What is a Trusted Service Manager?
A Trusted Service Manager (TSM) plays a vital role in the Near Field Communication (NFC) ecosystem.
A TSM acts as a trusted middle- man within the deployment of mobile payments:
1. Coordinating technical and business relationships of multiple stakeholders: mobile network operators (MNO), banks and other service providers (SP).
2. Securely installing and personalizing applications on the Secure Element (SE).
3. Handling banking and mobile security and securing consumer information.
4. Performing lifecycle management tasks for installed applications.
5. Securely generating, managing and distributing cryptographic keys
TSM models
An SP communicates with an MNO to add an application on an NFC device.
But the reality is more complex.
Utopian NFC ecosystem with one TSM.
Different organisation see themselves as TSM and no single organisation is trusted by everyone.
One TSM creates ownership issues regarding relationships and data.
Current NFC ecosystem: Root TSM and SP TSM model
A Root TSM - manages the Root Security Domain (SD) on the NFC device and its keys. - informs SP TSMs of key events on applications. - interacts with the phone. - interacts with service provider TSMs.
An SP TSM - provisions, manages, loads and personalises applications into the SD on behalf of SPs. - manages their own secure environment. - interacts with the phone to install and personalise services. - interacts with Root TSMs to communicate state changes of applications.
Why TSM?
1. Multiple markets becoming part of the mobile ecosystem are required to collaborate.
2. TSMs are their Single Point of Contact.
3. Markets such as payments, transit and access control need to cooperate.
4. TSMs allow stakeholders to effectively communicate and handle transactions securely with each other.
Becoming a TSM?
Service providers can keep control of their customers by becoming their own TSM.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Deliver better decisions with NFC --–
Near Field Communications.
NFC - Near field communication is a form of contactless communication between mobile
devices (Android & soon iPhone) and managed by your smartphone or tablet.
Contactless communication allows a user to wave the smartphone over an NFC TAG or
compatible device sending information without the need to touch, go through multiple
steps or scan a barcode. Information is transmitted wirelessly.
2. NFC for Business
Communicate
Real-Time Updates
Customer Service
Managers can communicate
quickly with employees, teachers
with students, businesses with
clients or advertisers with the
buyer. NFC Tags deliver training
courses, product information,
send a text message, redirect to
links that contain a video, map or
schedule all while collecting user
data to help identify current time,
location and a host of Google
Analytics.
Knowing where and when a tag is
read is important for all types of
reasons.
As business changes so can the
uses for NFC Tags by updating
information, progress or
production.
Real time updates are vital in the
fast paced business world.
Creating faster, more efficient
ways to get through the checkout
line is the goal of any retailer.
Tracking items, getting the latest
data or specifications can occur
through the use of NFC.
Managers can track a variety of
devices, projects, and process in
real-time and deliver a more
efficient response to the user.
If a user needs help, information
is instantly accessible by waving
a smartphone or tablet over an
NFC tag. Providing instant
information on a sale or product
availability can and does account
for added revenue.
Placing NFC tags on product
displays, advertisements or
printed brochures, a customer
can learn the most up-to-date
information extending the life of
printed material.
Instantly paying at the checkout

6. Near Field Communication versus Bluetooth
NFC versus Bluetooth
Bluetooth and NFC share several features, both are forms of wireless communication over short distances. NFC is
limited to a distance of approximately two inches while Bluetooth can reach over thirty feet. It may seem Bluetooth is
superior in this regard, however here are a few comparisons to consider:
•
NFC technology requires no batteries to operate and Bluetooth must have adequate power.
•
Close proximity devices using NFC proves useful in crowded locations and is not encumbered by interference
when other devices are present or trying to communicate. Bluetooth may have trouble dealing with interference
when trying to connect between devices, especially when several other devices are in close proximity.
•
NFC can store different information or functionality and changing it is possible without replacing the NFC tag. The
owner can simply overwrite the information currently on the tag to create new data.
•
Another benefit of NFC technology is its ease of use, there is no settings or scanning involved and connects
automatically and instantly. Bluetooth requires users to manually set up a connection which may take several
seconds and if in a large crowd all connections may be used.
Bluetooth still offers a longer signal range for connections and NFC takes advantage of this by connecting two devices
quickly, then can turn the signal over to Bluetooth so the user may move further away without severing the connection.
As technology improves, Bluetooth and NFC may communicate directly relying on each other to help users.
