Blockchain and digital currencies: between European regulation and technological challenges
Speaker : Loïc Miller - CentraleSupélec
As the European Union develops a legal framework for crypto-assets and data protection, the technological question underlying the emergence of a genuine digital currency remains open. Blockchain today stands as an interdisciplinary field of study at the crossroads of computer science, economics, and law. This presentation will place the ongoing regulatory framework in perspective with the[…]-

Vers l’émergence d’un droit européen pour la Blockchain : Une approche sous l’angle de la Privacy et de l’encadrement des crypto-actifs
Speaker : Damien Franchi - Univ Rennes, IODE
La Blockchain, technologie derrière Bitcoin, fait l’objet d’un encadrement juridique de plusen plus important, en particulier de la part de l’Union européenne. Curieusement, le mot« Blockchain » n’apparaît pas dans les textes l’encadrant. Les expressions « technologie deregistres distribués » (Distributed ledger technology, DLT), ou, parfois, « registreélectronique » lui sont plutôt privilégiées.[…]-

CHERIoT RTOS: An OS for Fine-Grained Memory-Safe Compartments on Low-Cost Embedded Devices
Speaker : Hugo Lefeuvre - The University of British Columbia
Embedded systems do not benefit from strong memory protection, because they are designed to minimize cost. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to connect embedded devices to the internet, where their vulnerable nature makes them routinely subject to compromise. This fundamental tension leads to the current status-quo where exploitable devices put individuals and critical infrastructure[…]-

What you never wanted to know about vulnerability databases
Speaker : Henrik Plate - Endor Labs
Vulnerability databases play a crucial role in modern software security, serving as the backbone for Application Security (AppSec) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. However, the accuracy and reliability of these databases vary significantly, often leading to misinformed security decisions. This talk explores the challenges associated with vulnerability databases, including incomplete[…]-

Malware Detection with AI Systems: bridging the gap between industry and academia
Speaker : Luca Demetrio - University of Genova
With the abundance of programs developed everyday, it is possible to develop next-generation antivirus programs that leverage this vast accumulated knowledge. In practice, these technologies are developed with a mixture of established techniques like pattern matching, and machine learning algorithms, both tailored to achieve high detection rate and low false alarms. While companies state the[…]-

Black-Box Collision Attacks on Widely Deployed Perceptual Hash Functions and Their Consequences
Speaker : Diane Leblanc-Albarel - KU Leuven
Perceptual hash functions identify multimedia content by mapping similar inputs to similar outputs. They are widely used for detecting copyright violations and illegal content but lack transparency, as their design details are typically kept secret. Governments are considering extending the application of these functions to Client-Side Scanning (CSS) for end-to-end encrypted services: multimedia[…]-
