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).

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.

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.

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).

WHAT DO I NEED TO CREATE MULTIMEDIA

July 25, 2013
2. INTRODUCTION:
Wherever we go, we find different
applications of multimedia and
someone would ask how the
presentation or project including
special sound effects was made.
The goal of the present work is to
give an idea about what we can do
with the images and sound when
creating a multimedia project. Op.
4. Software is the program or tool that we use to create multimedia
elements and it will depend on the complexity of the project, some of
these programs are already in the computer.
GRAPHIC SOFTWARE, for photos, pictures images and
diagrams.
BITMAP editors such as adobe photo shop, macromedia
fireworks and fractal design painter are used for the
creation of bitmaps, photos or painted images.
ILLUSTRATION or drawing programs like Paint shop pro,
Macromedia Free hand and adobe illustrator feature pen,
brush and spray painting tools.
Another characteristics of illustration are the ability to cut, paste, clone
and touch-up and drawing 3D editors: Specular Infiniti-D , Macromedia
Extreme 3-D and discreet Logic 3D ,Studio Max are used for animation.
5. AUDIO
SOFTWARE
DIGITIZING RECORDING EDITING
Movie shop, Movie cleaner , Adobe
after effects, media 100 are used for
video with special effects.
Word process software include office
packages, spreadsheet and
database programs.

7. • It is possible to find computer packages which are sold
with graphics programs and audio editing software pre-
loaded packages are sold with graphics programs and
audio editing software. Some programs are free (free
ware) or available for a trial period. Most of the
computers come with the basic components for a
multimedia project.

SOUND
It is a good idea to digitize all the elements at the highest possible quality, it
take up more memory and space but it will make it much easier to edit or
retouch them. Then it is possible to compress or make them smaller.
DIGITALIZATION
9. • Keep an original copy of each file.
• Take notes of changes made in every sound or video. It
will help when it is necessary to make the same effect
with other files.
IDEAS
10. Most of the images from a clip art gallery
are already in digital form, also the ones
from a digital camera. Some of them have
to be scanned as paper, postcards,
fabrics or leaves, a watch, jewelry etc. .
You should scan at
150 dpi or ppi at least.
• STEPS: Name the format. JPEF is a
commonly used format which does not
require too much disk space. TIFF is a
good format as is BITMAP but these take
up more space.
• STORE: the file in –scanner images-
• Use software packages to manipulate and
touch-up the photographs.
11. Resize the image Sharpen fuzzy
images
Create new images
using parts of others
To turn coloured photos into
black, white or sepia.
• MUSIC. Sets the mood,
• ILLUSTRATIONS: messages, narration, direct and
effective communication.
• SOUND EFFECT: Highlight points, i.e. drum roll
• STEPS: Open the audio, edit software, adjust the
settings to 16bit and 22.05 khz.
• CD quality sound is defined as 44khz but it takes up
a lot of disk space.
12. Many programs have similar
controls to regular home stereo
systems.
Make first takes to get a natural
and relaxed sounding narration
A WAV file is
produced
Adjust the sound
Many audio editors allow to select sections of sound, cu them out and past or
copy in another section of the sound track. Sophisticated audio editors have all
the functions of a professional recording audio.
Each piece of audio edition software is different.
Many software packages have tutorials that will take you through the whole
process step by step.
13. Video clips contain both sound and
moving pictures, take a lot of free disk
space, since consuming about 2MB of
storage space per minute.
Use of video on web sites can be more problematic, as the quality will also
depend on the speed of the user’s internet connection.

14. TV video card send
pictures to the monitor
The video capture card accepts and
digitizes pictures from a VCR or
portable camcorder.
The software should let
adjust the volume or fade
the sound in and out for a
smoother effect.
May editing programs
allow to add scrolling text
and create subtitles.
