To equip our undergraduate students with the knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and assist them in planning their pathways for further studies or career development in the field, COMP hosted an online seminar “How to be a competent cybersecurity researcher and practitioner?” on 2 August 2021.
Cybersecurity has become one of the issues that arouse public concern, along with the rise in popularity of financial technologies and related applications, e.g., virtual banking and digital identity. Cybersecurity threats keep evolving, mutating, and occurring in different circumstances. The research community is constantly exploring these vulnerabilities, proposing new models and protocols to fulfil the security requirements of these applications.
Dr Daniel Luo, our Associate Professor, and Dr Dennis Liu, our Teaching Fellow, shared with the participants the research on smart contract analysis by addressing the research questions in detail and illustrating concrete research examples. Dr Luo also talked about smart contract security from the practitioners’ perspectives and offered professional advice for the better implementation of smart contracts in blockchain applications.
The seminar enabled students to understand the process of doing research on cybersecurity as well as various channels and resources to explore new knowledge.
