    SWISS POST E-VOTING TIMELINE

    This timeline offers a glimpse on several controversies related to the Swiss Post evoting system that was put on trial through a Public Intrusion Test in Spring 2019.

    The Trajector of a Vulnerability named EFAIL

    THE TRAJECTORY OF A VULNERABILITY NAMED EFAIL

    Dealing with EFAIL and the controversies around revealed various areas of frictions that highlighted some general disagreements regarding the management of vulnerability disclosure. We unfold the EFAIL disclosure process through four ethnographic descriptions.

Computer Vulnerability + Anthropology

This exploratory project aims to pave the way toward an anthropology of computer (in)security. Computer security is compromised when a vulnerability is exploitable and allows unauthorized access to digital devices or networks. Currently, such computer vulnerabilities represent a considerable threat to the security of contemporary societies and bear tremendous consequences to political processes, the economy and impact social norms and practices. This "digital lives" project aims to account for the socio-cultural dynamics, ethical dimensions and (in)securitziation processes embedded into three interconnected issues: the practices of vulnerability disclosure, operational security and advocacy related to digital rights and governance.
