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.

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.

Needs Private and public investment to create • Organize the downtown into unique districts with a specific focus and character;• Direct desired land uses (office/employment) in key locaions and districts; • Establish a high quality public realm with regard to securing human comfort (sun, wind)• Link this district to existing public and private investment & surrounding neighbourhoods; The overall Framework Plan builds upon and refines the work of “OPA20” and establishes a clear foundaional structure for Downtown made up of a network of streets and blocks, the integraion of new transit, an expanded public realm of parks, squares and trails including city-wide and regional linkages and elements of community infrastructure needed to support an expanded Downtown populaion. It provides a key focus on place-making with quality public spaces and lays the framework within which individual building projects will contribute to a greater downtown as a whole.

There are two types of Low-E glass hard coated and soft coated. Hard coated is more durable and easier to install than soft coated Low-E glass but has a lower insulating performance compared to soft coated Low-E glass (Carter, 2011). Soft coated Low-E glass is more fragile and can oxidize when exposed to moisture. This makes soft coated Low-E glass more expensive to install and maintain but it has a higher insulating performance compared to hard coated Low-E glass (Carter, 2011).
These systems are inefficient because majority of the warm and cool air is lost through the ventilation and they take longer to circulate the air throughout the building (EERE, 2011)Radiant heating is similar to when you place your hand over a hot stove. The warm feeling of heat in your hands is caused by radiant energy being released from the stove. The same effect is true when you walk through the frozen food section of a supermarket. The cooler air escaped from the freezers and cools that section of the store. Hydronic radiant systems use water in tubes that are mounted in panels that are installed into walls, ceilings and floors.
