New Conference Publication at the 4th EAI Conference on Computer Science and Education in Computer Science [10.06.25]
Christian Krupitzer from the Department of Food Informatics is co-author of the conference publication "Oratio Homomorphico: Creating a Lecture for Homomorphic Encryption by applying Design-Based Research" at the 4th EAI Conference on Computer Science and Education in Computer Science (EAI CSECS).
The publication "Oratio Homomorphico: Creating a Lecture for Homomorphic Encryption by applying Design-Based Research" by Thomas Prantl (University of Würzburg) mit den Co-Autoren Tobias Schneider, Lukas Horn, Simon Engel (alle Universität Würzburg), Lukas Iffländer (HTW Dresden - University of Applied Sciences), Christian Krupitzer (Department of Food Informatics, University of Hohenheim), Rafael Bonilla (scuela Superior Politecnica del Litoral, ESPOL) und Samuel Kounev (University of Würzburg) was accepted at the 4th EAI Conference on Computer Science and Education in Computer Science (EAI CSECS 2025). The Conference on Computer Science and Education in Computer Science, sponsored by EAI, is a premier international forum focusing on the intersection of computer science research and education, and aims to foster a multidisciplinary approach to advancing computer science technologies, educational strategies, and pedagogy
The ever-increasing pace of digitalization, with its collection of data and the training of artificial intelligence on this data, is bringing the topic of privacy-preserving computing more and more into focus. One promising technology for implementing the privacy-preserving computing paradigm is homomorphic encryption, which has been driven forward in recent years and still holds great potential for improvement in the future. The training of future computer scientists in this field is therefore of crucial importance in order to put this key technology into practice in the future. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is currently no course that provides students with insights into the theoretical foundations of homomorphic encryption and teaches the practical applicability and extensibility of existing homomorphic cryptosystems. To close this gap, we present our own lecture in this paper, which focuses on the combination of theory and application of homomorphic encryption. We created our lecture material according to the Design-Based Research principle. We held and evaluated our lecture at three anonymous universities. Our lecture evaluations have shown that we have been able to create suitable lecture material on homomorphic encryption and its application, which we would like to share with other lecturers.
