Secure Software Supply Chains

Seminare	2 SWS / 5 ECTS
Veranstalter:	Lukas Gehrke
Zeit und Ort:	Vorbesprechung Seminar: Montag, 14.07.2025 um 10.00 Uhr in Raum 01.08.033 Seminar pre-meeting slides are here.
Beginn:

The goal of the seminar is that you learn and practice academic working: literature search, writing a scientific report and giving a talk.

Your topics will mainly focus on research on software supply chain security. Software supply chain security is about questions such as:
- How to address vulnerabilities in context of the entanglements of software through the re-usage of code? (e.g. through package or dependency management)
- How to efficiently communicate vulnerabilities that have been detected in code to all other software that reuses it
- How to efficiently find out, in what way software that reuses vulnerable code is affected itself

Within the focus of the seminar are software bills of materials (SBOMs) and how they can be embedded into security processes.
