CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Ø Although not apparent, it would be hard to imagine how we would live today without Silicon (Si)
since a wide range of modern technologies depend on it
Ø Silicon is a critical raw materials crucial to the world economy, and has been declared a critical
raw material by the EU
Ø In fact, as Silicon compounds are the raw material for a large and growing number of industrial
and consumer products, the ESG aspect of its manufacturing are becoming crucial

WHAT IS SILICON?
4
Silicon (Si) or Silicon Metal, is a semi-
conductor and it is the most abundant
element in earth’s crust after oxygen…
But like all other energy metals (lithium,
graphite, cobalt, nickel, etc.) it does not
exist in its pure state!
Ø Depending on final application, (Solar,
Electronics, Batteries) Chemical grade Silicon
(99.5% Si) must either be purified and or
engineered
Ø To extract it commercially from Quartz (SiO2) an
expensive and energy intensive carbothermic
process, first invented in 1899, is still used

TRADITONAL PROCESS VS NEW PROCESS
Ø The new plasma-based process allows a direct Quartz to Fumed silica transformation
• Removing the need for hazardous chemicals in the Process, and
• Eliminating Hydrogen Chloride Gas (HCI) releases
Ø New process requires 15,000 kWh/MT, versus 110,000 kWh/MT for traditional process
• A staggering 86% reduction in the energy footprint
Ø The process feedstock is Quartz not Silicon, this will make its Capex a small fraction of
what is required to build a traditional Fumed Silica plant

HPQ is looking at developing hydrogen-based
ventures, that could be complementary to its Silicon /
Silica projects
Currently, HPQ is evaluating two different approaches
to reach this goal, those being:
1. Working with Swiss based company EBH2 Systems SAS as
it pertains to their process of manufacturing Green
Hydrogen via their proprietary electrolysis technology
they claim can efficiently extract, from virtually any
water source including salt water, hydrogen
Ø Working together to develop an industrial scale EBH2 system to
power HPQ PUREVAPTM QRR & NSIR processes and thereby
produce the greenest silicon materials
2. Developing our processes of making hydrogen via
hydrolysis of nanosilicon materials made by our
PUREVAPTM NSiR
