Tomorrow Tobias Hilt and Mattia Mossano will present their papers "Why Johnny Checks but Doesn’t Alert: Reporting as the Missing Step in Verifiable Internet Voting" and "Development, Evaluation, and Implementation of SEQR – a #Usable #Secure QR code Scanner". #CHI @kastel @kitcybersec

🗣️Mattia Mossano will present our #paper about a #usable #secure QR code scanner tomorrow at #CHI2026! To support users against QR code #phishing, Mattia Mossano, Maxime Veit, Tobias Länge, Benjamin Berens, Filipo Sharevski and Melanie Volkamer developed #SEQR, the Security Enhanced QR code scanner.
SEQR's design is based on systematic reviews of both academic works and the MITRE ATT&CK database, and it was evaluated with 556 online participants, achieving 93.35% correct answers. SEQR is available, open source, on GitHub.

Yesterday the German Pre-#CHI 2026 started at LMU Munich. The idea of the event is to provide an opportunity for #researchers from Germany and neighboring countries to present their accepted CHI 2026 papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Tobias Hilt and Mattia Mossano will present the results of their papers "Why Johnny Checks but Doesn’t Alert: Reporting as the Missing Step in #Verifiable Internet #Voting" and "Development, Evaluation, and Implementation of SEQR – a #Usable #Secure QR code Scanner". The Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2026) will take place this year from April 13 to 17 in Barcelona, Spain. Registration for CHI is open and the program has already been published.

@mu This is one kind of reuse center that I found on the web. It's something a local library could sponsor. Also, there are places that do that with building materials (#HabitatForHumanity #ReStores).

"What Is a #CreativeReuseCenter?

"A creative reuse center is a #CraftThriftStore and so much more. It’s a business or nonprofit organization that collects #usable materials, leftovers, or surplus creative supplies and redistributes them to the community for reuse. These organizations accept donations from individuals as well as manufacturers, industry partners, and businesses. Donations can be in the form of leftover craft supplies such as your craft stash. They may also include cabinet or flooring samples from a home renovation company or the end of a roll of vinyl from a sign manufacturer.

"Each center makes decisions differently and has different donors and #donations rules, but the ethos is consistent: They help people see the potential in useable waste as art. The creative possibilities of cast-off materials are limited only by the imagination of the artist. Creative reuse is all about #upcycling and #repurposing: elevating and #reusing an unwanted material or item into something entirely new with purposeful value."
