speech moderation. These findings provide both theoretical insights and practical implications for the use of AI-based content moderation systems on social media. \nBetreuer: Julian Bäumler\, M.A.\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang Data and Discourse Studies von Franziska Schneider: From Discord to Deception - Unravelling the Dynamics of Hate Speech and Disinformation in Information Warfare
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Disinformation and hate speech are often highlighted as major challenges within social media landscapes. While these phenomena have been extensively studied individually\, their interconnection\, particularly within the context of information warfare strategies\, remains underexplored in empirical research. This thesis addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive analysis of how disinformation and hate speech converge to disrupt societies. Drawing on the framework of information warfare and psychological information operations\, the research examines how these discourses contribute to the construction of echo chambers\, intensifying societal polarisation through identity work. Methodologically\, the study utilises large-scale social media fact-checking datasets and applies pre-trained machine learning classifiers to detect hate speech. A statistical evaluation follows to explore the interaction between hate speech and disinformation. This computational approach overcomes the limitations of previous studies that relied on resource-intensive manual annotations of smaller datasets. The results aim to enhance our understanding of the bidirectional relationship between disinformation and hate speech\, contributing empirical insights that can inform the development of more effective counter-strategies against these destabilizing forces. \nBetreuer: Julian Bäumler\, M.A.\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang Internationale Studien / Friedens- und Konfliktforschung (ISFK) von Helen Bader: Towards Youth-Sensitivity and Restorative Justice Approaches in Hate Speech Reporting Systems: An Inclusive Focus Group Study with German Adolescents
DESCRIPTION:Youth are particularly vulnerable to encountering hateful content online\, which can significantly harm their well-being. Although most social media platforms offer reporting mechanisms\, these systems often have shortcomings\, such as an one-size-fits-all approach and a lack of adequate social support options. In some countries\, serious cases of hate speech can also be reported to law enforcement or specialized reporting centers. However\, in Germany\, many young people choose not to report such content. While previous research in HCI has explored adults’ views on platform-based reporting\, there is limited focus on the perspectives of youth and their awareness of platform-independent alternatives. This thesis addresses this gap by conducting an empirical investigation through a qualitative content analysis of eight focus group interviews with German adolescents and young adults (n=47). The objective of this investigation is to ascertain how youth-sensitive reporting systems for hateful content should be designed. It examines the barriers young people face when reporting hate speech\, revealing that they are often discouraged by poor rule enforcement and lack of feedback on platforms\, while platform-independent options are largely unfamiliar and viewed as inconvenient. The results also outlines key design requirements and preferred reporting channels for platform-independent reporting tools\, and provides heuristics for creating inclusive\, youth-sensitive reporting systems. This thesis contributes to research in HCI by presenting insights into the reporting barriers of adolescents and socially underrepresented groups (1)\, identifying requirements to reporting hateful content platform-independently (2)\, and uncovering reservations\, particularly towards law enforcement (3). It further proposes high-level heuristics for youth-sensitive\, user-centered reporting technology (4) and highlights cross-sector implications for improving the services of reporting centers in Germany (5). \nBetreuer: Julian Bäumler\, M.A.\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter\, Prof. Dr. Julian Junk
