OpenSenseMap and Risk-Based Authentication Link to heading

Congratulations to my fellow awardees, who made this evening (and the after-party) a very special occasion!

🥇 First place and 15,000 € went to the OpenSenseMap project, headed by Professor Angela Schwering, Dr. Thomas Bartoschek and Mario Pesch. OpenSenseMap is an incredible global database of environmental sensor data, containing more than 11 billion measurements from over 10,000 sensors. Give OpenSenseMap a spin with its beginner-friendly web interface!

🥈 Second place and 10,000 € went to Stephan Wiefling and Professor Luigi Lo Iacono for creating the Login Data Set for Risk-Based Authentication, a synthetic compilation of more than 33 million realistic authentication attempts from over 3.3 million users. It may re-define login Risk-Based Authentication security measures for millions of websites on the internet.
