AI for SDGs and International Development - Basics of AIAtsushi Koshio
This siled was prepared for the training seminar on Artificial Intelligence for International Organizations. Introducing AI technologies into International Development fields for achieving SDGs would be great opportunities to accelerate development. . This material is just explaining basic of AI and some examples of AI application in this field.
Check for blockchain-related metadata: When art is created using blockchain technology, there may be metadata associated with the artwork that indicates its origins. This could include information about the artist, the date the artwork was created, the blockchain platform used, and more. If you have access to this metadata, you can examine it to see if it suggests that the artwork was generated using blockchain technology.
Look for a blockchain certificate: Some blockchain platforms offer certificates that can be used to verify the authenticity and provenance of art. These certificates may include information about the artwork's origins, the blockchain platform used, and more. If you have access to a certificate associated with the artwork in question, you can examine it to see if it suggests that the artwork was generated using blockchain technology.
Consult with experts: If you're unsure whether a particular piece of art was generated using blockchain technology, you can consult with experts in the field. This might include art historians, blockchain developers, or other professionals with expertise in art and technology. They may be able to examine the artwork and its associated metadata to provide insights into its origins and the technologies used to create it.
Check for other indicators: While there may not be a foolproof way to determine whether a piece of art was generated using blockchain technology, there may be other indicators that can help you make an informed guess. For example, you could look for stylistic or thematic similarities between the artwork in question and other pieces of art that are known to have been created using blockchain technology. You could also examine the artwork's provenance and history to see if there are any clues that suggest it may have been created using this technology.
Overall, verifying whether a piece of art was generated using blockchain technology may require a combination of these approaches, as well as careful analysis and consideration of the available evidence.
Reverse Image Search: One way to check if an artwork has been generated using AI is to perform a reverse image search on the artwork. This will help you identify if the artwork has been generated using an existing image dataset or if it is unique.
Metadata Analysis: Another method is to analyze the metadata of the artwork. If the metadata indicates that the artwork was created using an AI algorithm, then it is likely that the artwork was generated using AI.
Pixel Analysis: You can also perform pixel analysis on the artwork. AI-generated art often has a distinct pixel pattern that is different from traditional art.
Artist Verification: If the artwork is attributed to a specific artist, you can check if that artist has a history of using AI in their art. If the artist is known for using AI, it is likely that the artwork was generated using AI.

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.

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.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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).
