Hello again.

Andrei Costin (at http://firmware.re project) is here, and this is the second post from a series of guest postings courtesy of ERNW (thanks Niki and Enno!).

Introduction & CCS’16 – Day 1 – 24th October 2016

I am Andrei Costin (at http://firmware.re project), and this is the first post from a series of guest postings courtesy of ERNW.

Between 24th and 28th October, I had the pleasure and the great opportunity to attend ACM CCS 2016 in Vienna, Austria, where I also presented at the TrustED’16 workshop my paper titled “Security of CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems: Threats, Vulnerabilities, Attacks, and Mitigations”.

My attendance throughout the entire ACM CCS 2016 week and my presentation at TrustED was possible thanks to generous support from Enno Rey and ERNW, and I thank them again for this opportunity!

In these guest postings I am going to summarize the talks I have attended, and will try to make you interested in exploring more on each of the mentioned papers. Continue reading “Introduction & CCS’16 – Day 1 – 24th October 2016”

TelcoSecDay 2017 – CFP Opens

For the 6th year in a row, the next TelcoSecDay will take place in 2017 on March 21th. Again, it will be held one day before Troopers IT-Security Conference as an invitation-only event.

To do so, various topics will be presented during the talks and there will surely be enough time to follow-up in extensive discussions.
