The document discusses Philadelphia's creation of a municipal wireless network called Wired Philadelphia. It notes that Philadelphia once struggled economically but now aims to address its lack of internet access. In 2004, Philadelphia created the nonprofit Wired Philadelphia through a partnership with Earthlink. This allowed the city to provide free wireless access to underprivileged residents and public areas, while also generating profit through other paid services.
Daniel Arias of Telefonica Internacional argues that Latin America is a major success story in telecom and currently undergoing revolutionary progress in both fixed and mobile broadband in terms of deployment and penetration. Content is increasingly becoming available driven by many creative cultural reasons in Latin America and the Hispanic approach. Governments have been active in setting national broadband policies - and countries such as Brazil and Chile have placed substantial emphasis on these - but he points out broadband success will continue to come from a competitive private sector environment and although there is a role for government intervention it should be limited to those areas beyond the reach of the private sector.

2020 Telco innovation challenge"
From the inception of Meucci's Teletroffono to the Theatrophon, first on-demand live events broadcasting service, Telecoms have always been a provider of life changing technologies. But since the rise of "Over
The Top" services (Viber, WhatsApp, Skype,etc.), and the duopolistic Google and Apples' app distribution channels, the Telecom industry has been severely challenged. In this session, after reviewing the main disruptions, we will provide scenarios on how the Telco value chain will change in the next 5 years. And show how the app economy, Open Source and APIs are going to lead the change in this industry.

A review of success and failure , lessons learned and recommendations. Approaches include collaborative efforts that involve the work performed at the community level in the "free wi-fi" movement , the private sector and more secure public sector institutions to make public wi-fi a success.
Wi-Fi is the largest attack surface and the most vulnerable attack surface of smart cities. Wi-Fi access and metro Wi-Fi networks are key assets for smart cities.
Smart cities are the wave of the future. IoT is also the wave of the future. Together, smart cities that incorporate and take advantage of IoT technology will be at the leading edge of new urban environments.
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).

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

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.
