With the latest optical timing channel (OTC) technology, PTP-optimized optical transport can be used to distribute accurate timing all the way from the core of the network to the edge. What’s more, this can be delivered through GNSS/GPS-backup-as-a-service (GBaaS), whereby a specialized service provider operates a robust and reliable network, supplying precise and secure timing as a backup to highly vulnerable GNSS. In his ITSF 2022 presentation, Igal Pinhasov explored the value of utilizing GBaaS to provide accurate time for data centers using optical timing channel technology over long distances.

Open optical edge connecting mobile access networksADVA
Generic optics, developed for applications different from RANs, may not fit the requirements of the mobile transport network. Optical components natively conceived for radio access and based on technologies driven by its requirements (right optics at the right time and the right cost) would accelerate the pace at which RANs are deployed and decrease the relative cost of the optics as part of the total RAN solution. In this session, Jim Zou looked at how emerging innovation is enhancing networking energy efficiency. While today’s solutions focus on high-end performance and end user experience, tomorrow’s infrastructure must also balance energy efficiency with varying traffic loads, and designs focused on sustainability.

From leased lines to optical spectrum servicesADVA
This document discusses optical spectrum as a service, which allows communication service providers (CSPs) to sell unused optical spectrum. Advances in coherent transport and flexgrid open line systems now enable CSPs to segment spectrum into slices and assign them to different users. This transforms spectrum into a new service that CSPs can offer beyond traditional leased lines. Realizing spectrum as a service requires an open line system with programmable spectrum allocation, flexible grid technology, service demarcation functions, and network slicing through open control and management. Several examples demonstrate how spectrum services are being implemented in multi-domain and multi-operator networks.
The document discusses the shift towards using coherent optical technology at the network edge. It argues that 100G QSFP28 ports using coherent 100ZR technology will dominate the optical edge in the coming years. This will allow for longer transmission reaches of over 300km compared to traditional direct detection. Key advantages of coherent 100ZR include lower power consumption of 5W or less in a QSFP28 form factor, simplified deployment without manual tuning, and compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The technology could enable seamless upgrades to 100G speeds at aggregation points across access networks.

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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
