The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
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.

DEFINITION OF A HOUSEHOLD
A household is a group of people who sleep in the same dwelling and share meals. These people may or may not be related by blood, but make common provision for food or other essentials for living and they have
only one person whom they all regard as the head of the household. A household may consist of one member, a couple or several couples with or without children.
All persons that have been away from the household for more than six months are not considered to be household members EXCEPT:
1) the person who is identified as head of the household even if he/she has not been with the household for nine months or more; 2) a newly born child; 3) students and seasonal workers who have not been living in or
as part of another household.
2. Module B - Household Composition
Respondent should be the head of the household. If the household head is not available, then ask for the second in command (most likely the wife of the household head),
