How to deal with unknown threats - the story of hardware trojans | Christof Paar | TEDx Ruhr University Bochum #tedxrub2019 #embracetheunexpected #cybersecurity In this thought-provoking talk renowned cryptologist Christof Paar not only gives examples on how new cryptographic applications are used for the better, namely in securing smart cars, but also how they can be used to pose a threat via malicious manipulations of the hardware. Christof Paar, chair of Embedded Security at Ruhr University Bochum, affiliated professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and founder of the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security at Ruhr University Bochum deals with the constructive and destructive parts of the latest evolution of our digital society. ________ TEDx RuhrUniversityBochum was started in 2016 by a group of students enthusiastic about bringing the TEDx format to the Ruhr Area. In May 2019, we turned our TEDx conference into one of the largest TEDx events in Europe organized by students. We connected over 1,000 people at our TEDx event and brought 13 speakers to Bochum who presented their ideas and visions regarding the motto "Embrace the Unexpected". „Embrace the unexpected“ is not just a theme, it is an attitude. It is to look courageously and curiously towards the future and confidently embrace the manifold challenges of our time. To understand the new and unexpected as a learning opportunity for progress and not as a source of uncertainty. Such an attitude is needed in a rapidly changing world, now more than ever.
