Fingerprints have been used for identification for thousands of years, but it was not until the late 19th century that they began to be used systematically by police. The first system was developed by Alphonse Bertillon in 1883, but it was prone to errors. In the 1880s, Henry Fauld and William Herschel independently discovered the potential of fingerprints for identification. Sir Francis Galton's seminal research in the 1890s established that no two fingerprints are alike and they do not change over time. Classification systems were then developed to organize large fingerprint databases. By the early 20th century, fingerprints had replaced anthropometry as the primary method of criminal identification.

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).

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

2. • Since the beginnings of criminal investigation,
police have sought an infallible means of human
identification. The first systematic attempt at
personal identification was devised and
introduced by a French police expert, Alphonse
Bertillon, in 1883. The Bertillon system relied on
a detailed description (portrait parlé) of the
subject, combined with full-length and profile
photographs and a system of precise body
measurements known as anthropometry.
3. Alphonse Bertillon
1853-1914 The use of anthropometry as a method
of identification rested on the premise
that the dimensions of the human bone
system remained fixed from age 20 until
death. Skeleton sizes were thought to be
so extremely diverse that no two
individuals could have exactly the same
measurements.
4. • For two decades, this system was considered
the most accurate method of identification,
but in the early years of the 20th century,
police began to appreciate and accept a
system of identification based on the
classification of finger ridge patterns known as
fingerprints. Today, the fingerprint is the pillar
of modern criminal investigation.
5. The Early Use of Fingerprinting
• The Chinese used fingerprints to sign legal
documents as far back as three thousand years
ago. Whether this practice was performed for
ceremonial custom or as a means of personal
identity remains a point of conjecture lost to
history. In any case, the examples of
fingerprinting in ancient history are ambiguous,
and the few that exist did not contribute to the
development of fingerprinting techniques as we
know them today.
6. The Early Use of Fingerprinting
• Sir William Hershel: Several years before
Bertillon began work on his system, William
Herschel, and English civil servant stationed in
India, started requiring natives to sign contracts
with the imprint of their right hand, which was
pressed against a stamp pad for the purpose.
The motives for Herschel’s requirement remain
unclear; he may have envisioned fingerprinting
as a means of personal identification or just as
a form of the Hindu custom that a trace of
bodily contact was more binding than a
signature on a contract. In any case, he did not
publish anything about his activities until after a
Scottish physician, Henry Fauld, working in a
hospital in Japan, published his views on the
potential application of fingerprinting to
personal identification.
7. The Early Use of Fingerprinting
• Henry Fauld: In 1880 Fauld suggested
that skin ridge patterns could be
important for the identification of
criminals. He told about a thief who
left his fingerprint on a whitewashed
wall, and how in comparing these prints
with those of a suspect, he found that
they were quite different. A few days
later, another suspect was found whose
fingerprints compared with those on
the wall. When confronted with this
evidence, the individual confessed to
the crime.
8. • Fauld was convinced that fingerprints
furnished infallible proof of identification. He
even offered to set up at his own expense a
fingerprint bureau at Scotland Yard to test the
practicality of the method. But his offered
was rejected in favor of the Bertillon System.
This decision was reversed less than two
decades later.
9. Early Classification of Fingerprints
• Extensive research into
fingerprinting conducted by
Sir Francis Galton provided
the needed impetus that
made police agencies aware
of its potential application.
In 1892, Galton published his
classic textbook Finger Prints,
the first book of its kind on
the subject. In his book,
Galton discussed the
anatomy of fingerprints and
suggested methods for
recording them.
10. Early Classification of Fingerprints
• Galton also proposed assigning
fingerprints to three pattern
types – loops, arches, and whorls.
Most important, the book
demonstrated that no two prints
are identical and that an
individual’s prints remain
unchanged from year to year. At
Galton’s insistence, the British
government adopted
fingerprinting as a supplement to
the Bertillon system.
11. Early Classification of Fingerprints
• The next step in the development
of fingerprint technology was the
creation of classifications systems
capable of filing thousands of
prints in a logical and searchable
sequence. Dr. Juan Vucetich, a
police officer from Argentina who
was fascinated by Galton’s work,
devised a workable concept in
1891. His classification system has
been refined over the years and is
still widely used today in most
Spanish-speaking countries.
12. • In 1897, another classification
system was proposed by an
Englishman, Sir Edward
Richard Henry. Four years
later, Henry’s system was
adopted by Scotland Yard.
Today, most English-speaking
countries, including the United
States, use some version of
Henry’s classification system to
file fingerprints.
13. • Early in the 20th century, Bertillon’s measurement system
began to fall into disfavor. Its results were highly
susceptible to error, particularly when the measurements
were taken by people who were not thoroughly trained.
The method was dealt its most severe and notable setback
in 1903 when a convict, Will West, arrived at Fort
Leavenworth prison. A routine check of the prison files
startlingly revealed that a William West, already in the
prison, could not be distinguished from the new prisoner
by body measurements or even by photographs. In fact,
the two men looked just like twins, and their
measurements were practically the same. Subsequently,
fingerprints of the prisoners clearly distinguished them.
14. • In the United States, the first systematic and
official use of fingerprints for personal
identification was adopted by the New York
City Civil Service Commission in 1901. The
method was used for certifying all civil service
applications. Several American police officials
received instruction in fingerprint
identification at the 1904 World’s Fair in St.
Louis, Missouri from representatives from
Scotland Yard.
