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.

John Webster is a software engineer in a tech startup located in downtown San Francisco. He lives in Milpitas and commutes to the city for work mostly by public transportation. It usually takes him 90 to 120 minutes from home to office, depends on how early he leaves home. He likes driving which gives him more flexibility but doesn’t do it for work because He doesn’t want to drive through the traffic jam on the highway and spend endless time looking for parking spot near office.

We ask ourselves, how we imagine the future of transportation and how lit motors will be a part in it.
The 10 year vision of the company is to create large scale and efficient personal mobility vehicles and we are rightfully ambitious.
In the left most corner, is the C-1, our primary launch vehicle. We put our CEO’s picture next up, and it is only because we also realize that a large part of our market exists not just in the US, but stretches far beyond to asia and bustling cities alike. Highly integrated EVs can completely integrate with solar infrastructure and serve as a key mobility device even in rural regions. Being under-developed, they have a lower resistance to innovation with a rapid pace of adoption and would be potential market if we can bring low-cost, effective and safe personal evs to these markets.
The images on the right looks straight out of robocop, but are concept arts that even the team feels like it’s a future not too far away. Autonomous vehicles are about to alter the landscape of the automobile industry with its pulse right from CMU’s campus. Having police scooters and small transport vehicles to perform autonomous delivery shouldn’t be that far fetched.
The last picture on the right is purely to show you how competitors like the BMW motard NEXT 100, the bmw vision is very close to ours. The only difference now is that you can invest in us and not them.
So how will we enact this vision?
We have a short term plan that encapsulates the essence of our vision.
