This document summarizes a paper on implementing protection rings in hardware computer architecture. It introduces protection rings as a mechanism to associate multiple access levels or domains with a running process. Protection rings allow a process to change its active domain by moving to a lower numbered ring through controlled "gates." The document outlines the motivation, criteria for evaluation, definition of rings and privileges, mechanisms for moving between rings including calls and returns, and how protection rings were implemented in the Multics operating system.
Observability: Beyond the Three Pillars with SpringVMware Tanzu
In this presentation, we’ll explore the basics of the three pillars and what Spring has to offer to implement them for logging (SLF4J), metrics (Micrometer), and distributed tracing (Spring Cloud Sleuth, Zipkin/Brave, OpenTelemetry).
I’ll also talk about how to take your system to the next level, and what else you can find in Spring and related technologies to look under the hood of your running system (Spring Boot Actuator, Logbook, Eureka, Spring Boot Admin, Swagger, Spring HATEOAS) and what our future plans are.

Abstract Physical designing of cryptographic analysis is subjected to various physical attacks. It has been formerly evidenced that scan chains introduce for hardware testability open a back door to potential attacks. Scan based testing technique is mainly used for testing and it provides full observabilty and controllability of the inner nodes of the IC. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a scan-protection scheme that provides testing facilities both at assembly time and over the course of the circuit’s life. An efficient principle is used to scan-in both input vectors and expected responses to compare expected and actual responses inside the circuit. This method has no impact on the feature of the test or the model-based fault analysis when compared to traditional scan tests. It occupies less area on the chip and avoids the authentication test mechanism. Keywords- security, testability, Design-for-testability (DFT), scan-based attack, test pattern generator
Lessons Learned for a Behavior-Based IDS in the Energy SectorEnergySec
This presentation will review lessons learned from a deployment of behavior-based intrusion detection system (IDS) on a SCADA network that was part of a large-scale energy management system. The IDS architecture, sensor features, and sensor placement within the target SCADA environment proved to be key for successful detection of malicious activity. Challenges included simultaneous monitoring of multiple SCADA protocols (DNP3 and ICCP) across multiple network segments; monitoring of both encrypted and unencrypted network traffic; adapting to slow environment changes to minimize false positive output; and integration of the behavior-based IDS output into an existing monitoring system/SIEM

Abstract: Important and critical aspects of technical debt often surface at runtime only and are difficult to measure statically.
This is a particular challenge for cloud applications because of their highly distributed nature.
Fortunately, mature frameworks for collecting runtime data exist but need to be integrated.
In this paper, we report an experience from a project that implements a cloud application within Kubernetes on Azure.
To analyze the runtime data of this software system, we instrumented our services with Zipkin for distributed tracing; with Prometheus and Grafana for analyzing metrics; and with fluentd, Elasticsearch and Kibana for collecting, storing and exploring log files.
However, project team members did not utilize these runtime data until we created a unified and simple access using a chat bot.
We argue that even though your project collects runtime data, this is not sufficient to guarantee its usage: In order to be useful, a simple, unified access to different data sources is required that should be integrated into tools that are commonly used by team members.

Observability foundations in dynamically evolving architecturesBoyan Dimitrov
Holistic application health monitoring, request tracing across distributed systems, instrumentation, business process SLAs - all of them are integral parts of today’s technical stacks. Nevertheless many teams decide to integrate observability last which makes it an almost impossible challenge - especially if you have to deal with hundreds and thousands of services. Therefore starting early is essential and in this talk we are going to see how we can solve those challenges early and explore the foundations of building and evolving complex microservices platforms in respect to observability.
We are going to share some of the best practices and quick wins that allow us to correlate different telemetry systems and gradually build up towards more sophisticated use-cases.
We are also going to look at some of the standard AWS services such as X-Ray and Cloudwatch that help us get going "for free" and then discuss more complex tooling and integrations building up towards a fully integrated ecosystem. As part of this talk we are also going to share some of the learnings we have made at Sixt on this topic and we are going to introduce some of the solutions that help us operate our microservices stack

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
