Theses

Generally, we are interested in topics concerning IT security and privacy with an emphasis on human factors. Feel free to take a look at our recent publications for an overview over the institute's research direction.

Thesis Contact

We do not offer a pre-compiled list of thesis topics, but prefer to find an individual thesis topic based on your interest and skills.

As a foundation for discussing possible thesis topics matching your skills and interests, please include the following information in your email:

• Your experiences in IT security with relevance for a thesis such as attended lectures, previous (programming) projects, or private hobbies related to IT security.
  • Please do not include a transcript of your grades for privacy reasons.
• Your programming background (Programming languages you could comfortably use in your thesis).
• Your general idea of your thesis direction, e.g., more theory focused such as a review of existing literature, more study focused such as a tool comparison, or more programming focused such as a software implementation.

We do accept theses (and emails) in English or German.

You can contact us via email at theses@sec.uni-hannover.de

Please note: It might take some time to hear back from us, as we receive a large amount of thesis-related emails. If you really want to write a thesis with us, feel free to send a reminder email after a week or so to bump your request back to the top of our stack.
