Publikation Challenges, opportunities and application fields of quantum computing - an introductory overview(Association Information et Management, 2022) Kech, Benjamin; Schneider, Bettina; Gachnang, Phillip; Azan, WilfridThis paper elaborates on the technology of quantum computing. It is aimed at people new to this field and introduces characteristics of quantum computing along with comparisons to classical computing. Furthermore, the paper describes the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing. In addition, applications have been explored where quantum computing could create value for businesses. The findings include three categories. First, quantum computing might make a difference in simulating nature, which was also the initial idea that led to the invention of quantum computing. Second, quantum computing could benefit the category of machine learning. Last, optimization problems will take advantage of quantum computing. It is concluded that quantum computing is still in its early stages and there are many challenges to overcome ‚ in particular the challenge of error correction. To gain in the foreseeable future from the advantages that quantum computing pledges, more advances in research have to be made to have a fault-tolerant system. A fault-tolerant quantum computer is a promising technology that could create significant value for various branches, such as finance.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Gamification to support data protection awareness in small businesses(2022) Schneider, Bettina06 - PräsentationPublikation Challenges, opportunities and application fields of quantum computing - an introductory overview(2022) Kech, Benjamin; Schneider, Bettina; Gachnang, Phillip; Azan, Wilfrid06 - PräsentationPublikation Touching space: distributed ledger technology for tracking and tracing certificates(2023) Moriggl, Pascal; Asprion, Petra; Schneider, Bettina; Scherb, Christopher; Bui, Tung X.Components built into space vehicles and equipment (space products) must meet different regulatory requirements; in detail, each component must be certified and sustainably traceable at all times. Space engineers have expressed the need for an interoperable system to collect, manage and route certifications for components, parts and materials that go into space products. The lack of a unified approach in the European space industry is a challenge for companies involved in product development. This research proposes an open-source, secure, fast and distributed ledger technology (DLT) based solution that fits into any IT environment and is well adapted to the needs of manufacturing companies in the space sector. The results show that a blockchain-based solution based on ‘Hyperledger Fabric’ combined with the InterPlanetary File System is viable. The results can guide other researchers and practitioners to consider DLTs when changing their certification management paradigm with suppliers, customers and auditors.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Bloxxgame – A simulation game for teaching blockchain(2020) Dettling, Walter; Schneider, Bettina; Marfisi-Schottman, Iza; Bellotti, Francesco; Hamon, Ludovic; Klemke, Roland04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Storytelling and gamification in E-learning – An empirical study to educate Swiss microenterprises in data protection(2020) Schneider, Bettina; Bontempo Salgueiro, Nathalia; Asprion, Petra; Habbabeh, Ali04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Perceptions and misconceptions of blockchain: the potential of applying threshold concept theory(2022) Schneider, Bettina; Azan, WilfridBlockchain is a technology of increasing importance. It is difficult to build a thorough understanding of blockchain as it relies on multiple abstract and technological building blocks. Therefore, it is not surprising that a number of misconceptions circulate on the topic of blockchain. This paper filters and categorizes existing research on people’s perceptions of blockchain technology and misconceptions. The identified gap in addressing and overcoming misconceptions leads to the theory of threshold concepts. The fundamentals and potentials of the approach in the field of blockchain are elaborated. The paper ends with a call for future research in this direction.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Decentralized autonomous organizations – Evolution, challenges, and opportunities(2022) Schneider, Bettina; Ballesteros, Ruben; Moriggl, Pascal; Asprion, Petra; Bork, Dominik; Barat, Souvik; Asprion, Petra; Marcelletti, Alessandro; Morichetta, Andrea; Schneider, Bettina; Kulkarni, Vinay; Breu, Ruth; Zech, PhilippA decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is an emerging entity facilitated through blockchain technology. It operates under the principle of a decentralized governance structure void of hierarchical leadership, and decisions are made based on community consensus. As DAO and its mechanisms are still in an early stage, its potential evolution and future influence on enterprises remain unclear. This work elaborates on this emerging type of organization through a literature review and case studies of DAOs to demonstrate the current state of the art. The findings presented include a brief discussion of the technology that facilitates these organizations. Additionally, advancements and the common characteristics of existing DAOs are presented. Examining current and defunct DAOs revealed the challenges these organizations should address to reach their full potential in future application areas. Finally, it is concluded which organizations and industries could most likely benefit from the DAO concept in future.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Post-quantum cryptography: an introductory overview and implementation challenges of quantum-resistant algorithms(2022) Käppler, Sherdel; Schneider, Bettina; Hinkelmann, Knut; Gerber, AuronaCryptographic algorithms are an essential measure to ensure confidentiality and integrity of internet communication. The development of quantum computers (QCs) and their potential to utilize Shor’s Law, is increasingly recognized as a threat to asymmetric cryptography. In response, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is gaining prominence as a notable field of research aiming to standardize quantum resistant algorithms before the operational usage of QCs. This paper is addressed to people with preliminary knowledge in the field of cryptography and QC. Based on a literature review, the authors provide an overview of challenges faced by the research community and elaborate the advancements in addressing post-quantum threats. A migration strategy from classical cryptosystems to PQC systems is in development, but obstacles such as time constraints and improper implementation complicate the process. Full implementation could take a decade or more. Until then, our paper aims to create awareness for potential challenges when transitioning towards PQC. As categorization scheme for these potential obstacles, we refer to a well- established model in cybersecurity – the McCumber Cube. Conclusions embrace preparing for risks of improper implementation and deriving a multi-step migration. Special attention is expected to be needed for data migration of existing data sets. As a request for future research in PQC, the authors identified the process of implementing post-cryptography standards, e.g., from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and an assessment of the perceived readiness of industry to adapt.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Exploring cyber security awareness through LEGO serious play part I: the learning experience(ToKnowPress, 2020) Asprion, Petra; Schneider, Bettina; Moriggl, Pascal; Grimberg, Frank; Dermol, ValerijLego Serious Play (LSP) is a methodology that helps people brainstorm and discuss complex ideas through storytelling and metaphors. LSP has been successfully applied as a mechanism for creative learning and team building. In this paper, we discuss using LSP to teach core topics of Cyber Security and Resilience (CS&R) in higher education. Initial results suggest that LSP has a positive impact on student learning, while also improving student engagement both, within the course and in their business environment. While the use of LSP discussed here focuses on its implementation in CS&R courses, this highly transferable methodology can be applied across the spectrum of disciplines and for multiple purposes. In addition, it can also be used to facilitate cyber security awareness or risk assessment workshops in various environments.04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift
