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

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang Internationale Studien/Friedens- und Konfliktforschung von Sabrina Neuhäusel: Risk Cultures and Citizens‘ Perception of Social Media Use in Emergencies – A German Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Social Media [SM] has become an essential component of contemporary crisis management and communication strategies\, and its value across various natural or human-induced emergency events is well-attested. However\, studies that offer explanatory factors for citizens’ divergent risk perception and behavior before\, during\, and after emergencies – particularly in relation to SM – are still scarce. This study addresses this gap by transferring Cornia et al.’s (2016) risk culture framework\, differentiating between state-oriented\, individualistic\, and fatalistic risk cultures\, to the realm of SM to analyze citizens’ use of and attitudes toward SM in emergencies. Therefore\, an online survey with N=192 German citizens was conducted to investigate whether recent incidents\, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2021 Ahr Valley flood\, which have caused widespread criticism of and dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of Germany’s civil protection systems\, have changed citizens’ risk perception and crisis management strategies\, and how this affected their SM use. Specifically\, it was examined whether Germany has shifted from a state-oriented risk culture to an individualistic one. The findings of the quantitative and qualitative analyses reveal an interplay between state-oriented and individualistic risk culture attitudes\, where both state-provided guidance and personal initiative\, i.e.\, in the form of increased reliance on SM\, play essential roles in navigating crises. The results also highlight practical implications for improving future crisis communication strategies and context-sensitive approaches to strengthening societal resilience\, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of how socio-cultural contexts shape citizens’ risk perception and behavior. \nBetreuerin: Stefka Schmid\, M.A.\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter

SUMMARY:Masterarbeit im Studiengang IT-Sicherheit von Andre Hanke: Securing Cryptography in the Quantum Era: An Analysis of Threats and Post-Quantum Solution
DESCRIPTION:Einstein famously described quantum phenomena as “spukhafte Fernwirkung”—spooky action at a distance—a concept that challenged classical understanding. While\, these same quantum principles have the potential to propel us into a new computational era\, promising unprecedented processing power\, they also pose a significant threat to cryptographic systems should a sufficiently large quantum computer be built. Algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s threaten to break the mathematical foundations of current encryption methods such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography. While it’s uncertain when quantum computers capable of this will be realized—possibly decades in the future—findings suggest that this risk to data is already present. There is a rising suspicion that adversaries are intercepting encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum computing matures\, thereby jeopardizing sensitive information requiring long-term confidentiality. The development of quantum-resistant cryptography is crucial to counter this threat\, with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) leading efforts through their Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process. Although this process finally bore fruit after eight years with the release of the first three standards in 2024\, findings further suggest a misconception regarding the perceived urgency of this migration. Despite significant progress in researching and standardizing quantum-resistant algorithms\, the threat posed by potential quantum attacks seems to be underestimated. Widespread adoption is expected to take years due to the need for careful deprecation of existing algorithms and extensive public-private engagement. Additionally\, the historically lengthy process of even much less complex cryptographic migrations means that real-world implementation may be too slow and does not account for the immediate problem of data harvesting attacks. This thesis underscores the urgent need to accelerate the global adoption of post-quantum cryptographic measures to safeguard digital infrastructures against the emerging and immediate quantum threat. \nBetreuer: Dr. Thomas Reinold\nPrüfer: Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter
