The Great Cryptographic Divide - Enigma 2018Jason Truppi
From the Enigma machine to the DES and RSA algorithms, encryption has engendered a long, drawn-out war between governments. In the last few decades, however, it has evolved into a topic that is quickly dividing the world into privacy and security advocates. As industry continues to provide enhanced encryption options to the consumer, the government is losing visibility into threat actors who are perpetrating crimes and exploiting the security of nation states. The move toward end-to-end encryption is not only impacting government, but the overall security posture of corporations as well. This raises security and risk concerns for the entire community. How are the government and private sector planning to maintain security and privacy in a fully encrypted world? How will governments maintain foreign intelligence collection requirements? What are tech companies inventing to counteract emerging threats while maintaining the privacy of their users? I will also present some creative solutions for how we can move the encryption and privacy debate forward and create reasonable common ground that will align parties instead of increasing the cryptographic divide.
This document discusses cryptocurrency investigations from the perspective of a former FBI agent. It outlines the various roles and powers of regulatory and law enforcement agencies as they relate to imposing fines, civil actions, and administrative penalties. It also lists several illegal activities like funding terrorism, money laundering, and fraud that could get people in trouble. Finally, it notes that breaches and illegal activities are on the rise, but regulators and law enforcement are getting smarter and responding with more regulation.
Timeline of crypto hacks and government actionsJason Truppi
This document provides a timeline of major crypto and law enforcement events from 2011 to 2020. It highlights several major exchange hacks and losses totaling over $1 billion from 2011 to 2019. It also lists enforcement actions such as the arrest of the Silk Road founder in 2011 and indictments of individuals for materially supporting terrorism with bitcoin in 2016.
I will be sharing illusions and realities that I have observed as a veteran FBI agent, who has worked hundreds of cyber incidents, and what I see today having assimilated into the innovative world of Silicon Valley tech. We all know that cybersecurity threats are evolving faster than the world can consume them and that requires passionate and dedicated people to help advance us forward and protect our assets. The reality is government alone cannot move at the pace that is needed to protect their constituents. Often there is a disconnect from what government perceives as a problem versus what private industry categorizes as a risk. Government and technology companies must work together to solve the breach pandemic we have today. I will be highlighting how enterprises are truly preparing their security teams, what valuable metrics they are capturing, what tools are most useful, and what government best practices and standards have been the most sticky. I will be covering the realities of applying threat intelligence, big data analytics and artificial intelligence at scale. Then we will take a step forward and think about what new security problems might be awaiting us in the near future. My goal is to expose the facts of what organizations are actually experiencing, which should help government focus their efforts in the areas that will be most effective at combating the threats that face us daily.

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).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
