Crypto currency of The Future.pptx
IOTA is a new cryptocurrency focused on machine-to-machine transactions in the Internet of Things. Unlike blockchain, IOTA uses a Directed Acyclic Graph structure called The Tangle. The Tangle allows for unlimited simultaneous transactions without fees. Each transaction verifies two other random transactions, reaching consensus in parallel across the network without miners. IOTA aims to be infinitely scalable and facilitate micropayments between devices. It could enable applications like smart charging, supply chain tracking and bandwidth allocation.
Lightning Network
The document discusses the Lightning Network, which aims to scale bitcoin transactions by enabling instant, low-cost payments through off-chain payment channels. It describes key concepts like payment channels, routing payments across multiple nodes, and implementations. The Lightning Network allows for near-instant micropayments, smart contracts, and cross-chain atomic swaps by using timelocks and hashed timelock contracts to securely transfer bitcoin off the main blockchain.
State of Ethereum, and Mining
This document summarizes the state of Ethereum and cryptocurrency mining in 2014. It discusses features enabled by Ethereum like decentralized applications and smart contracts. It outlines progress made in technical areas like client implementations and applications built on Ethereum. It also discusses challenges remaining around efficiency, security, and client implementations. The document concludes that Ethereum is at the halfway point and more work is needed to address remaining issues.
Ethereum Classic - technology progress to date and next steps
This document summarizes the progress and next steps for Ethereum Classic technology. It outlines that Ethereum Classic was born after a hard fork in July 2016 and has since focused on maintaining core aspects like nodes and wallets. It details completed upgrades like a hard fork to address DDoS attacks as well as planned upgrades in January 2017. Core projects being maintained are listed along with a plan to form a dedicated core projects team to implement the next protocol upgrade and research hybrid proof-of-work/proof-of-stake consensus. Additional teams are also starting to form around Ethereum Classic.

Zero Cost Onboarding to Lightning Network through exchanges
This document discusses using the Lightning Network to facilitate zero-cost onboarding between cryptocurrency exchanges. It proposes a new model where exchanges create a multi-party channel and then sub-issue channels to their individual customers, allowing for instant deposits and routing of funds between exchanges without requiring users to manage their own private keys. This could simplify the onboarding process from exchanges onto Lightning payments. The author seeks feedback from the community on how best for exchanges to implement Lightning Network capabilities.
Blockchain Technology
A blockchain, originally blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a Merkle tree root hash).

The Evolution of DeFi - New Applications & The Multi-Chain Universe
Decentralized finance (DeFi) has quickly evolved throughout the past years. Asides from under $1 billion in value locked to over $200 billion, the panorama in DeFi has transformed significantly.
In this webinar we explore this evolution DeFi experienced, covering some of the newer protocols often classified as “DeFi 2.0”. We analyze the validity of that label in context of the DeFi bluechips that made a name for themselves during the summer of 2020. Finally, we explore the expansion to a multi-chain universe as DeFi leaps closer to mainstream adoption.

Crypto & Crpyocurrencies Intro
The document provides an overview of cryptocurrencies and digital currencies. It discusses why crypto is important for information security, IP protection, and protection against ransomware. It then outlines a plan to cover Bitcoin and its history, characters, mechanisms, blockchain, symmetric and asymmetric crypto algorithms, breaking crypto difficulties, and comparisons to other digital currencies like Litecoin. Practical exercises on wallets, transfers, and exchanges are also mentioned. Additional advanced topics like SegWit, zero-knowledge proofs, and homomorphic encryption are included as bonuses.
The Emergent Layer 2
The document discusses the concept of "Layer 2" scaling solutions for Bitcoin. It provides background on how Bitcoin has changed since its inception, including the emergence of block explorers and mining pools. It then defines Layer 2 as building additional services on top of Bitcoin to improve scalability and usability, without requiring changes to the Bitcoin protocol. Examples of Layer 2 solutions mentioned include simplified payment verification and various block explorer APIs that lightweight wallets can use to access blockchain data without running a full node. The document argues that Layer 2 does not reduce security or decentralization and allows Bitcoin to scale in a way that is transparent to users.

Ethereum Classic Roadmap
Ethereum Classic is a decentralized blockchain that emerged after a hard fork of the Ethereum network in 2016. It aims to maintain the principles of an immutable blockchain without centralized authority or human intervention. The roadmap outlines plans to stabilize the platform through 2017 by delaying the difficulty bomb, expanding the development team, and implementing improvements like hybrid PoW/PoS consensus. The long term vision is for Ethereum Classic to become a secure, commercial-friendly platform for decentralized applications.

Bitcoins and Altcoins: Privacy in a decentralised world
This document discusses bitcoins and altcoins as decentralized digital currencies. It provides a brief history of bitcoins, noting their creation in 2008 and the launch of the first altcoin in 2011. It summarizes that while the bitcoin network itself is strong and secure, the ecosystem has weaknesses like wallet security and the lack of anonymity in transactions. The document also discusses the potential of the blockchain technology beyond digital currencies, including applications like timestamping files, decentralized identities, and new types of decentralized organizations. It argues this could enable a new wave of decentralization beyond just currencies and financial systems.
TCP/IP of money
This document discusses the history and potential of blockchain technology. It traces the origins of TCP/IP and Bitcoin, comparing Bitcoin to TCP/IP for the internet. Blockchain is described as a transmission protocol, distributed ledger, and stored value account. The document outlines increasing corporate investment and experimentation in blockchain applications across banking, exchanges, infrastructure, and other areas. It argues that blockchain will fundamentally change the financial industry in the same way TCP/IP transformed communication, and that "blockchain is the TCP/IP of money."

The Future of Tokens - Fran Strajnar
The document discusses the emergence of a 4th class of assets driven by exponential technology adoption. Cryptocurrencies represent the 1st wave, going through phases from enthusiasts to early adopters to the early majority. Key aspects include digitizing value, disruptive growth changing finance and commerce, dematerializing ownership through increased access, removing middlemen, and democratizing universal ownership. The next 5 years will see standards, regulation, security token exchanges, scalable blockchains, interoperability, and improved user experiences to bring cryptocurrencies into the mainstream.
Please, do not decentralize the Internet (with permissionless) blockchains
The document discusses decentralization trends in computing and argues against fully decentralizing the internet with permissionless blockchains. It provides historical context on peer-to-peer networks and their problems with free riding and instability. While blockchains created enthusiasm for applications like cryptocurrencies, the document outlines issues with permissionless blockchains like performance limitations and security fragility. It advocates for edge-centric computing with permissioned blockchains that are disentangled from cryptocurrencies to address scalability while spreading trust and control between participants rather than relying on central entities.

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.

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).
