Secure by design: new paths for school communication 路 Bachelor's thesis
Digitalisation opens up new possibilities for communication and administration in schools. At the same time, the requirements for protecting the personal data of children and adolescents keep growing. This thesis shows how a school communication platform can be built consistently along the principle of privacy by design. Suitable cryptographic mechanisms ensure that not even the platform operator can access sensitive content.
