Privacy has quickly risen to the top of the list, predominantly driven by Zoom’s rise in popularity as their user base has grown as the world entered lockdown.
Their 90 day push for increased security on their platform has highlighted how digital services can adopt blockchain technology to facilitate end-to-end encryption.
This coincides with WeChat’s (Tencent Holdings) announcement that they will be investing nearly $70 Billion in fintech development, including blockchain, to mirror Beijing’s call for new (digital) infrastructure.
Regardless of investments in digital infrastructure, in response to a rise in demand, applied blockchain continues to find its place in large consumer facing products.
The Italian government has demonstrated its faith in blockchain technology, through a $16.2 million investment to combat counterfeit “Made in Italy” products. This project outlines the value blockchain can deliver to provide a secure ledger of intellectual property rights and the authentication of goods and raw materials through the supply chain.
Whilst this project deals in more tangible products, it demonstrates blockchain’s ability to protect the intellectual property of a brand.
And lastly, the World Economic Forum have produced a timely toolkit designed to help enterprise plan and deploy a blockchain solution. The toolkit has been created from lessons learned from over +40 global supply chain use cases –Giving readers an idea of how many use cases are already in play.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
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:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

OVERVIEW
Privacy has quickly risen to the top of the list, predominantly
driven by Zoom’s rise in popularity as their user base has
grown as the world entered lockdown.
Their 90 day push for increased security on their platform has
highlighted how digital services can adopt blockchain
technology to facilitate end-to-end encryption.
This coincides with WeChat’s (Tencent Holdings)
announcement that they will be investing nearly $70 Billion in
fintech development, including blockchain, to mirror Beijing’s
call for new (digital) infrastructure.
Regardless of investments in digital infrastructure, in response
to a rise in demand, applied blockchain continues to find its
place in large consumer facing products.
The Italian government has demonstrated its faith in
blockchain technology, through a $16.2 million investment to
combat counterfeit “Made in Italy” products. This project
outlines the value blockchain can deliver to provide a secure
ledger of intellectual property rights and the authentication of
goods and raw materials through the supply chain.
Whilst this project deals in more tangible products, it
demonstrates blockchain’s ability to protect the intellectual
property of a brand.
And lastly, the World Economic Forum have produced a timely
toolkit designed to help enterprise plan and deploy a
blockchain solution. The toolkit has been created from lessons
learned from over +40 global supply chain use cases – Giving
readers an idea of how many use cases are already in play.

Zoom buys the identity service Keybase
as part of 90-day security push
WHAT IS KEYBASE?
Keybase, a secure messaging and file sharing platform, has
laid out the challenge of end-to-end encryption for multiparty
video conferencing. Only a few large group video conferencing
platforms offer such end-to-end encryption. By comparison,
Facetime and WhatsApp, are two services that feature end-to-
end encryption, but can only do so for a couple of people at a
time.
WHAT DOES THE ACQUISITION MEAN?
Zoom’s acquisition of the crypto key directory Keybase is their
solution to bring end-to-end encryption for its paying
customers.
Zoom Press Release Keybase Press Release
This is a very timely acquisition at a time when Zoom has been facing
criticism for privacy and security issues.
This is part of the 90-day push Zoom embarked upon to make their
platform more secure, just as usage of the platform increased.

uniqueness are guaranteed by blockchain technology. Via the
Bitsamp’s app, the stamp can be purchased, collected, or
resold exactly like a paper stamp.

Visa applies for digital dollar
blockchain patent
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Visa’s patent filing is for a fiat-linked cryptocurrency system
using “a private permissioned distributed ledger platform.”
It describes a central computer, its responsibilities, and key
roles of the system:
• Central entities
• Validating entities
• Redeeming entities
• and Users
Visa’s Patent Application Read the Forbes Article
VISA SPOKESMAN QUOTE:
“Visa has a vast global team of inventors and innovators working on
cutting edge payment technologies. Each year we seek patents for
hundreds of new ideas.”
“While not all patents will result in new products or features, Visa
respects intellectual property and we are actively working to protect
our ecosystem, our innovations and the Visa brand.”

Visa applies for digital dollar
blockchain patent
HOW WOULD THIS WORK…IN THEORY?
The central entity computer generates the digital currency that
is recorded on a blockchain and “may determine that a
particular digital currency unit should be added to or removed
from the blockchain.”
The filing also explains that the payment ecosystem may
become 100% digital and “cash may be removed from the
markets in a frictionless manner” to improve the payment
ecosystem.
“Users may hold digital currency with the same denomination
as the local physical currency.”

Made in Italy – Combating
counterfeit products with Blockchain
PROTECTING A BRAND WITH BLOCKCHAIN
Counterfeit “Made in Italy” products are sold in marketplaces
around the world. The Italian government is now fighting back
against these knockoffs by investing €15 million ($16.2 million)
towards the development of a blockchain-based solution.
In 2018, Forbes revealed that the counterfeit industry grew
from $461 billion in 2013 to $1.3 trillion. The industry is
expected to reach $2.8 trillion by 2022.
Early reports indicate the program will improve certain
sections of the industry, such as:
• The authentication of goods and raw materials through the
supply chain
• A secure ledger of intellectual property rights
• Provable sustainability and ethical practices
• Closer relationships between brands and their customers

IBM – Advancing Global Trade with
Blockchain
WHAT’S INSIDE
…the 2017 Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), signed by over
160 World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries,
projects the achievement of significant cost reductions by
improving nonvisible frictions in trade such as paperwork,
procedures, and administrative formalities.
Enter blockchain technology. It has the potential to diminish
these nonvisible frictions in global business, reduce cost, and
save time while also mitigating risk and creating new business
models. Early adopter organizations have been working with
partners—and even competitors—to improve existing, shared
processes. As they continue to collaborate in non-traditional
ways, they recognize that blockchain brings a level of trust
both among participants and in data shared. This could
include dealing with customs paperwork, cross-border
payments, or contracts for a service.

Blockchain Research Institure –
Solutions in a Pandemic
WHAT’S INSIDE
The goal of this report is to facilitate positive change. The
Blockchain Research Institute’s mission is to help “realize the
new promise of the digital economy.” It’s a new promise
because we’re in a new second era of the digital age, where
technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of
Things (IoT), augmented and virtual reality (AR/ VR), biotech,
and above all, blockchain are providing leaders with an
unprecedented set of opportunities. These technologies have
not stormed the world; rather, they’ve developed slowly in an
uneven and combined or complementary manner.
But, as our research shows, these technologies are now
relevant as never before, not just to business and the
economy but the future of public health and the safety of
global populations. Traditional systems have failed and it’s
time for a new paradigm.
