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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

The amount of waste we are creating
is increasing.
The nature of waste itself is changing.
EU waste management policies aim to
reduce the environmental and health
impacts of waste.
However, the increasing complexity of
current waste management systems
and the increasingly demanding
environmental protection targets make
it challenging to optimise waste
management strategies and policies.

Decisions are made based on information of different kinds. Several tools
have been developed to facilitate the inclusion of environmental aspects in
decision-making on different levels.
Which tool to use in a specific situation depends on the decision context.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Risk Assessment (RA) are both
analytical tools applicable in process selection, decision making, design
and optimisation.
A recent survey showed that a considerable
number of decision models and methodologies
for the integration of lifecycle thinking and risk
assessment into waste management have been
developed for several waste streams and wastemanagement and treatment technologies.

If the decision-making situation
concerns a choice between different
waste management options, such as
recycling, incineration and landfilling
To study certain substances within the
waste system, e.g., for incineration
plants
LCA covers potential impacts
throughout the life cycle and does not
include local and specific impacts
RA tool may complement the
information provided as concerns
issues such as compliance with
legislation, product safety, site-specific

The most common approach of
combining LCA and RA is to include
ecotoxicological and toxicological
parameters in life cycle impact
assessment (LCIA) used in a LCA.
Regulatory risk assessment and the
impact assessment part of LCA use the
same type of inherent properties data for
the assessment of toxic impacts.
In waste sector, the combined tools can
be successfully applied in several ways
with a special focus on human health.

The Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) concept and quantitative tools such as
LCA and RA can provide an informed and science-based support to a more
environmentally sustainable decision-making in waste management.
By using LCA and RA tools, decision-makers may get general advice on
choice of waste management options, but they also gain knowledge
regarding the aspects that may have a significant influence on the choice of
alternative.
Data and knowledge from RA are used as input to model the impact
assessment of chemical substances of LCA or LCA can act as a strategic
tool to prioritise the data to acquire and the risk assessments to perform.
LCA and RA are often used separately, but an harmonisation of their
approach and an integration into a common tool or approach that
combines them is a strategic challenge to make more robust decisions
possible.
