Cyber Security in the Age of Large-Scale Adversaries

Science Comics

Using vivid pictures to convey complex knowledge about IT security - that is the goal of our science comics project. In line with our four Research Hubs, four comic books will be created in the coming months that will provide a colorful insight into the research projects and challenges of our researchers at our Cluster of Excellence CASA. Readers can expect exciting stories, real life stories and a CASA wiki that explains all the important terms!

Our comic books are published in English.

They are produced in collaboration with Ellery Studio, Berlin.
