Respirators, Runtime Errors, Regulations – A Journey into Medical Software Realization
Medical devices come in all shapes and sizes, and a great deal of them contain – or consist of – software. If they are faulty, they can kill. We’ll talk about different types and classes of medical devices, the regulations that try to ensure their safety and what all of this means for medical software projects.
So you have a great idea for a medical product with software that will make the world a better place? It helps people to regain or improve their health, cope with a permanent condition or analyze their vital stats? That’s fantastic! What could possibly go wrong?
History has shown that faults in medical devices can have disastrous consequences. Those products may cause severe injury, permanent damage, even death. In order to make sure that your product does not harm its users there is a bunch of regulations that you have to comply with. How does this affect your work?
First we’ll take a look at where to find software in or around medical devices from embedded code to stand-alone sofware with AI. Then I’ll provide a few infamous examples of what went wrong (including a great talk about faulty software in pacemakers from CCC Camp 2019 – you know, that last great event before THE VIRUS).
Then we’ll talk about the regulatory part, especially at the EU Medical Device Regulation and what it means for planning, implementing and maintaining software for medical products (my favourite topic: traceability. ;-) ). It’s also of interest for non-EU participants because many of the regulations are ISO-harmonized.

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
