The document discusses Canada's Controlled Goods Program (CGP), which regulates controlled goods and technologies. The CGP aims to safeguard controlled items within Canada and prevent unauthorized access. It has inspection and enforcement powers. Controlled items include military-grade munitions, strategic technologies, and missile systems. Universities must register if handling these goods, designate officials, and implement security plans to track individuals and ensure goods are secure. Records must be maintained and personnel trained. The program audits compliance to enforce export controls and prevent unauthorized access to controlled goods and technologies.

Digital health is all around us and the health tech sector has been taking off like a rocket. Spurred by advancements in AI, ML, and mobile device tech combined with challenges brought on by everything from the needs of daily health monitoring to the challenges that came along with the pandemic. These worlds are colliding, innovation in the sector is exploding, and disruptive change to healthcare will only accelerate.
Amidst all of this massive growth, startups need to maximize their use of funding and protect their IP from being copied. Patents are the strongest form of protection against this and one of the best possible returns on investment.
At the most basic level, if your innovations drive your product and your business, it’s essential to develop a patent strategy that protects these innovations, increases your valuation, and extends your company’s longevity.
So, growth is incredible. Patents provide great protection and can yield incredible ROI. So what’s the problem?
Patent law and court rulings have been working in direct opposition to this growth, but there are some key strategies you can leverage to make the most of your funds while securing vital intellectual property.

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.

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.
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

3. What is the Intent of the Program?
YORK RESEARCH
“The objective of the CGD is to safeguard controlled
goods and/or controlled technologies within Canada
and prevent controlled goods and/or controlled
technology from being accessed by unauthorized
persons.”
4. Consequences
YORK RESEARCH
The CGD has the authority to inspect companies to ensure
compliance. Companies must be ready for inspection at all times and
produce all required records. The CGD also has the authority to detain
or remove any controlled good and/or controlled technology, until it is
convinced that the requirements of the DPA (Defense Protection Act)
are met. Anyone who is not registered, excluded or exempt from
registration with the CGD is not permitted to examine, possess or
transfer controlled goods and/or technology within Canada.
Companies that fail to comply with this Act can have their registration
revoked and they can, as well as individuals, be prosecuted for failing
to comply with the CGD. As per the DPA, fines vary from $25,000 to
$2,000,000 daily or an imprisonment not exceeding 10 years, or both.
6. What is a “Controlled Good or
Technology”? YORK RESEARCH
Munitions specifically designed or modified for military use (Group
2)
-Lists of specific chemicals are included
Strategic Goods such as (Group 5)
-Global navigation satellite systems;
-Ground control stations;
-Nuclear weapons design and testing equipment
Missile Technology such as (Group 6)
-Complete delivery systems (rocket, ballistic & cruise missile);

-Navigation & stealth equipment (flight instrument systems);
-Avionics (radar & Global Positioning System);
-Launch support equipment (gravity meters & precision tracking);
-Test facilities (wind tunnels for speeds of Mach 0.9 or greater)
7. Oh, you’re a university?
YORK RESEARCH
You’re different…
9. Definition of Basic Research
YORK RESEARCH
“Experimental or theoretical work undertaken
principally to acquire new knowledge of the
fundamental principles of phenomena or observable
facts, not primarily directed towards a specific
practical aim or objective.”
10. Basic Research @ York?
YORK RESEARCH
York has determined that Basic Research is anything that is not Applied
Research
and
Applied Research is anything that is done for or in conjunction with a
company or agency that can use the outcomes of the research in an
application or product.
In the case of Applied Research the “intent” of the work needs to be
considered also.
12. Who Needs to be Included
in the Program? YORK RESEARCH
Anyone exposed to enabling knowledge about the Controlled Goods or
Technologies
•Employees (Faculty, Staff, and Students)
•Visitors
•Contractors from other companies
Exempt individuals need to provide proof of their exemption (ie federal
employee) and this needs to be recorded
13. Registering for CGP
YORK RESEARCH
Application for Registration for the CGP can be
found at the following website:
http://ssi-iss.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/dmc-cgd/index-
eng.html.
Propose a Designated Official
14. Designated Official – Why me?
YORK RESEARCH
• Controlling people as well as goods
• Controlling information in grant applications
15. Develop and Implement Security Plan
YORK RESEARCH
The Security Plan must include the following sections:
-People records
-Goods & technologies records
-Records of visitors
-Reporting
-Training program
-Security briefings
16. Maintaining Records: public
YORK RESEARCH
Binder includes:
-Application and approval to the CGP including renewals

19. Reference Checks
YORK RESEARCH
• How (well, long, capacity) do you know the subject
• Travel outside of the country (where, how often)
• Honest, reliable, trustworthy
• Criminal history
• Associations
• Are you aware of any associates or associations, which
might be considered to have an adverse affect on the
subject's position of trust?
22. Training & Briefings
YORK RESEARCH
Provide regular training programs for the secure
handling of CGs
Provide briefings to visitors and other peripheral
personnel as well as qualified program participants
23. Word of warning…
YORK RESEARCH
Be careful what you say to faculty council
meetings…
24. Audits and Inspections
YORK RESEARCH
ORS schedules site visits to the locations of the CGs to
review log books and to ensure goods are located in
locked facilities
CGP can audit and inspect both the location of the CGs
along with the documentation files at any time
Every 6 months report on list of screened individuals
25. ITARs
YORK RESEARCH
http://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/itar.html
27. Potential for Human Rights Challenge
YORK RESEARCH
Except for “regular employees” it’s your country of birth not
your actions that determine your risk level.
June 2011: “regular employees” can be screened (=CGP)
Students are not regular employees.
If you accept ITAR controlled goods and/or data (in research
contract or technical assistance agreement (TAA)
DON’T SHARE THEM WITH ANYONE
28. Scared yet?
YORK RESEARCH
Don’t be…ask questions
