Man vs Internet - Current challenges and future tendencies of establishing tr...Luis Grangeia
This talk will address a fundamental challenge in information security: Authentication, or how to establish trust between a user and their collection of devices and internet services.
I will start by describing the current state of play: a regular user typically has at least one computer and a smartphone; each individual is then subscribed to tens or sometimes hundreds of Internet services which are accessed using these devices. Even these services are interconnected with trust relations, such as email accounts that receive password reset tokens. Some of these relations are not so obvious...
The complexity of this arrangement is rising so fast that it's getting harder for end users (even power users) to cope with all of its security implications. Most users will not have any strategy to manage their security, using the same password for all services and devices; but even most power users such as infosec professionals make mistakes that can be exploited.
I will illustrate the current scenario with a dissection of the Mat Honan hack and my own experience mapping the interconnections between my own devices and services.
I will then attempt to provide a strategy to schematize and improve the level of trust between users and devices / services, analysing ad-hoc strategies by power users and provide the tools to create a personal strategy.
Finally I’ll look into what the future of authentication, and what this Tangled Web might bring us: mutual authentication between devices, the future of two factor, the role of social networks, location based authentication, behaviour based trust, trust federation.
Off the Page Into the Wild: Designing For the Internet of Thingsfrog
This document provides an overview of a presentation about designing for the Internet of Things (IoT). It begins with defining what the IoT is and discussing how it represents a world of connected "things" and the formation of a "physical graph." It then demonstrates how devices in the IoT communicate and share data using an example of different smart objects. Tools that can be used for IoT design are discussed, including ecosystem mapping to understand relationships between people, devices, sensors and services; describing behaviors to understand how connected systems work; and creating stories to envision touchpoints from different perspectives. The presentation aims to help designers approach IoT solutions in a systematic way.

Protecting Yourself From Data and Identity TheftMary Lou Roberts
Identity theft is becoming more common and personal data is at risk from many sources. Protecting personal data requires vigilance both offline and online. Some key steps include using strong and unique passwords for all accounts, enabling two-factor authentication whenever possible, keeping software and devices updated, using a password manager to generate and store passwords, and employing a VPN and ad blockers when browsing online. The "Internet of Things" introduces new risks as more devices collect and transmit personal data, so security settings on devices must be carefully reviewed and adjusted. Overall, people need a tailored system for protecting their data and digital lifestyle.
Knock x Knock: The Design and Evaluation of a Unified Authentication Manageme...Jason Hong
We introduce UniAuth, a set of mechanisms for streamlining authentication to devices and web services. With UniAuth, a user first authenticates himself to his UniAuth client, typically his smartphone or wearable device. His client can then authenticate to other services on his behalf. In this paper, we focus on exploring the user experiences with an early iPhone prototype called Knock x Knock. To manage a variety of accounts securely in a usable way, Knock x Knock incorporates features not supported in existing password managers, such as tiered and location-aware lock control, authentication to laptops via knocking, and storing credentials locally while working with laptops seamlessly. In two field studies, 19 participants used Knock x Knock for one to three weeks with their own devices and accounts. Our participants were highly positive about Knock x Knock, demonstrating the desirability of our approach. We also discuss interesting edge cases and design implications.
We have entered an era where with the mere sound of our voice we can control the temperature, security systems and even the color of the lights in our homes. The pervasiveness of these technologies have grown quickly and are becoming intertwined in every aspect of homeownership. These devices, that were once known merely as "gadgets" are now becoming standard in many homes and are in high demand. Are you aware of how they work and what conveys when a home is sold? Do you know how to recognize these devices, what they do and how they work so that your buyer can see their value? Do you know how to present these in a dynamic way that will accentuate your Seller's investment and get the home sold more quickly? This program helps you answer all of these questions and more with a hands on display of some of the Smart Home devices that you'll see in your homes now and in the future.
There are 25 billion Smart Home devices in place in homes all across America. Real Estate Agents are being depended upon to promote these features within the home as the listing agent and to be able to identify and demonstrate their value as a Buyers Agent. This webinar will cover what defines a Smart Home, what components are in place, how do they convey in contract terms and how to promote these features.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays

The use of services from users of centralized
players increases.
To be able to control information with a
centralized player.
Under the constraints of the centralized player,
it monopolizes the channel, data and service
provision method, the service provider weakens
and the reliance on the player increases steadily.

The following problems when aiming at real-time service linked with IoT.
Q1: What do you do with reading from multiple devices?
→ How to process at high speed?
Q2: How do you handle large capacity data such as images?
→ What data should I include in my blockchain?
Data processing of on-chain and off-chain?
My name is Yasunori Motani, Lead Blockchain Project Manager at KDDI.
KDDI is Telecom company doing many kinds of businesses from telecom to nontelecom.
We are about to start Proof of Concept of multi-platform smart contract centering around enterprise.
Today I try to share hints to face Centralized Player like Amazon by decentralized way.
I would like to talk about this theme, "Next-Generation Alliance Infrastructure Utilizing Smart Contract".
Before we get started, I like to ask one question.
Are you centralized or decentralized?
In today's theme, I would like to tell you that the approach of the alliance will change in the future when providing services.
Speaking of the top companies in centralized service deployment,
Amazon would be the first company that most people can think of.
The movement of Amazonization around 2017 was so fast,
it “AMAZONIZED” in various fields from internet to real life and fashion to smart home.
Lastly, Amazon Key, In-home delivery smart lock.
The Amazon key is an innovative service that personalizes and delivers various services especially from a user's point of view, and KDDI are also paying attention as a company promoting smart homes project.
I believe that service planners and developers are struggling with how to compete with such a centralized gigantic enterprise.
Of course amazonizion is ongoing rapidly in Japan too.
Meanwhile, Japan's telecommunications business has largely been deployed in three companies,
and their contract base is like this.
And each business is promoting business relationship such as 5G and non-telecommunication business.
In the field of telecommunications business example, there is a connected car.
With the experiment using Samsung and the 5G band,
we successfully handed over during the vehicle running at a speed of over 190 kilometer per hour,
which is the fastest speed in the world.
The next example is AR. In the cafe business I can develop tea with a character of Hatsune Miku for a bit of lonely service.
This is a ceremony in which Hatsune Miku gives the donation money to the mayor
by donating a part of the revenue earned by Hatsune Miku's cafe.
Actually, it is only pretending that the mayor has received it.
Japan is such a strange but cool country, right?
the TV shopping program which is putting our emphasis on our company is the number one in Japan.
The mobile bank business has been offering for more than 10 years.
In the financial business, we are promoting insurance
and credit card business even outside banks, and debit card will be around 20 million.
The digital content business of music, books, and films brings significant revenue on the scale of 15 million paid customers.
Finally Smart Home.
We are promoting business to introduce IoT to communication customers to provide a more comfortable life.
Like I said, we were able to develop a wide variety of non-communication businesses from the telecommunications business
because there were three foundations and an alliance / acquisition strategy.
The first is the touchpoint.The second is user base.The third one is the settlement base.
We expanded the economic zone using Data and ID and such settlement to collect as set discount with communication fee
by alliances and acquisitions to businesses that are engaged in non-communication business.
On the other hand, we added new services, one after another, our whole aspect of our service has been siloed, failed to serve better UX because of it’s different style of services.
So now, how to change this situation is a major issue for us.
The next theme is about the direction of the alliance base.
When you are planning and developing services, do you think with a centralized approach? Or is it a decentralized approach?
When planning the service, the presence of Amazon can not be ignored, and thinking of these questions gives everyone a headache.
How do you fight against them
or Do you want to coordinate with them?
In centralized companies like Amazon, Platformer controls user contacts and data utilization,
whereas in the case of decentralized companies each company is the leading role under the fixed rule, utilizing the data equally,
I believe that we can take an approach to autonomously utilize user contacts and services among companies while utilizing user contacts.
I would like to describe it in more detail.
Amazon aims to "improve user experience",
they are expanding their services by developing their platforms and participating in a number of businesses.
Businesses are diverse, including sales, service, IoT devices.
In addition, they are preparing platforms related to AI and IoT to support them,
and we are deploying Amazon services in a richer way.
The relationship is summarized as follows.
Receiving orders and providing services to end users under the brand of Amazon
can not fundamentally receive orders and provide services on their own.
The advantage of the business side at that time is as follows.
The use of services from users of centralized players increases.
To be able to control information with a centralized player.
On the other hand, the disadvantage is - Under the constraints of the centralized player, it monopolizes the channel, data and service provision method, the service provider weakens and the reliance on the player increases steadily.
What about decentralized alliance base?
Each business will be linked to related alliances and will be provided in combination.
For example,
Those Telecom, Smart Home, Real estate, and Finance are connected with blockchain inside specific business and outside it.
By then, We can collaborate many kinds of partners.
In the latest Planning PoC, We will verify three issues.
First is “Interconnection of blockchain between businesses”
Second is “Automatic enforcement of Contract between multiple businesses”
Third is “Utilizing data on the blockchain by AI or API connection”
Throgh those blockchain network, We aim at maximizing our ecosystem.
The relationship is summarized as follows.
A service provider can offer it in an autonomous manner through its own channel in combination with the service of a business chain connected by a blockchain.
If new businesses which are trying to provide services also join the blockchain consortium, they can immediately provide new services using consortium data and other businesses as their own services.
This will improve the willingness of new service providers to participate and increase the possibility of network expansion.
The good part of this method on the business side is that there is no restriction on the provision of channels and services. So service providers can maintain business independence.
On the user side, it is possible to use various services from the channels familiar to us on a daily basis, and it has the merit that services can be deployed with existing users.
Also, there is no difference in data utilization accumulated in blockchains even in later generations, and it will be a great merit to be able to deploy services.
Finally I would like to introduce our company's POC for decentralized alliances.
The Proof of Consept, currently developing in our case is combining a smartphone repair business
and a smartphone reuse business replacing a traditional centralized database to a blockchain
in order to each smart contract is connected and automated.
We build the interledger between Enterprise Ethereum Quorum and Hyperledger fabric to realize multiplatform business for many kinds of alliances.
Actually we assume our repair customer make deal with Delivery company and repair company and so on in Quorum while our Reuse customer make deal with many kinds of franchise store partners.
Next, I would like to introduce the possibilities of smart home use cases using blockchains.
This is picture for decentralized connected Smart Home network.
For Example, Dad, mother and 4year old daughter case.
at 6:00am,wake up. at 10:30am
A neighbor's family visits 8 people together with family.
Recognize that many people are visiting
Automatically search for neighborhood food delivery service and suggest

Recognize that the whole family is idle
Recognize that the distant family is in the same state
Automatically suggest a video call with a family, whose time is not suitable usually, and start a video call
"A house and a distant house are connected"
at 6:00pm,Relax in the living room together as a family
Recognize that the whole family is idle
Recognize that the distant family is in the same state
Automatically suggest a video call with a family, whose time is not suitable usually, and start a video call."A house and a distant house are connected"
at 7:00pm,A courier arrives when you are away
Door opening with smart lock only on smartphone of delivery staff scheduled for delivery
Recognize that another person opened a key when he was away, activate the camera, automatic recording
Automatically send notification to smartphone, start video streamingat 7:00pm Abnormal pattern,Detect intruder
Recognize people trying to break into the house
Automatically contact the security company, the security company comes
Automatically send notification to smartphone, start video streaming
Camera image is recorded automatically
at 8:00pm,
Coming home
Recognize that family arrives home
Automatically turn off going out security mode
at 9:00pm,
Going to bed
finally at 11:00pm,
The child is sleepwalking around the entrance
Recognize that children are about to go outside
Automatically lock the door so that the children can not open the door
I think that these are the following problems when aiming at real-time service linked with IoT.
Q1: What do you do with reading from multiple devices?
→ How to process at high speed?
Q2: How do you handle large capacity data such as images?
→ What data should I include in my blockchain?
Data processing of on-chain and off-chain?
Even though there are many issues as such, I would like to continue promoting a new business as a “decentralized guy” from now on.
Thank you for listening!
