Building, deploying and testing an industrial linux platform @ Open source su...SZ Lin
To introduce a robust, secure and reliable platform for the industrial environments is a key challenge. Therefore, running with the industrial-grade Linux distribution to fulfill the requirements mentioned above is imperative. The Linux distribution includes the Linux kernel and user space. Based on this testing design, the distribution will be built, deployed and tested in the device under automatic test by using continuous integration development practice to withstand the harsh industrial environments. In this presentation, SZ Lin will introduce how the industrial-grade Linux distribution is built, deployed and tested without human intervention, and review the test scope in both Linux kernel and user space. In addition, he will also address the design architecture of 24/7 long-term automated testing in all device under test with each release of new update.

The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) delivers advanced, agent-free local and remote server administration.This slide deck covers some of advanced features of the latest iDRAC9 embedded in Dell EMC PowerEdge 14 generation of servers. .
What do “Crazy in Love” by Beyonce and the “Xen Project” have in common? They are both 15-year-old hits. Flash forward to today. The Xen Project is used by more than 10 million users, powers some of the largest clouds on the planet, and is starting to build momentum in embedded and safety-conscious market segments. The Xen Project played a key role in developing technologies outside of the hypervisor, like hardware virtualization, and open source security disclosure standards that impact entire industries.
The Xen Project’s success and longevity can be attributed to its flexible architecture, but more importantly to enabling community members to contribute ideas and code, even if they are not core to the project's main use-case. We will share how the project has supported new technologies and ideas (sometimes in the form of failures and sometimes wins) and will derive best practices that may help other projects .

XPDDS17: Introduction to Intel SGX and SGX Virtualization - Kai Huang, IntelThe Linux Foundation
In era of cloud computing, security is becoming more and more critical for customers. In existing HW/SW architecture hypervisor does not protect tenants against the cloud provider and thus the supplied operating system and hardware. Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX) provides a mechanism that addresses this scenario. It aims at protecting user-level software from attacks from other processes, the operating system, and even physical attackers. Intel SGX makes such protection possible through the use of enclave, which is a protected area in userspace application where the code/data cannot be accessed directly by any software from outside. This presentation intends to give you an introduction of Intel SGX technology, including what it is, how it works, and the existing SW stack to enable SGX for customers, followed by introduction of our work to support SGX virtualization in Xen hypervisor, including the high-level design, current status and future plan.
Hypervisors were once seen as purely cloud and server technologies, but have slowly seeped into the embedded space providing extra layers of security. This discussion will showcase how companies from security vendors to automotive are using open source hypervisors (particularly Xen Project) to secure embedded systems, what challenges they face and how they have overcome it. We will also explore what this might mean to IoT at large and how to get started in securing your embedded system with a hypervisor-first approach.

The topic will cover content such as: * Why virtualisation in embedded * Hypervisor architectures on ARM and a quick roundup of examples * Relevant security technologies * Specific requirements for embedded systems * Example usage of FOSS based hypervisors in embedded * Challenges such as safety certification and how this may be approached
XPDDS19: How TrenchBoot is Enabling Measured Launch for Open-Source Platform ...The Linux Foundation
TrenchBoot is a cross-community OSS integration project for hardware-rooted, late launch integrity of open and proprietary systems. It provides a general purpose, open-source DRTM kernel for measured system launch and attestation of device integrity to trust-centric access infrastructure. TrenchBoot closes the UEFI Measurement Gap and reduces the need to trust system firmware. This talk will introduce TrenchBoot architecture and a recent collaboration with Oracle to launch the Linux kernel directly with Intel TXT or AMD SVM Secure Launch. It will propose mechanisms for integrating the Xen hypervisor into a TrenchBoot system launch. DRTM-enabled capabilities for client, server and embedded platforms will be presented for consideration by the Xen community.
UEFI Firmware Rootkits: Myths and RealitySally Feller
Earlier this month, we teased a proof of concept for UEFI ransomware which was presented at RSA Conference 2017. The HackingTeam, Snowden, Shadow Brokers, and Vault7 leaks have revealed that UEFI/BIOS implants aren't just a theoretical concept but have actually been weaponized by nation states to conduct cyber espionage. Physical access requirements are a thing of the past, these low level implants can be installed remotely by exploiting vulnerabilities in the underlying UEFI system.
Today at BlackHat Asia 2017, we are disclosing two vulnerabilities in two different models of the GIGABYTE BRIX platform:
GB-BSi7H-6500 – firmware version: vF6 (2016/05/18)
GB-BXi7-5775 – firmware version: vF2 (2016/07/19)

The Xen Project supports some of the biggest clouds in production today and is moving into new industries, like security and automotive. Usually, you will use Xen indirectly as part of a commercial product, a distro, a hosting or cloud service and only indirectly use Xen. By following this session you will learn how Xen and virtualization work under the hood exploring high-level topics like architecture concepts related to virtualization to more technical attributes of the hypervisor like memory management (ballooning), virtual CPUs, scheduling, pinning, saving/restoring and migrating VMs.
The goal of this test plan is to test SPECTRE and MELTDOWN performance impact on Intel CPU. We will run CPU intensive workloads in Virtual Machine(s) running on non-patched and patched ESXi host and observe performance impact.
We will test impact on network, storage and memory performance because these I/O intensive workloads requires CPU caching which is impacted by vulnerabilities remediation.
Qualification of performance is very specific and hard subject. The performance impact varies across different hardware and software configurations. However, performed tests are very well described in this document so the reader can understand all conditions of the test and observed results. The reader can also perform tests on his specific hardware and software configurations.
The presentation will cover Xen Automotive. We will elaborate technical solutions for the identified gaps:
1. ARM architecture - support HW virtualization extensions for embedded systems
2. Stability requirements
3. RT Scheduler
4. Rich virtualized peripheral support (WiFi, Gfx, MM, USB, etc.)
5. Performance benchmarking
6. Security
XPDDS18: Design Session - SGX deep dive and SGX Virtualization Discussion, Ka...The Linux Foundation
Software Guard Extensions (SGX) is Intel's unique security feature which has been present in Intel's processors since Skylake generation. Existing HW/SW solutions hypervisor does not protect tenants against the cloud provider and thus the supplied operating system and hardware. Intel SGX solves this by using enclave, which is a protected portion of userspace application where the code/data cannot be accessed directly from outside by any software, including privileged ones, such as BIOS and VMM. This discussion is intended for the deep dive introduction to SGX, and the design discussion of adding SGX virtualization to Xen. We will start with SGX deep dive, and then go into SGX virtualization design, from high level design to details, such as EPC management/virtualization, CPUID handling, interaction with VMX, live migration support, etc.
OSSA17 - Live patch, VMI, Security Mgmt (50 mins, no embedded demos)The Linux Foundation
The talk covers several technologies and best practices to managing Security Vulnerabilities, which are told as interconnected stories.
We will cover how the largest clouds in production came together through the Xen Project to develop an industry leading open source security process to manage software vulnerabilities effectively, how those vendors collaborated to stop cloud reboots through Live Patching and how security and CPU vendors collaborated to protect against 0-day vulnerabilities and advanced persistent threats using hardware assisted virtual machine introspection. Finally, we will also provide information how you can use tools such as CVE Details to assess how secure an open source technology is relative to another, such that you don't have to rely solely on security stories from the technology press.
The talk will cover how these technologies work, the limitations and challenges which still remain and how they are used in practice using examples of Xen Project based products and installations. We will also cover how these technologies impact software vulnerability management processes and system administrators.
This talk provides an overview of the Xen Project eco-system and its main use-cases in a number of important market segments: it covers server virtualization, cloud computing and embedded, automotive and related. Lars Kurth highlights why the Xen Project is relevant in these market segments: he provides an overview of the Xen Project's architecture, relevant existing functionality and ongoing and planned developments. To complement the picture, he covers open-source projects that are related to Xen and are of interest for these use-cases. Excellent Software security is key to all of these use-cases. Thus, Lars specifically covers the Xen Project's security features, track record and touches on the project's security practices. He concludes with a few resources that help you get started with the Xen Project and highlight Internship Programs which the project supports.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
