The Computer Science Department at the University of Iceland was at the European Researchers' Night 2026 / Vísindavaka 2026 on 26. September 2026, 12:00-17:00, at Laugardalshöll in Reykjavik.

The above picture with the crowd shows only a quarter of the floor.

The Computer Science Department had a couple of booths there, showcasing our activities in a way accessible to the general public. More than 10 000 visitors came and many tried our interactive exhibitions:

Gagnabær ("Datatown") digital twin together with a physical LEGO model of Iceland representing critical infrastructure. Users can interactively defend or attack critical infrastructure and learn that services influence each other: what does it help to defend the hospital if it does not get electricity (after running out of emergency power supply) or water because the utilities are under attack?!

The Ambassador of the European Union to Iceland, H.E. Clara Ganslandt, did visit our booth as this project is co-funded by the European Union and the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre.The video snippet below is an excerpt from the full video available at the Facebook page ESB - Evrópusambandið á Íslandi / European Union in Iceland:

Food supply chains can not only be affected by pandemics, but also by cyber attacks: simulate when shops in Iceland would run out of stock.

As University of Iceland is recognized as a global leader in remote sensing (according to the Shanghai subject ranking), we had a demo where Landsat satellite images that contain features that look like letters in the alphabet were used, so that could find Your Name in Landsat images. In the example, you can see the name Helmut spelled using, e.g., a U-shaped iceberg from Greenland.

AI aquarium: draw you favorite underwater animal, take a photo, upload it to an AI, and see it swim and spawn in the virtual aquarium.

The Computer Science Department has been for years the driving technical force behind the First Lego League Ísland. Now, this has phased out and we are now backing the World Robot Olympiad which is more open to other technologies and age groups.

Behind (or in fact: above) the scenes: the organisers of Vísindavaka asked me to count the number of visitors by having a camera at the entrance that counts people entering and exiting. This ran GDPR-compliant (counting was done in real time and no video was stored, nor were people re-identified). This year, I had a camera with a better quality (an old Pixel 3a smartphone running as webcam), so the software was able to count significantly more visitors -- but still, the software was more reliable in counting people exiting than entering and anecdotical evidence showed that still not all people leaving were counted, so the counted number of visitors is a lower bound. However, people were not re-identified, so they have been counted twice if they left and come back again (but I have the feeling that -- except for the staff -- this was not often the case). Note to self: For next year, using a tripod clamp for the smartphone and tripod might ease camera adjustment so that also people at the left and right border get counted properly. Also, connection via USB C might help to provide more charging power as the power-limited USB A connection did lead to the smartphones battery being almost empty when running from 12:00 to 17:00

Scope

The 17th EAI International Conference on Digital Forensics & Cyber
Crime (ICDF2C) will be held on 8-10 September, 2026, in Reykjavik
(Iceland). This three-day event is expected to attract over 100
participants, including academics, practitioners, criminologists (or
law enforcement) and vendors, providing business and intellectual
engagement opportunities among attendees. The conference is organized
by the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI).

This conference's theme is cyber analytics and forensics in the era of
emerging threats. Novel cyber threats are continuously emerging,
catalysed by the rapid deployment of Large Language Models and other
AI across many domains which increases the threat surface in many
sectors such as Smart Industry, Fintech and digital government. The
focus of this conference is to provide a platform for discussing these
emerging threats and to identify priorities for the community to
target with the next generation of cyber analytics. We particularly
welcome research which studies the dynamics between human factors and
AI technologies and the corresponding impact upon cybersecurity and
forensics.

We encourage the authors to use the Posters and Demos venue as a way to 
open up discussions with the ICDF2C community about their early work in 
progress and develop the work for future collaborations. 
Representatives from industry, including established companies and 
startups, are warmly welcome to showcase products and services that 
are related to the topics of the conference.


Workshop: Trust and Deception as Security Primitives
Social engineering remains one of the most effective attack vectors 
against modern socio-technical systems, yet it is still poorly integrated 
into formal security engineering practice. This workshop advances a 
unifying perspective that treats trust and deception as first-class 
security primitives—measurable, attackable, and engineerable system 
properties across human, organizational, and AI-mediated environments.

The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working on 
adversarial modeling, trust measurement, AI-mediated influence, 
detection systems, and human-in-the-loop defenses. 
Participants will examine how social engineering threats can be 
rigorously modeled, empirically evaluated, and mitigated using 
computational, organizational, and policy-aware approaches.

Through paper presentations and structured breakout discussions, 
the workshop aims to (1) consolidate fragmented research threads 
into a coherent socio-technical security framework, 
(2) identify shared metrics and evaluation challenges, and 
(3) define a research roadmap for defensible, trustworthy systems 
in high-consequence domains. 


Tutorial: Autonomous Drone Systems Cybersecurity and Threat Intelligence
An intensive 4-hour program exploring critical intersections of 
autonomous drone technologies, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and 
strategic threat intelligence. Designed for cybersecurity professionals, 
intelligence analysts, and technology researchers seeking advanced 
insights into drone system exploitation and defensive strategies.

Registration needed

ICANN (the organisation that, e.g., decided that there is an .is top-level domain) will offer a technical training on DNSSEC that is hosted by the Computer Science department of University of Iceland.

DNSSEC uses cryptography to guarantee that not everyone can fake an answer to a request to resolve, e.g. island.is, to an IP address, i.e. only the authoritative owner of that domain will be able to return the legitimate IP address.

This training is for everyone who now or in future is in charge of a domain and wants to use DNSSEC to secure the address resolution of that domain -- or for those who just want to learn about how the Domain Name System (DNS) works.

To quote one of our MSc students in Cybersecurity who participated at such a training event last year:
“It was really interesting to see everything that goes into securing the DNS. Really good training with talented experts! Highly recommend going!”

Topics

Introduction / DNS Recap

• Zone Files, Resource Records and roles
• Reverse DNS 
• DNS Resolution Process and debugging
• TSIG and ACL

DNSSEC

• Signing
• Validation
• Non-existence
• Key management
• Chain of Trust
• Policy Considerations
• Setting up validation in a Recursive Server
• Signing Zones (Authoritative Servers)
• DNSSEC operations and maintenance
• Tools: Troubleshooting and Monitoring
• Overview of DANE, TLS and DNSSEC

Labs

• DNS/DNSSEC debugging 
• Zone creation and configuration: primary and secondaries
• Zone signing: manualand automatic  signing
• Establish and confirm chain of trust
• DNSSEC validation (recursive resolver)

Trainer: Ulrich Wisser, ICANN Technical Engagement Manager, Europe. The training will be in English language.

For the labs, you need to bring your own laptop. ICANN will provide you with virtual machines. As WiFi is only provided via Eduroam, you need to use your phone as hotspot if you have no educational account, e.g. from a university.

Dates and Location

Tuesday and Wednesday, 3th and 4th of February 2026, 9:00-17:00, Askja building, University of Iceland

Registration

Limited space available for students (as it is also open for industry people): first-come-first-served.
