Integrating Six Sigma Thinking Into Scrum Based Development Environments
One of the most important parts of a ScrumMaster’s role is to remove barriers. Lean Six Sigma’s DMAIC methodology, used to solve difficult problems with unknown root causes, should be a powerful tool in the Scrum Master’s arsenal. Unfortunately, with all the blogs, articles, books, lectures and tweets on Scrum best practices, there are very few on utilizing Lean Six Sigma methods for solving barriers within a Scrum deployment and even fewer practitioners. This may be due to several factors, including misunderstandings in both worlds, resentment from legacy “process” improvement methods, bad historical application of Six Sigma within software development, no cross-realm expertise, and more.
This presentation will focus on debunking the myths and misconceptions and present intuitive ways on using Lean Six Sigma methods as a powerful barrier-busting tool in the ScrumMaster’s, management’s and the team’s arsenal.
A case studies from industry will be presented as empirical evidence on the methods discussed.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
