BrowserID: Distributed Identity in the BrowserFrancois Marier
BrowserID is a new web login mechanism with strong privacy protection where your browser is the trusted intermediary. Backed by Mozilla, it is based on the simple idea of a user proving that they own an email address, with a generous sprinkling of crypto under the hood. What makes this solution different is that it is designed to be simple (both for users and developers), distributed and privacy-protecting.

Global trends in Social media for Agricultural DevelopmentDishant James
Many agricultural professionals eschew social media because they don’t understand what it is and how to engage with it and learn. Social media platforms provide agricultural institutions the ability to communicate directly to the farmers and consumers, informing them about various aspects of agriculture (Saravanan and Suchiradipta, 2016).

Presented by Michelle DePass and Rich Newlands
The North Williams Traffic Safety Project started out with the highest of ideals—a greatly improved, safer transportation corridor with easier interactions between vehicles, bikes and pedestrians. What happened next is a public participation nightmare with, perhaps, a legendary ending. This project provides the perfect scenario for best-case public participation by illustrating how NOT to conduct a planning process in disadvantaged communities, followed by lessons learned about the importance of culturally-sensitive public outreach within the context of rapidly-changing demographics of inner North/NE Portland.
How do we talk about and frame sustainability issues without frightening or alienating the very people we need to reach? How do we move people from belief and opinion to action? Governments, non-profits and businesses—even individuals—have trouble communicating about sustainability and climate. Leslie Carlson of Carlson Communications works with public agencies and sustainable businesses to help promote behavior change for climate, thoughtful consumption, sustainable products and other sustainability-related areas.

Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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.

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.

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

public records and may be maintained and reproduced by [insert Visitor Venue].
• If outside links are permitted, the Metro Social Media account shall prominently post the
following “Links Disclaimer”:
5. Metro – Outside Links Disclaimer
Links to external Internet sites do not constitute Metro’s endorsement of the content of those sites,
policies, or statements contained therein. Web links are often updated or deleted, and the user is
cautioned to conduct his/her own research before following a link contained herein or elsewhere.
• Record Retention Requirements for Social Media Content. Users and moderators must maintain
and preserve records in compliance with the Oregon Public Records laws, ORS 192.410. et seq.
Under public records law, Metro is required to maintain records for the period provided in the
retention schedule for that type of record. In some instances, individual departments have records
retention schedules for their records. These must be approved by the State where different than
what is found in state statute. Users and moderators must be familiar with their department’s
record retention schedules and preserve records in accordance with those schedules. The public
records law applies whether the site is hosted by Metro or a third party.
• Managing Social Media Content that is Officially Maintained Elsewhere. Under the ORS
definition, a public record does not include: “Extra copies of a document, preserved only for
convenience of reference” (ORS 192.005(5)(d)). Users can greatly simplify their retention
responsibilities by using Social Media applications exclusively to provide the public with links or
references to content that is officially maintained elsewhere. Using this approach, the links or
references posted on Social Media sites would be considered convenience copies which need to be
retained only “as needed” or “until superseded.”
• Managing “Original” Social Media Content. It is possible that users will publish original content
via Social Media, and that content requires retention. Public comments to Metro Social Media
sites may also constitute a public record. Almost all of this “original” content will fall into one of
the categories below.
• Speeches/Statements/News Releases/Program Activity Records
For retention purposes, a Metro blog posting (for example) is the equivalent of a
public speech. An on-the-spot written or photographed account of a Metro event,
or summary of Metro activities, pushed out via any Social Media should be
considered a “report.” If any of these statements or reports contains policy or
historically significant content, they must be retained permanently. Otherwise,
they have a two-year retention from the time they are “published.”
• Correspondence
Incoming messages from the public that arrive via a Metro Social Media site
should be treated as correspondence. For correspondence that originates on a
Metro Social Media site and that merits a response to an individual (as opposed to
a public posting), the user would be advised to take that correspondence “offline”
and, if possible, communicate directly with the individual and maintain that
correspondence using established procedures for correspondence management.
Much of the correspondence between elected officials and the public is considered
“policy and historical” and warrants permanent retention.
• Content Associated with a Specific Function or Activity
If a user establishes a Social Media site as a public entry point to solicit specific
information (e.g. conducting a poll) or launch a process (e.g. placing an order), the
information received should then be retained along with other records associated
with that function or activity using the appropriate retention schedule.
• Preserving Social Media Content – Technology. Metro does not currently endorse a single,
preferred method of capturing and preserving Social Media content. Before activating a Social
Media account, users should consult with Information Services and the Metro Records Officer to
6. create a plan for managing any content that constitutes an official Metro record.
7. Responsibilities

• Familiarity with this policy and compliance with its terms.
• Refrain from representing comments on a non-Metro site as Metro-
endorsed or as acting in capacity of Metro representative.
