Security Resources

There are tons of but I wanted to keep track of some I found (for personal reasons) nice while maybe not that known.

• I got the chance to follow the SecAppDev 2007 course.
• I'm an habitué of Hack.lu, A three days conference in the center of Europe for bridging ethics and security in computer science happening yearly since 2005. If you can, try to attend the next edition, you won't regret it!
  • Overview of Wi-Fi Security: What is left?
    My talk in 2005 (pdf) (try here if the other link doesn't work)
  • 802.11 Security: Inaccessible star?
    My talk in 2006 (pdf) (try here if the other link doesn't work)
  • Wi-Fi Protected Setup: Holy Grail?
    My talk in 2007 (pdf) (try here if the other link doesn't work)
    Sci-Fi(?) crypto: brainstorming on how to securely exchange messages while Big Brother has at its disposal nice quantum computers
    an idea I've spread during the HackCamp ;-) Here is a local copy
  • How to make smartcards resistant to hackers' lightsabers?
    My talk in 2008 will be soon published on hack.lu, meanwhile you can get a copy of the paper here and of the slides here (but there are pretty useless without my talk ;-) )
    The Return of the Living Dead (cookies): I did also a short talk about a famous site which doesn't invalidate session cookies on the server side, for years! While on the client side they expire after each session and are never stored, sigh... More soon, stay tuned...

• I just discovered the Forum On Risks To The Public In Computers And Related Systems, this cover many interesting areas as fault-tolerant aircraft systems, e-voting etc
• eCops is the belgian website to report crimes committed on or through the Internet
