Cyber Security Webinar by Roland Kromes MSc - Modeling a low-power IoT architecture for Blockchain and Smart Contract applications

Cyber Security Webinar by Roland Kromes MSc - Modeling a low-power IoT architecture for Blockchain and Smart Contract applications 23 November 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/93459336716?pwd=VFk4N3dCQTF2TUlHYnBLejk0dFVPUT09 Meeting ID: 934 5933 6716 Passcode: 389654 Abstract Nowadays, most IoT applications are based on a centralized system in which all of the system participants have to rely on a central entity. In such a system, data immutability, data traceability, and transparency cannot be provided. Blockchain technology is an entirely decentralized system in which the third trusted party (central entity) is removed. Contrarily to centralized systems, blockchain technology provides data immutability, traceability, and transparency. Most modern blockchains also allow the deployment of smart contracts, which are digital programs that can be read by all participants and executed automatically according to an event on the blockchain. These advantageous features of blockchain technology show a clear interest in the integration of IoT with blockchain technology. The contribution's main objectives are the study of the integration possibilities of IoT with blockchain technology and the development of a model of dedicated low-power-consumption IoT hardware architecture that enables communication with multiple types of blockchain. The proposed blockchain APIs (Ethereum, Hyperledger Sawtooth) are written in C++. These APIs can create valid transactions. The IoT architecture model's CPU is emulated with QEMU and the dedicated cryptographic hardware accelerators are modeled in SystemC-TLM high-level hardware description language. As QEMU and SystemC-TLM work on different time environments, they must be synchronized by a co-simulation platform. The CPU of the proposed IoT architecture executes a Linux Operating System, which runs blockchain APIs. These APIs cannot have direct access to the hardware accelerators. In order to handle access to the hardware accelerators and the orchestration of dedicated power management, Linux Kernel device drivers were developed. The results represent that a significant reduction of the overall energy consumption can be achieved when the elliptic curve point multiplication and hash operations are hardware accelerated.

Cyber Security Webinar by Dr. Yunpeng Li - Uncertainty quantification and propagation in high-dimensional spaces

Cyber Security Webinar by Dr. Yunpeng Li - Uncertainty quantification and propagation in high-dimensional spaces 28 September 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/99314357068 Meeting ID: 993 1435 7068 Passcode: 678062 Abstract: Deep learning models, which are cornerstones in the success of modern machine learning applications, often lack representation of uncertainty or produce overconfident predictions that can lead to costly consequences. The optimal transport theory has found it application in quantifying uncertainty in large-scale machine learning problems by measuring the Wasserstein distance between data distributions. Separately, for real-world sequential inference applications, differentiable filters provided a mathematically principled framework to propagate model uncertainty. This talk will hence be divided into two parts. In the first part, I will discuss a new family of slice-based Wasserstein distance metrics, called augmented sliced Wasserstein distances (ASWDs), with a novel incorporation of injective neural networks. ASWDs learns nonlinear projections that can capture the complex structure of the data distributions which improve their projection efficiency. In the second part, I will discuss our recent efforts in constructing more expressive dynamic model and proposal distributions in the differentiable particle filtering framework through normalizing flow. In addition, I will introduce an end-to-end learning objective based upon the maximisation of a pseudo-likelihood function which can improve the estimation of states when large portion of groundtruth information are unknown. Bio: Dr Yunpeng Li is Senior Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Surrey in the UK. Before joining Surrey as a Lecturer in AI in 2018, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Machine Learning Research Group in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and was a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College at Oxford.

Cyber Security Webinar by Martin Fejrskov MSc - Using NetFlow to measure the impact of deploying DNS-based blacklists

Cyber Security Webinar by Martin Fejrskov MSc - Using NetFlow to measure the impact of deploying DNS-based blacklists 12 October 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/95465881342 Meeting ID: 954 6588 1342 Passcode: 808322 Abstract To prevent user exposure to a wide range of cyber security threats, organizations and companies often resort to deploying blacklists in DNS resolvers or DNS firewalls. The impact of such a deployment is often measured by comparing the coverage of individual blacklists, by counting the number of blocked DNS requests, or by counting the number of flows redirected to a benign web page that contains a warning to the user. This paper suggests an alternative to this by using NetFlow data to measure the effect of a DNS-based blacklist deployment. Our findings suggest that only 38-40\% of blacklisted flows are web traffic. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the flows blacklisted by IP address, and it is shown that the majority of these are potentially benign, such as flows towards a web server hosting both benign and malicious sites. Finally, the flows blacklisted by domain name are categorized as either spam or malware, and it is shown that less than 6\% are considered malicious. Short bio: Martin Fejrskov is an Industrial Ph.D. student at Telenor Denmark and Aalborg University focusing on detecting cybersecurity threats with data from Internet Service Providers.

Cyber Security Webinar by Dr. Shihui Fu of the University of Waterloo - Transparent Succinct Zero-Knowledge Arguments for R1CS with Efficient Verifier

Cyber Security Webinar by Dr. Shihui Fu of the University of Waterloo - Transparent Succinct Zero-Knowledge Arguments for R1CS with Efficient Verifier 09 November 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/95108026354?pwd=RVhXS3EwQjIyZnVzNk1ScWNzQmtTdz09 Meeting ID: 951 0802 6354 Passcode: 378365 Abstract We propose Polaris, a zkSNARK with quasi-linear prover time and both polylogarithmic proof size and verification time in the size of the arithmetic circuit representing the statement. By instantiating with different commitment schemes, we obtain several zkSNARKs where the verifier's costs and the proof size range from $O(\log^2{N})$ to $O(\sqrt{N})$ depending on the underlying polynomial commitment schemes. All these schemes do not require a trusted setup. It is plausibly post-quantum secure when instantiated with a secure collision-resistant hash function. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that Polaris offers a much lower verification time than Ligero and Aurora for instances with large sizes as we reduce the complexity from linear to polylogarithmic. Short bio Shihui Fu received his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, CAS in 2018. Currently, he is a post-doc in University of Waterloo.

Cyber Security Webinar by Rui Wang MSc - Privacy-preserving Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning

Cyber Security Webinar by Rui Wang MSc - Privacy-preserving Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning 07 December 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/93851661903?pwd=UzhXVlAxellBUDhRRXdyNWYyOGdlUT09 Meeting ID: 938 5166 1903 Passcode: 931813 Abstract Privacy and Byzantine-robustness are two major concerns of federated learning (FL), but mitigating both threats simultaneously is highly challenging: privacy-preserving strategies prohibit access to individual model updates to avoid leakage, while Byzantine-robust methods require access for comprehensive mathematical analysis. Besides, most Byzantine-robust methods only work in the honest-majority setting. In this webinar, I will introduce previous works about this topic and presents some expected experimental results about Privacy-preserving FL to resist > 1/2 Byzantine attacks.

Cyber Security Webinar by Daniël Vos Msc - Training Robust Decision Trees Against Adversarial Examples

Cyber Security Webinar by Daniël Vos Msc - Training Robust Decision Trees Against Adversarial Examples 14 September 2021 12:00 till 12:45 - Location: Zoom meeting Join Zoom Meeting https://tudelft.zoom.us/j/94484315617 Meeting ID: 944 8431 5617 Passcode: 049126 Abstract Decision trees and tree ensembles are among the most popular machine learning models for tabular data but they suffer from adversarial examples. When we make specific changes to a model's input, the resulting prediction can be completely wrong. Since this finding, researchers have proposed different methods to train trees that are robust so such attacks. However, these methods can take hours to run and offer no performance guarantees. In this seminar we will look at how to speed up training by orders of magnitude and explain how we can prove the optimality of robust decision trees.

Research lines

To serve society, the focus of the group is on two main research lines: assessment of existing concrete structures The group is famous for the research on failure mechanisms, especially shear failure, development of non-destructive techniques such as acoustic emission for damage detection (monitoring), and on assessing and developing guidelines for proof loading of existing structures. upscaling of innovative types of concrete Group activities are focused on developing safe procedures for the structural application of new types of concretes in order to serve societal demands. For example, using Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) for developing a fast and safe procedure for the replacement of existing bridges, using UHPFRC and bendable concrete (SHCC) for strengthening and repair or “green” (geopolymer) concrete as more sustainable building material. Current interest of the group is to investigate and develop a guideline for a safe structural application of these materials in reinforced and pre-stressed elements and structures.

A key solution to grid congestion

On behalf of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, researchers Kenneth Brunninx and Simon Tindemans are handing over a Position Paper to the Dutch Parliament on 14 November 2024, with a possible solution to the major grid capacity problems that are increasingly cropping up in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is unlikely to meet the 2030 climate targets, and one of the reasons for this is that large industry cannot switch to electricity fast enough, partly because of increasingly frequent problems around grid capacity and grid congestion. In all likelihood, those problems will actually increase this decade before they can decrease, the researchers argue. The solution offered by the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute researchers is the ‘flexible backstop’. With a flexible backstop, the current capacity of the power grid can be used more efficiently without sacrificing safety or reliability. A flexible backstop is a safety mechanism that automatically and quickly reduces the amount of electricity that an electric unit can draw from the grid (an electric charging station or a heat pump) or deliver (a PV installation). It is a small device connected or built into an electrical unit, such as a charging station or heat pump, that ‘communicates’ with the distribution network operator. In case of extreme stress on the network, the network operator sends a signal to the device to limit the amount of power. Germany recently introduced a similar system with electric charging stations. The backstop would be activated only in periods of acute congestion problems and could help prevent the last resort measure, which is cutting off electricity to users. ‘Upgrading the electricity network remains essential, but in practice it will take years. So there is a need for short-term solutions that can be integrated into long-term planning. We, the members of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, call on the government, network operators and regulator to explore the flexible backstop as an additional grid security measure,’ they said.

Explainer: Ice Melt and Antarctica

It is most unlikely to happen, but if all the ice in Antarctica were to melt, the sea level would rise 57 metres. That would put the Netherlands almost completely under water. For a long time, scientists thought this was impossible: the South Pole is unassailable. It turns out otherwise. Our PhD candidate Sophie de Roda Husman investigates the real situation and explains that one fragmenting ice shelf triggers a series of events that accelerate the melting process in this movie from Universiteit van Nederland. For her doctorate Sophie created a historical record of Antarctic surface melt that is high-resolution in both space and time, by gathering a large amount of data with remote sensing techniques. Watch the movie (in Dutch):

Switch from Qualtrics to Microsoft Forms

A new platform for creating and managing surveys The current survey creation and management platform, Qualtrics, will soon be phased out. Microsoft Forms will be the new platform for collecting data through surveys for the time being. A tender for TU-wide survey software will be launched soon. Why this change? Qualtrics is being phased out due to the doubling of costs. As an alternative, Microsoft Forms survey software offers better integration with our existing systems, a higher level of security and greater ease of use. This will make it easier and more efficient for everyone to create and complete surveys. What does this mean for you? Qualtrics will only be supported for current surveys. In fact, once Qualtrics is discontinued, it will no longer be possible to retrieve or migrate data from this platform. It is therefore important to migrate any current or upcoming surveys to Microsoft Forms as soon as possible. All use of Qualtrics must be closed and archived by 1 July 2025. Tender A tender for TU-wide survey software will be launched soon. Do you have requirements you would like to share? Let us know at projectsurveytool-esa@tudelft.nl .

Designing for Human Autonomy in the age of autonomous technologies

The drive for autonomous technology spans from workplaces to personal lives, promising breakthroughs in safety, healthcare, and daily conveniences. But this raises a crucial question: What happens to human autonomy? And how to enhance it through design? Historically seen as a tool to enhance our freedom, today’s technology risks undermining human control and agency.
