The First Roads in Space at the 2024 International Space Development ConferenceMegan Eskey
Reloquence is charting maps of the Moon and Mars that include a network of rover traverses based on a planetary address framework called the Eskey System. To date, Reloquence has named and located 24 roads on the Moon and 8 roads on Mars. We hope to accelerate the advent of space mining and sustained human presence on the Moon and Mars by at least a decade. Longer term, we see the maps as forming the foundation for a space logistics platform, codenamed "Uber Space."
Infrastructure is the backbone of civilization. A multi-planetary civilization needs interplanetary infrastructure to support its expansion, facilitate trade, and keep its citizens and their societies connected. The Interplanetary Infrastructure session at the ISDC considers whether investments in infrastructure, especially two-way transportation infrastructure, can address some of the most pressing problems associated with humanity’s initial efforts to expand into the solar system.
Historically, infrastructure has facilitated human expansion. It increased accessibility and reduced the personal sacrifices that adventurous settlers and their families had to make. Infrastructure projects tend to be somewhat conservative in nature. They generally use technologies and materials that have been applied in other industries and that are already well-understood and well-characterized by engineers. Successful infrastructure projects are economically viable because their long-term benefit to society exceeds their upfront cost, even when the upfront cost is significant. The speakers presenting concepts in this session adhere to these fundamental principles and can demonstrate that their proposals do indeed pencil out.

42 Voices About Open Government - English versionMegan Eskey
The English-language translation of the Open Government project by XIP (Public Innovation Network) in Barcelona, Spain. The articles written by 42 experts are an important source of knowledge for the worldwide Open Government community, and are already the context for debate in administrations and governments in Spanish- and Catalan-speaking communities. Many of the experts are from Spain and remember Franco, so there is a clear anti-fascist subtext, in addition to the primary pro-democracy, pro-OpenGov message. The translation was funded via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that was synched with ISS Expedition 42. 42 is a reference to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/42-voices-about-open-government--43#/story
42 Voices About Open Government - Spanish versionMegan Eskey
I am part of an international project called "42 Voices About Open Government". The Catalan version was presented at the Mobile World Centre in Barcelona on April 10, 2014, with the participation of the Catalan writer Màrius Serra, who conducted the event. The English version will be coming (before summer). The Catalan and Spanish versions are available for download.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": In the radio series and the first novel, a group of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings demand to learn the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything from the supercomputer, Deep Thought, specially built for this purpose. It takes Deep Thought 7.5 million years to compute and check the answer, which turns out to be 42. Deep Thought points out that the answer seems meaningless because the beings who instructed it never actually knew what the Question was.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).
