on December 8, 2016
On December 8 and 9, 2016, at the CNRS headquarters in Paris, the conference Sécurité informatique : mythes et réalité (IT security: myths and reality) will be held. The daily news puts IT security at the forefront of concerns: personal data leakage and economic espionage, infection of sensitive IT systems, identity theft and fears about card payments are just a few examples that haunt the news. This continuous and massive flow of information makes it difficult to grasp the scope of the problems and their solutions.
Sixteen pragmatic questions have been put to IT security researchers to help everyone distinguish myth from reality. These questions reflect our society’s major concerns about its present and future. These experts will each have forty minutes to set out the context of the question they have been asked, present their scientific viewpoint and answer questions from the audience.
The CNRS is delighted to invite you to take part in this symposium, which is unquestionably oriented towards society. Understanding what is possible today and what will be possible tomorrow, expressed in terms that are understandable to non-experts, is the objective that has been set for these fifteen researchers. Internationally recognized, winners of prestigious prizes, members of the Institut Universitaire de France and international award-winners, they have all accepted the challenge of answering a question about their field of research in simple words, without losing the scientific rigor that characterizes them.
Registration is free but compulsory.
