Final project presentations

Wednesday, January 7, 2026
Dear all,
I hope you had a nice winter break and started the New Year well.
I'm very much looking forward to your project presentations tomorrow and Friday. Please note that you will have 10 minutes and that time limits will be strictly enforced. Also, please save your projects (videos, slides...) to a USB drive to be plugged into the computer tomorrow. This will save us time and potential technical issues. Please do not use your own computers or drives on the cloud. If you do not have a USB drive, please email me today whatever material you wish to present (a link to a google drive or a wetransfer link would work). Finally, remember that your project will have to be accompanied by a paper, due the day of the written exam (please only 1 submission per group as a pdf emailed to me). The paper describes the project, explains how the book inspired it, and how the project relates to the contents we studied in the course. Formatting is not important to me - I will say that, generally, good papers are between 5 and 10 pages (use whatever margins, fonts, styles you like).
Best,
 
Prof. Brandimarte

Chat control

Thursday, September 18, 2025

Dear all,

regarding the discussion we had in class today, you can find more details on the proposed European law to effectively ban end-to-end encryption here: https://nextcloud.com/blog/how-the-eu-chat-control-law-is-a-threat-to-democracy/ (nextcloud is the chosen EU provider for file storage). There was an important discussion last Friday but I could not find details of it anywhere - the most up-to-date information I have is here: https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366630597/Chat-Control-EU-to-decide-on-requirement-for-tech-firms-to-scan-encrypted-messages.

On Telegram not providing end-to-end encryption by default, see this: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2024/08/25/telegram-is-not-really-an-encrypted-messaging-app/.

And on Pegasus and how it represented a major vulnerability for iPhone users, see this: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/jul/18/what-is-pegasus-spyware-and-how-does-it-hack-phones and this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/02/20/pegasus-infections-on-iphones-more-common-than-previously-believed. Apple has tried to quickly patch vulnerabilities as they are discovered, but it's a game of whack-a-mole.

See you tomorrow,

Prof. Brandimarte
