As society struggles to find clean, affordable, and reliable energy alternatives to meet the energy challenge and mitigate global climate change, it is important that scientists and policy-makers around the world work together to explore solutions. To present the Swiss perspective on sustainable energy alternatives for the future, professor Konstantinos Boulouchos of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) will share the complex interaction between the energy and climate change challenges and provide insight into the ongoing debate surrounding long-term strategic targets like the 2,000-watt versus the one-ton CO2 society.

AirHopper: Bridging the Air-Gap between Isolated Networks and Mobile Phones u...

mordechaiguri

Information is the most critical asset of modern organizations, and accordingly coveted by adversaries. When highly sensitive data is involved, an organization may resort to air-gap isolation, in which there is no networking connection between the inner network and the external world. While infiltrating an air-gapped network has been proven feasible in recent years (e.g., Stuxnet), data exfiltration from an air-gapped network is still considered to be one of the most challenging phases of an advanced cyber-attack. In this paper we present "AirHopper", a bifurcated malware that bridges the air-gap between an isolated network and nearby infected mobile phones using FM signals. While it is known that software can intentionally create radio emissions from a video display unit, this is the first time that mobile phones are considered in an attack model as the intended receivers of maliciously crafted radio signals. We examine the attack model and its limitations, and discuss implementation considerations such as stealth and modulation methods. Finally, we evaluate AirHopper and demonstrate how textual and binary data can be exfiltrated from physically isolated computer to mobile phones at a distance of 1-7 meters, with effective bandwidth of 13-60 Bps (Bytes per second).

Top Rumors About Apple March 21 Big Event

ChromeInfo Technologies

Apple's next press event happens on Monday, March 21 at the company's campus in Cupertino, California. We've already talked about what to expect, in our PPT but to recap: Apple is expected to announce a new 4-inch iPhone that combines the size of the iPhone 5S with features from the iPhone 6 and 6S. It will also supposedly be upgrading the 9.7-inch iPad, giving it updated internals, a Smart Connector, and Apple Pencil support imported from the iPad Pro. The Apple Watch may get some love in the form of new band colors and combinations, but rumors say not to expect a full hardware refresh just yet.

Keep taking the tablets? The graduation of the iPad generation

Martin Hamilton

Over the last ten years, smartphones and tablets and pervasive Internet connectivity have taken over our lives, and more importantly the lives of our children. In this talk for Loughborough University's 2018 Learning and Teaching conference I reflect on how higher education could respond to this trend. I invite the audience to consider what children who have always had access to the sum total of human knowledge will will expect and need from universities in the future, and how we might best support learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to thrive

We’ve grown accustomed to being able to call up any information, anywhere, any time - but what happens when our digital landlord forecloses?

Martin Hamilton

Does it feel like the world has recently become much less certain and predictable? We tend to expect that each day will be like the last, more or less, but incremental change is increasingly feeling like a thing of the past. In this talk for the 2018 Scientia EMEA User Conference I look at how we can read the signals around us to better predict the future, and consider the impact of technologies and trends like blockchain, artificial intelligence and Brexit on further and higher education

From Blockchain to Brexit - edtech trends for 2018 - BETT 2018

Martin Hamilton

In this talk for BETT 2018 I take a look at a few of the socio-technical trends that are set to have a big impact on universities and colleges in 2018 from blockchain to Brexit, and data vandalism to UK spaceports. I look at some approaches that institutions can take to help plan for an uncertain future, and consider how the community can mobilise to protect the progressive values that now often seem to be under threat.

Martin Hamilton - Librarians in Outer Space - CILIP invited talk

Martin Hamilton

We are becoming used to living in an interconnected world, with vast amounts of data at our fingertips, but what happens when our preconceptions are challenged? What happens when the things that we take for granted simply don’t work any more? How can librarians rise to the challenge? In this invited talk for CILIP, I reflect on the impact for libraries and librarians of some of the defining narratives of the late Anthropocene era: from climate change and failed states to cheap space travel and artificial intelligence

Martin Hamilton

In this invited talk for the BCS I look at the state of the art in robots and artificial intelligence, and what this tells us about the near-term future that our children and grandchildren will live in. Will the imminent arrival of AI powered self-driving vehicles mean redundancies for truck and taxi drivers? What will these people do next? I also show how robots and AI are already becoming commonplace, working in places like shops, restaurants and distribution centres

Martin Hamilton - What did your AI make today? - BCS invited talk

Martin Hamilton

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used extensively by Internet services to help us find and classify information. This is how products like Google Photos can "magically" find all your photos of cats or trees - or cats up trees! But there's a new wave of AI called generative adversarial neural networks that's all about using AI to make things. In this invited talk for the British Computer Society (BCS) I reflect on what we could use this technology for and the implications for people and society.

HPC in the cloud comes of age - Red Oak HPC Seminar

Martin Hamilton

What does HPC in the cloud look like in 2017, and how did we get there? In this talk for Red Oak's HPC Seminar, I look at the origins of cloud HPC, and how it has become mainstream through technologies like Amazon Web Services and OpenStack. I also offer a sneak preview of the 2017 UK national e-Infrastructure survey results, and some thoughts about what's next in cloud HPC, from hyperscale providers to the momentum behind container technologies from Docker and the Open Container Initiative.
