In recent years governments and research institutions have emphasized the need for open data as a fundamental component of open science. But we need much more than the data themselves for them to be reusable and useful. We need descriptive and machine-readable metadata, of course, but we also need the software and the algorithms necessary to fully understand the data. We need the standards and protocols that allow us to easily read and analyze the data with the tools of our choice. We need to be able to trust the source and derivation of the data. In short, we need an interoperable data infrastructure, but it must be a flexible infrastructure able to work across myriad cultures, scales, and technologies. This talk will present a concept of infrastructure as a body of human, organisational, and machine relationships built around data. It will illustrate how a new organization, the Research Data Alliance, is working to build those relationships to enable functional data sharing and reuse.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

Presentation on INSPIRE and Higher Education (1 of 2)
1. INSPIRE - ensuring access or
continuity of access?
Robin Rice1, Martin Donnelly2,
Anne Robertson1 and James Reid1
EDINA and Digital Curation Centre
University of Edinburgh
INSPIRE Conference
Edinburgh UK, June 2011
2. Thesis (1 of 2)
“Policies underpinned by studies of
environmental change require an under-
standing of how phenomena change over time.
This requires access to historic data and earlier
editions of data.
This in turn implies the application of sound
data management and curation principles with
an implicit long term view of preserving the
evidential base for future generations of policy
makers and researchers.”
3. Thesis (2 of 2)
“Without effective research data management
across the data life-cycle – from creation to use
to preservation, INSPIRE may not be able to
deliver continuity of access to data sets over the
long term.
By marrying the principles of INSPIRE with best
practice in research data management, the
availability of geospatial and temporal data will
be assured for government, the public and the
academy.”
(from our submitted abstract)
5. UK Higher Education Institutions: how does INSPIRE affect them
Development of the academic SDI is in parallel with broader SDI initiatives at UK
government and EU level which provide simultaneously both obligations and
opportunities, specifically:
The UK Location Programme- a cross domain, public sector effort to
Establish the UK SDI and to partially realize UK obligations under:
INSPIRE - A pan- European Directive for the establishment
of an Infrastructure for Spatial Information (SDI) in the EU
The aim of INSPIRE is to:
improve the sharing of spatial information
between public authorities and
improve accessibility to the public.
INSPIRE will improve the quality of spatial
information and enable information from
different sources to be more easily combined
6. UK HFE as INSPIRE Data Provider
INSPIRE – a European SDI
Implementation of INSPIRE in the UK will deliver a step change in data management, data
interoperability and data sharing across the public sector, supported by better integration
with mainstream information services.
“citizens will have ready access to the information they need to go about their daily lives, whether at
home, in business, in research or in government. Doing this will exploit the full value of the UK’s spatial
information.”
Specifically, this will allow us to:
Know what data we have, and avoid duplicating it;
Use common reference data so we know we are talking about
the same places;
Share spatial information easily through a common infrastructure
of standards, technology and business relationships.

10. because good research needs good data
What is Digital Curation?
• Digital curation is about maintaining and adding value to a
trusted body of digital information for current and future use.
• The activity of managing and promoting the use of data from
its point of creation, to ensure it is fit for contemporary
purpose, and available for discovery and re-use. For
dynamic datasets this may mean continuous enrichment or
updating to keep it fit for purpose. Higher levels of curation
will also involve maintaining links with annotation and with
other published materials.

15. Geospatial Data Preservation Resource Center
Unlike physical maps and documents, digital data
can be difficult to reuse and preserve in the long run,
because of changing software and formats,
inadequate documentation, loss of media, and other
factors.
A new website, the Geospatial Data Preservation
Resource Center (at CIESIN, University of Columbia)
aims to help those responsible for producing and
managing geospatial data learn about the latest
approaches and tools available to facilitate long-term
geospatial data preservation and access.
