Professor Hof erhält Best Paper Award

Lukas Pürgstein (geb. Braun) und Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Hof haben für Ihre Veröffentlichung “A System to Save the Internet from the Malicious Internet of Things at Home” den Best Paper Award der angesehenen Konferenz “The Eleventh International Conference on Emerging Security Information, Systems and Technologies” erhalten. Herr Pürgstein wird von Prof. Hof im Rahmen des Master of Applied Research an der Hochschule München betreut.

Abstract der Veröffentlichung:

“Botnets are a big hassle for the Internet. A recent attack by the Mirai botnet showed how easy it is to

exploit Internet of Things devices and use them for malicious activities, e.g., for sending spam or executing Distributed Denial of Service attacks. Hence, increasing protection of Internet of Things
(IoT) devices as well as increasing protection against malicious Internet of Things devices is an important challenge. Many of the Internet of Things devices used in the Mirai botnet are located in smart homes (e.g., surveillance cameras). This paper presents a novel smart home security system that raises the bar for an attacker by separating different classes of Internet of Things devices in a smart home from each other, as well as separating other devices within the smart home network (e.g., desktop computers) from Internet of Things devices. Amongst other measures , the smart home security system enforces strict security policies on outgoing communication of Internet of Things devices. By doing so, the proposed smart home security system is able to limit the effect hacked Internet of Things devices in a smart home haveon the Internet.”

Weitere Informationen:

SECURWARE 2017, The Eleventh International Conference on Emerging Security Information Systems and Technologies, is an event covering related topics on theory and practice on security, cryptography, secure protocols, trust, privacy, confidentiality, vulnerability, intrusion detection and other areas related to low enforcement, security data mining, malware models, etc.

Security, defined for ensuring protected communication among terminals and user applications across public and private networks, is the core for guaranteeing confidentiality, privacy, and data protection. Security affects business and individuals, raises the business risk, and requires a corporate and individual culture. In the open business space offered by Internet, it is a need to improve defences against hackers, disgruntled employees, and commercial rivals. There is a required balance between the effort and resources spent on security versus security achievements. Some vulnerability can be addressed using the rule of 80:20, meaning 80% of the vulnerabilities can be addressed for 20% of the costs. Other technical aspects are related to the communication speed versus complex and time consuming cryptography/security mechanisms and protocols.

Digital Ecosystem is defined as an open decentralized information infrastructure where different networked agents, such as enterprises (especially SMEs), intermediate actors, public bodies and end users, cooperate and compete enabling the creation of new complex structures. In digital ecosystems, the actors, their products and services can be seen as different organisms and species that are able to evolve and adapt dynamically to changing market conditions.

Digital Ecosystems lie at the intersection between different disciplines and fields: industry, business, social sciences, biology, and cutting edge ICT and its application driven research. They are supported by several underlying technologies such as semantic web and ontology-based knowledge sharing, self-organizing intelligent agents, peer-to-peer overlay networks, web services-based information platforms, and recommender systems.

To enable safe digital ecosystem functioning, security and trust mechanisms become essential components across all the technological layers. The aim is to bring together multidisciplinary research that ranges from technical aspects to socio-economic models.

As a multi-track event, SECURWARE 2017 will serve as a forum for researchers from the academia and the industry, professionals, standard developers, policy makers and practitioners to exchange ideas. The topics could be on techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs (both in research and practices) related to all aspects of information security, security systems and technologies.

2nd GI/ACM Industry4.0 Standardization Workshop on SCADA/IACS Trustworthiness

Professor Hans-Joachim Hof unterstützt im Programm Kommitte den “2nd GI/ACM Industry4.0 Standardization Workshop on SCADA/IACS Trustworthiness” auf der 47. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., der Informatik 2017, Einreichugnen sind aktuell noch möglich.

Beschreibung des Workshops:

Whereas the 1st I4.0 Standardization Workshop has addressed security benchmarking aspects of Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), the 2nd I4.0 Standardization Workshop will address Industrial SCADA-Systems from the point of view of Trustworthiness, i.e. by 3 sessions of 3 domains of importance to standardization:

  1. Recent Technical Issues (Digitalization, 4th Industrial Revolution, Energy Efficiency etc.) of globally interconnected SCADA-Systems;
  2. Industrial Practices of Global Industrial Players and locally operating SMEs (‚Mittelstand‘);
  3. EU and national Regulations, Laws and Standards for SCADA Systems and IT/I4.0 Security.

The technical scope of the workshop is devoted to the Programme of Work (PoW) of the Technical Committee TC65 ‚Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation‘ Systems (IACS) of the ‚International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) and with the PoW of the Subcommittee SC27 ‚IT Security‘ of the Joint Technical Committee JTC1 of the ‚International Standardization Organization‘ and IEC (ISO/IEC) and its numerous liaisons the industrial specification groups (ISG) and other standardization organizations.

TC65 anticipates industrial processes that require secure, private and safe (i.e. trustworthy) control and automation (C&A) measures for continuous or batch-like behaviors, whereas the C&A measures function with pneumatics, hydraulics, mechanics and other physical technologies – SPS requires non-functional technologies based on informatics such as Confidentiality, Integrity and Authenticity (CIA) and more.
