Will Future Vehicles Be Secure?
There is active work within the automotive community to build security into the future connected and highly autonomous vehicles and several organizations are working on cybersecurity standards. Is it going to be enough to secure future vehicles?
Join me to explore the intricacies of securing cyber-physical systems. Challenge the notion that today's tools and best practices are enough to protect connected vehicles and transportation infrastructure. Finally, discover what the industry can do to take security research to the next level and ensure a safe, secure future of transportation.
In the last few years there have been increasing interest in security of modern vehicles with several high profile demonstrations of controlling breaking and steering of a vehicle remotely across large distances. A modern vehicle already consists of up to 100 ECUs and has 100 million lines of code and the complexity is only expected to increase. There have already been suggestions that we will see 300 million lines of code in a vehicle in 5 years. With the growth in complexity we will also see growth of the attack surface. Comparing to other digital or digitized industries such as datacenters, PC, mobile, Industrial Control Systems, automobiles have not yet been actively exploited, however vulnerabilities already have bene demonstrated by security researchers and when that happens such vulnerabilities quickly get weaponized opening door to consistent exploits. With the vehicles that weigh several tons and move such proposition is very scary and there is pressing need to advance security technology to prevent malicious actors from endangering human life.
Learning Outcomes:
Understand vehicle ECU and network architecture and challenges securing Highly Automated and Connected Vehicles
Describe modern end-to-end security architecture for connected vehicles
Understand evolution of the future security technologies
Network Architecture review in context of Information security helps to understand how to actually review the components of network with respect to best practices.

Why Its time to Upgrade a Next-Generation FirewallAli Kapucu
The bad guys keep getting better. They have found out advanced techniques that get
around our old defenses. Scanning for their signatures was enough for a while, but not
now. We can no longer just lock a few ports and feel safe at night. An application port can change everyday. These security bandits hijack IP addresses, hiding behind legitimate people to launch their attacks. Stopping them has gotten harder; our defenses have become more durable. Older enterprise firewalls and IPS are not enough anymore.
DYNAMIC IDP SIGNATURE PROCESSING BY FAST ELIMINATION USING DFAIJNSA Journal
Intrusion Detection & Prevention Systems generally aims at detecting / preventing attacks against Information systems and networks. The basic task of IDPS is to monitor network & system traffic for any malicious packets/patterns and hence to prevent any unwarranted incidents which leads the systems to insecure state. The monitoring is done by checking each packet for its validity against the signatures formulated for identified vulnerabilities. Since, signatures are the heart & soul of an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS), we, in this paper, discuss two methodologies we adapted in our research effort to improve the current Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) systems. The first methodology RUDRAA is for formulating, verifying & validating the potential signatures to be used with IDPS. The second methodology DSP-FED is aimed at processing the signatures in less time with our proposed fast elimination method using DFA. The research objectives of this project are 1) To formulate & process potential IPS signatures to be used with Intrusion prevention system. 2) To propose a DFA based approach for signature processing which, upon a pattern match, could process the signatures faster else could eliminate it efficiently if not matched

Trusted Computing intends to make PC platform trustworthy so that a user can have level of trust when
working with it. To build a level of trust TCG gave specification of TPM, as integral part of TCB, for
providing root(s) of trust. Further TCG defined Dynamic Root of Trust Measurement in Trusted Computing
systems in its specification as a technology for measured platform initialization while system is in running
state. The DRTM approach is contrary to Static Root of Trust Measurement where measurements are taken
during boot process. In this study, since this technology was first introduced, we list and discuss upon
publically available open source solutions that either implement DRTM or are applications of these DRTM
based solutions. Further, the challenges faced by the DRTM technology along with observations from
authors are listed.
A Trusted Integrity verification Architecture for Commodity ComputersEditor IJCATR
Trust is an indispensable part of the computing environment, the validity of any transaction or information depends heavily
on the authenticity of the information source. In this context, many mechanisms for ensuring the authenticity of the information source
were developed, including password verification and biometrics. But as the attacks are directed towards the computing platform and
the applications running on the computer, all these initial security mechanisms are not sufficient. It is essential to ensure before making
a secure transaction that the system is in a good state (or say some authorized state) and maintains its integrity throughout the
execution time. The emergence of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has added to the security feature of a computer. Mechanisms
are in place which guarantee system integrity but very little is known about the state of the applications running on them. We propose
a system which notifies the user if the integrity of an application is violated and stops it. Our system also compares the current system
state with a known good value to ensure platform integrity.
ASHBURN, Va. – At its core, trusted-computing works to ensure that computing systems operate safely, securely, and correctly every time. Trusted computing matters at every level of operation, whether it be the processor level, software level, or system level. Each layer of a computing system ensures that a system can operate securely. Because malicious attackers are able to poke at all layers of a system, securing only one single layer often is not the most effective use of resources.
BKK16-110 A Gentle Introduction to Trusted Execution and OP-TEELinaro
Smart connected devices such as mobile phones, tablets and Digital TVs are required to handle data with strong security and confidentiality requirements. A “Trusted Execution Environment” (TEE) provides an environment for processing data securely, protected from normal platform applications. This talk is intended as an introduction to Trusted Execution, and the open-source Trusted Execution Environment OP-TEE in particular. It introduces the GlobalPlatform TEE Specifications, explains how Trusted Execution is implemented by ARM TrustZone and OP-TEE, and outlines how trusted boot software manages the secure boot of an ARM platform. Finally, it gives some pointers on how to get started with OP-TEE.
Research talk I gave at Semiconductor Research Corporation workshop in September 2017. Here I set research goals to create a new type of security technology to protect autonomous systems.

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:

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.
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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
