Telecoms operators approaches to M2M and IoTTom Rebbeck
Telecoms operator strategies for IoT have tended to be tactical and ad hoc. Telecoms operators need to develop a sustainable long-term position with regard to the M2M market and the broader IoT opportunity.
This presentation explores the alternative approaches telecoms operators have taken to M2M/IoT and suggests what we believe is a more sustainable long term approach.
A Geolocation API
Fernando Mendioroz, CTO at PAiC Business Development
TADSummit EMEA Americas, 2020
A Geolocation API for real-time, transparent interaction with mobile networks for gathering of location information under any generation of cellular radio access networks.
Independent of core or radio access network, device hardware or software, operational in low-grade network conditions such as underground or indoor environments.
Mobile location information can be retrieved autonomously or triggered by asynchronous events from messaging services such as SMS or USSD, voice, etc., independently of underlying network infrastructure.
Allows service providers to integrate universal location data to any other IoT application, triggering actions and responses from other networked devices and communication channels such as voice and messaging.
Processes location reports upon entry, stay or exit of tracked device from predefined zones, motion events when devices approach zones within a predefined distance, periodic events/timeouts, user equipment availability, emergency calls, etc.
Out-of-the-box location retrieval with SS7 and Diameter-based interfaces in LTE.
Use cases:
e-Health: currently used on covid-19 patients tracking, iWatch cardio activity alarm (2015 TADHack Chicago winner)
Emergency services (2017 TADHack Global winners)
Security services
Fleet/Workforce Management
Road Traffic Control & Planning
Mobile marketing/sales based on proximity
Environmental warnings
Court restraining policing
Next steps: Secure User-Plane location, 5G location through HTTP2, Geolocation as a Service.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
