The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure scans the internet for vulnerabilities and reports these to the people who can fix them. Our researchers will go into some of our recent cases, our board members will describe how we professionalise vulnerability disclosure and why we are allowed to somewhat break laws on computer crime and privacy.
The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure scans the internet from our own AS (50.559) for vulnerabilities and reports these to the people who can fix them. In this session our board members will describe how we professionalise vulnerability disclosure with an independent foundation, a Code of Conduct, a common identity, a collaboration platform for independent researchers and a CSIRT to report vulnerabilities to owners of vulnerable systems.
Our researchers will go into some of our more known cases, ranging from Citrix 2020, to KaseyaVSA and Log4j in 2021 and others which commenced between filing this proposal and the conference. They will demonstrate how to scan, validate data, report to users and how they responded.
By doing this, we kind of break several laws on computer crime and privacy protection. Still, we are allowed to as we serve to make the internet more secure. Moreover, we also guide young security researchers to the responsible path of vulnerability disclosure. And we do it Dutch style: open, direct and for free.

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.
