If It Ain't Broken, Do Fix It: Building Modern Cryptography

Security is hard. Modern programming languages help us with memory and type safety, but, even with bleeding edge frameworks and libraries, *getting your crypto right remains hard*. We will take a look at recent cryptographic breaks in **Matrix**, **Threema**, **Bridgefy** and **Mega**, explore the modern cryptographic best practices and why they matter, see what makes **TLS 1.3** special, and discuss how to get to a more secure world together!
This talk is a primer in modern cryptographic best practices, supporting them by examples of recent breaks and vulnerability disclosures. With cryptographic failures showing up every other day in security news, and placing #2 in the "OWASP top 10" web application security list, we want to show why apparently innocuous mistakes can make things go disastrously wrong. We plan to dedicate a part of the talk to open discussion, gathering feedback from developers and maintainer of open source cryptography, with the long term plan of building an high-level cryptographic library that should make developing new cryptographic protocols easier and more secure.

In this 2h workshop, I will teach you to work with the tiny components that modern electronic devices are made of. We will assemble an electronic kitten, that purrs when touched correctly, and hisses when touched wrong. It will work, and is guaranteed to remove your fear of hand-assembling surface mount designs.

The session proposes a quick overview of Frida, a dynamic instrumentation framework, and how it can be used to enhance our work during the runtime analysis of a mobile application. It will be a walkthrough on how hooking and rewriting functions in runtime may be helpful against anti-reverse engineering measures and SSL pinning mechanisms.

Hardware FIDO U2F tokens are security devices which are meant to defend user second factor keys from physical and remote attacks. In this presentation different security features and implemented by FIDO U2F tokens and how they are meant to protect a user from various attack scenarios. We will focus on the open source implementation of FIDO U2F token developed and Common Criteria certified by Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Having access not only to the source code of the token ...

This talk will show you how many interfaces have to communicate in order to fly experiments on a sounding rocket. We will give you insights into the procedures and the complexity of a research campaign and the actual flight of the rocket itself. In particular, we look at the hardware and software used in the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and the Service Module (SM) within the rocket.
