    Vaishnavi Sundararajan (Chennai Mathematical Institute, India)

We undertake an abstract study of certification in security protocols, concentrating on the logical properties and derivability of certificates. Specifically, we extend the Dolev-Yao model with a new class of objects called ‘assertions’, along with an associated algebra for deriving new assertions from old ones. We obtain complexity results for the derivability problem and active intruder problem for this model, and provide a case study via the FOO e-voting protocol.

    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[…]

    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[…]
