TUTORIAL DATE: 26 JUNE 2019 Title: How hackers break into systems and making attacks harder by design
|
 |
Abstract: The presentation explores how hackers actually break into systems and enterprises. It highlights the phases of a cyber-attack, the cyber kill-chain, internet-wide attacks, and government-level threats. An overview is given of typical vulnerabilities and possible backdoors in hardware, firmware, operating systems, and applications. The talk then explores ways to prevent these attacks, particularly how to design systems to be more resilient against attacks.
Bio: Tatu Ylönen invented SSH (Secure Shell), which is now the de facto standard for managing network routers, cloud servers, and many other devices worldwide. It ships standard with every Linux and Mac computer, and is included in countless network devices. He has worked over 20 years in cybersecurity, most recently around key management for the SSH protocol. He is also involved in building security, robustness, and common sense into artificial intelligence.

KEYNOTE DATE: 24 JUNE 2019 Title: Gamify your Learning and Training Activities |
 |
Abstract:
Society spends three milliards hours a week playing computer games; about 5 million individuals play over 45 hours a week. Games motivate people and give them joy. On the other side, we have an educational crisis - more and more people from different ages and profiles are losing interest in learning. Gamification is seen as potential strong concept to support learning.
Furthermore, Gamification has proved much interest for business. Games are being seen as having an increasingly added value, as they are seen as a stimulating means for making many types of activities to be more productive and engaging. This has been geared-up today by the possibily to play nearly everywhere through the use of mobile devices.
The keynote will lay light on innovative concepts in up-to-date uncommon places for the educational field as well as new instruments and innovative gamification platforms.
During the keynote, we will have a game session using your own mobile devices.

KEYNOTE DATE: 25 JUNE 2019 Title: Low Power Wide Area Networks: current alternatives and future directions |
 |
Abstract:
The topic of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWA) is timely as we see the emergence of technologies like Lo-Ra, SigFox, Ingenu and others gaining more and more momentum and market acceptance all over the world. These technologies differs from the communication technologies usually employed in the Internet of Things space since their architecture is no longer based on short distance communications and mesh topologies but instead on long distance (up to 15 km) technologies, very low bit-rate, architecturally similar to the cellular technologies but operating in unlicensed spectrum.
More in detail, the tutorial will present:
1) the emergency of the LPWAN paradigm in contrast to the classical ”mesh networking” paradigm
2) the common architecture of the LPWAN networks
3) a review of the most prominent LPWAN technologies
4) the LoRaWAN architecture
5) the MAC protocol and system architecture, known as LoRaWAN, defined by the Lo-Ra Alliance
6) the LoRaWAN back-end, including the security aspects, roaming, key generations, etc.
