Wireless Standards Wi Fi 6 Evolution and Wi Fi 7ijtsrd
IEEE standardized wireless technologies as 802.11, 802.11a b g n, 802.11ac. 802.11 legacy was released by IEEE in 1997. IEEE 802.11b was made available to users through Wi Fi routers. With 802.11g n increased the network capacity and data throughput support. 802.11n or Wi Fi 4 introduced MIMO technology. Downlink MU MIMO was one of the main features of 802.11ac or Wi Fi 5. The latest 802.11ax or Wi Fi 6 supports both downlink and uplink MU MIMO. The use of OFDMA, dual bands, Target Wake Time technologies will help in handling traffic offloaded from the 5G wireless network and help in catering to dynamic network needs, handling massive dense IoT networks, and high throughput demands. Wi Fi Alliance started working on the next wireless generation that is IEEE 802.11be or Wi Fi 7. Wi Fi 7 will be standardized by 2023.

SURVEYING BEST SUITABLE SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR WIMAX- WI-FI INTEGRATED HETE...cscpconf
To provide uninterrupted service to all subscribers in a wireless network, we need to incorporate a low cost, flexible Heterogeneous network which will be able to link with any kind
of network for efficient spectrum utilization, hence improved system capacity. In this connection, Wi-Fi/ Wi MAX integrated network seems to be an ideal solution as it is able to
provide easy deployment, high speed data rate and wide range coverage with high throughput, low end to end delay, flat and low jitter. Wi-Fi/ WiMAX integrated network provides Quality of
Service (QoS) that can support all kinds of real-time application in wireless networks that includes priority scheduling and queuing for bandwidth allocation that is based on traffic
scheduling algorithms within wireless networks. In this paper, we have designed a Wi-Fi/ WiMAX integrated network and analyze the performance of different scheduling algorithms for
that integrated network and highlight our findings on the scheduling algorithm which will give the best performance for a heterogeneous network.

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:
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

4. 802.11
IEEE 802.11 is a set of media access control (MAC) and physical layer
(PHY) specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN)
computer communication.
The 802.11 committee was set up by IEEE in the early 90s for developing
a reliable, fast, inexpensive wireless solution using the ISM band.
4 / 28
5. 802.11
Many amendments were released over the years.
802.11a, b, g, n, ac regard data transmission.
802.11i regards security.
802.11c, d, e, f, h, j, k, r, s are extensions to the currently available
services.
5 / 28
6. 802.11-1997
The original version of IEEE 802.11 was released in 1997. It is also called
802.11 legacy.
Bitrate from 1 (using BPSK) or 2 Mbps (using QPSK).
Operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Uses CSMA/CA.
Uses DSSS and FHSS transmissions.
Included a MAC-level security protocol WEP.
It also included a specification for infrared wireless communications,
still operating at up to 2 Mbps.
6 / 28
7. 802.11b
Released in 1999.
Operates in 2.4 GHz band.
5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps bitrates.
Uses only DSSS transmissions which provides higher data rates.
It is probably the most widely-recognized, and widely-used 802.11
standard.
7 / 28
8. Wi-Fi Alliance
In 1999 a group of companies endorsed the IEEE 802.11b specification to
form the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA) organization
and branded the new technology Wi-Fi.
WECA (later Wi-Fi Alliance) promotes the Wi-Fi technology and certifies
the interoperability of products.
The logo is applied only on equipment which has passed testing.
8 / 28
9. 802.11a
Released in 1999.
Operates in 5 GHz band which was less used than the 2.4 GHz
spectrum.
54 Mbps bitrate.
Uses OFDM with 52 subcarriers to mitigate interference and achieve
better data rates. Each subcarrier can be a BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM
or 64-QAM.
Its high operating frequency was readily absorbed by physical
impediments, significantly decreasing its effective range.
Hardware is more expensive.
9 / 28
10. 802.11g
Released in 2003.
Operates in 2.4 GHz band.
54 Mbps bitrate.
Uses OFDM with 52 subcarriers. Each subcarrier can be BPSK,
QPSK, 16-QAM or 64-QAM.
Backward-compatible with the 802.11b.
10 / 28
11. 802.11n
Released in 2009.
Uses multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmitting method
increasing the overall bitrate. 4 streams available.
Uses OFDM with 56 subcarriers which can be BPSK, QPSK,
16-QAM or 64-QAM.
It is backward-compatible with previous 2.4 GHz implementations of
802.11. Could also operate in the 5 GHz band.
It can support data rates up to 600 Mbps.
11 / 28
12. 802.11ac
Published in 2013.
Operates in 5 GHz band.
8 available MIMO streams, which 4 are downlink multi user streams
(MU-MIMO).
Multi-station throughput of at least 1 Gbps and single-link
throughput of at least 500 Mbps.
High-density modulation (up to 256-QAM).
12 / 28
15. 802.11ax
802.11ax task group was created in 2013.
The aim is to:
Improve WLAN performance and support multi-user transmission.
Efficient use of spectral resources.
Improve real world performance, especially in dense scenarios.
Improve energy efficiency.
Provide backward compatibility.
This new amendment should be released in 2019.
15 / 28
17. OFDMA
OFDMA is also known as multiuser OFDM.
In OFDMA a channel can be split in several sub-channels and
assigned to different users.
Can be implemented with channel bonding.
Improves throughput.
It is also used in WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) and in LTE standard.
17 / 28
18. MU-MIMO
IEEE 802.11ax will further develop the MU-MIMO capabilities of IEEE
802.11ac by allowing multiple simultaneous transmissions in the uplink.
With UL MU MIMO the AP may simultaneously receive from
multiple transmitters.
UL transmission must be scheduled by the AP using a new control
frame (trigger).
18 / 28
19. Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR)
Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR) techniques can be used in
addition to OFDMA and MU-MIMO.
They are commonly known as full-duplex transmission.
Using STR a pair of nodes is able to transmit and receive
simultaneously.
Theoretically it doubles the channel capacity.
RTS/CTS packets can be used to start a full-duplex transmission.
19 / 28
20. Better throughput
In addition to the aforementioned techniques, 802.11ax will support
modulation up to 1024-QAM.
All these improvements could allow 802.11ax to reach a top speed of
around 10 Gbps.
20 / 28
22. Dense scenarios
Interferences increase the packet error rate reducing the number of
concurrent transmissions.
The presence of many stations in the same area increases the chances
that the backoff counters reach zero simultaneously, which results in a
collision.
22 / 28
24. Target Wakeup Time
TWT permits an AP to define a specific time or set of times for
individual stations to access the medium.
The use of TWT is negotiated between an AP and a STA.
Allows the STA to sleep for periods of time, and wake up in
pre-scheduled (target) times to exchange information with its AP.
24 / 28
25. Backward compatibility
IEEE 802.11ax must support devices using any previous IEEE 802.11
PHY/MAC amendments.
Mandatory transmission of the legacy PHY preamble in all frames.
