Research presentation of: Analysis and Detection of Network Printer Attacks.
Presented by Asaf Hecht at "the 13th International Conference on Malicious and Unwanted Software" (MALCON 2018) in Nantucket, USA.
Keylogging, one of the unsafe malware, is the movement of recording the keys struck on a console with the end goal that the individual utilizing the console is obscure about the way that their activities are being watched. It has legitimate use in examination of human PC collaboration and is considered as the primary danger for business and individual exercises. It tends to be utilized to catch passwords and other secret data entered by means of the console. Subsequently, counteraction of keylogging is significant and severe validation is needed for it. Planning of secure confirmation conventions is very testing, taking into account that different sorts of root units dwell in Personal Computers to watch clients conduct. There are different keylogging procedures, stretching out from equipment and programming based techniques to acoustic assessment. Human contribution in confirmation conventions, however ensuring, isnt straightforward. This paper surveys different examination regions which spread convention confirmations utilized safely forestalling the representation of keylogging assaults. Dr. C.

REMOVAL OF CERTIFICATES FROM SET PROTOCOL USING CERTIFICATELESS PUBLIC KEY CR...IJNSA Journal
Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) is a standard e-commerce protocol for securing credit card transactions over insecure networks. In a transaction using SET, all the members need public key certificates in order to authenticate their public key. Certificates are created by certificate authorities (CAs), The process of getting certificates from a certificate authority(CA) for any SET participants involves a large number of procedures like sending request to issue a certificates, getting approval or
rejection of request and finally obtain the certificates, which is essentially time consuming as because these are associated with certificate management, including renew, revocation ,storage and distribution and the computational cost of certificate verification, also the chain of verification can be quite long, depending on the certificate hierarchy. So, the issues associated with certificate management are quite complex and costly.The present paper attempts the removal of the certificates using the ‘certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC)’ . The basic idea of CL-PKC is to generate a public/private key pair for a user by using a master key of a Key Generation Center (KGC) with a random secret value selected by the user. Hence, CL-PKC eliminates the use of certificates in traditional PKC and solves the key escrow problem in ID-PKC.The comparison with existing SET implementation is also addressed in the paper that shows the effectiveness of the proposal.
Windows Systems & Code Signing Protection by Paul RascagneresShakacon
This presentation explains the code signing mechanism (authenticode) developed by Microsoft on Windows systems. The presentation will first explain the kernel implication and the impact on driver development. This protection firstly annoyed rootkit developers but they found several ways to bypass it. Well-known rootkits such as Derusbi, Uroburos or GrayFish use tricks to bypass driver signature. These techniques will be described during the presentation. Finally, the user-land will be discussed with the new library injection protection based on code signing implemented in Windows 10 TH2 and especially for the Edge process.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
