Die Veranstaltung wird ab dem Gebäude ausgeschildert. Den Zugangslink für alle, die sich remote zuschalten möchten senden wir am Tag der Veranstaltung.

Wenn Du Fragen hast, einfach in die Kommentare schreiben: Es findet sich sicherlich jemand der sie beantwortet.

Talks:

1 KI in der Cyberkriminalität erkennen (Ilyes Tascou)
2 Solving Historical Ciphers with Modern Means (Klaus Schmeh and Elonka Dunin) - Talk in English

Klaus Schmeh is a renowned author on cryptology and information security, a sought-after expert and has made significant contributions to scientific research in cryptology, especially in the field of code breaking

Elonka Dunin is an author, cryptographer, game developer, and management consultant. Elonka is co-founder and co-leader of a group of cryptographers who are working hard to crack a code on the famous Kryptos sculpture at CIA Headquarters, and led the international team that cracked the related KGB Cyrillic Projector Cipher in 2003. As a public speaker Elonka regularly gives talks on her favorite subjects: Games, Wikipedia, cryptography, medieval history, Agile development, and geocaching.

Many old encryption methods are still hard to break today. For instance, cryptanalyzing a short 19th century Playfair cipher is far from trivial. WW2 Enigma messages, spy ciphers from the Cold War, and manual methods used by criminals such as the Zodiac Killer can also be challenging, especially when the ciphertexts are short. On the other hand, techniques for breaking historical ciphers have recently made considerable progress. Computer-based cryptanalysis methods such as hill climbing and simulated annealing have been successfully applied to break original WWII Enigma messages, as well as one of the world’s most famous unsolved codes, a 1970 ciphertext sent by the Zodiac Killer. The record in solving short Playfair messages has improved: whereas many years ago the shortest Playfair ciphertext that could be cracked required a minimum of 60 letters, now messages as short as 26 letters have been solved. However, many other historical ciphertexts are still unbroken to date.
This presentation introduces the most important historical ciphers, and modern techniques to break them – based on the 2023 book “Codebreaking: A Practical Guide” authored by the presenters.
