UBITECH presents a scientific paper on ephemeral keys extraction from embedded systems at DCOSS 2021

The paper “Segregating Keys from noncense: Timely Exfil of Ephemeral Keys from Embedded Systems” has been accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS 2021) that takes place 14-16 July 2021 in Cyprus, at the Coral Bay near the city of Pafos. Dr Thanassis Giannetsos, Head of UBITECH’s Digital Security and Trusted Computing Research Group, and his co-author, from DTU, demonstrate how adversaries can, without knowing the software layout or memory data structures of running services, exploit the Key-Exposure Problem (KEP) in network-connected resource-constrained microcontroller-based embedded systems (MCUS) to exfiltrate cryptographic keys, during system operation systematically, without affecting system usability.

UBITECH publishes an e-print on Oblivious Remote Attestation for Secure Service Function Chains at arXiv

In collaboration with Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the European Research Center of Huawei Technologies in Germany, UBITECH publishes a preprint entitled “BLINDTRUST: Oblivious Remote Attestation for Secure Service Function Chains” at the arXiv open-access repository of electronic preprints and postprints (known as e-prints) approved for posting after moderation. Dr Thanassis Giannetsos, Head of UBITECH’s Digital Security and Trusted Computing Research Group, and his co-authors present a lightweight dynamic configuration integrity verification that enables inter and intra-device attestation without disclosing any configuration information and can be applied on both resource-constrained edge devices and cloud services. Their goal is to enhance run-time software integrity and trustworthiness with a scalable solution eliminating the need for federated infrastructure trust.

UBITECH presents a scientific paper on efficient and privacy-preserving revocation in cooperative intelligent transportation systems at ACM WiSec 2021

The paper “Direct Anonymous Attestation on the Road: Efficient and Privacy-Preserving Revocation in C-ITS” has been accepted for presentation at the “14th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks” (ACM WiSec 2021) that takes place as an online, virtual conference from June 28 to July 2, 2021 and is hosted by the Center for Cyber Security at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). The UBITECH’s Digital Security and Trusted Computing research group proposes a novel revocation protocol for Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) based on Direct Anonymous Attestation (DAA) that leverages the benefits of trusted computing to offer an efficient and privacy-respecting solution.

Successful first review for the FARCROSS H2020 Innovation Action

The first review of the FARCROSS H2020 Innovation Action research project with external reviewers and the Project Officer from the European Commission side took place (virtually) on June 16, 2021, wherein the FARCROSS consortium successfully presented the results of the work of the project during the first 18 months of the project. The FARCROSS project aims to connect major stakeholders of the energy value chain and demonstrate integrated hardware and software solutions that will facilitate the “unlocking” of the resources for the cross-border electricity flows and regional cooperation. The project will promote state-of-the-art technologies to enhance the exploitation/capacity/efficiency of transmission grid assets, either on the generation or the transmission level.

UBITECH undertakes the technical coordination of the 5G-IANA Innovation Action on 5G Intelligent Automotive Network Applications

UBITECH participates at the virtual kick-off meeting hosted by ICCS (June 16, 2021) of the 5G-IANA Innovation Action, officially started on June 1st, 2021. The project is funded by the European Commission and the EU Member States under the Horizon 2020 Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101016427) and spans on the period June 2021 – May 2024. The 5G-IANA project aims at providing an open 5G experimentation platform, on top of which third party experimenters (i.e., SMEs) in the Automotive-related 5G-PPP vertical will have the opportunity to develop, deploy and test their services.

UBITECH participates at the OSM#11 Hackfest addressing PowerDNS NF packaging and onboarding to OSM Release TEN

Chris Aslanoglou and Vanias Apostolopoulos, with the support and guidance of Thanos Xirofotos and Dr George Katsikas, all of them members of the Network Softwarization and Internet of Things (NSIT) research group of UBITECH, have participated in the latest OSM#11 Hackfest, which was held online between May 31 and June 04 2021. Our team employed state-of-the-art packaging solutions (i.e., Juju charms) to package the popular PowerDNS network function (NF) and successfully onboarded this NF atop Kubernetes through OSM Release TEN.
