[T37] Cryptocurrency Innovations: EcoMobiCoin for Green Behavior & LCoin for Local Economies – Pascal Lafourcade

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Fri, Aug 30th, 2024, 1pm CET, we welcome Pascal Lafourcade from Université Clermont Auvergne, France for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Cryptocurrency Innovations: EcoMobiCoin for Green Behavior & LCoin for Local Economies”. Share and join!

In this presentation, Pascal will revisit Bitcoin and blockchain principles, highlighting the limitations of Bitcoin and the energy-intensive proof-of-work mechanism. He will introduce the innovative concept of proof-of-behavior, which powers EcoMobiCoin, a cryptocurrency that rewards environmentally-friendly mobility. Additionally, Pascal will explore the development of local currencies aimed at promoting local exchange, introducing the notion of geographic demurrage.

You are cordially invited to join the free live stream on youtube and LinkedIn! Please share the link https://talk.cybercni.fr/36 with your interested friends!

Abstract

In this presentation, I will recall Bitcoin and blockchain principles. Then I will show the limitations of Bitcoin and proof-of-work. I will introduce the notion of proof-of-behavior to replace energy-intensive proof-of-work. This has enabled us to propose EcoMobiCoin, a crypto-currency that rewards environmentally-friendly mobility. Next, I will look at how to build a local currencies to promote local exchange. For this I will introduce the notion of geographic demurrage.

Pascal Lafourcade

Pascal Lafourcade obtained his Phd laboratory LSV at ENS Cachan on verification of cryptographic protocols in presence of algebraic properties. Then spent one year at the ETH Zurich in David Basin group, working on WSN. After he was during seven years Maitre de conference at Verimag developing automatic technic for verifying cryptographic primitives, security protocols. Now he holds an industrial chair at Clermont Ferrand at Laboratory LIMOS.

Pascal Lafourcade is an associate professor at the University d’Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand) France. He is a member of the Networks and Protocols Team of the LIMOS Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in 2006 from the ENS Cachan (Cachan, France). He has carried out broad research in security and verification of cryptographic protocols.

Talk.cybercni.fr

The Cyber CNI Lecture Series is a free monthly event that typically takes place on the last Friday of the month from 2pm to 3h30pm CET.

The Cyber CNI Speaker series aims to raise awareness and understanding of cyber security issues among all audiences. It aims to enable an ongoing dialogue between experts from industry and academia and the general public (citizens, families, small and large businesses, public organizations, etc.). All of us are concerned.

The events are broadcast live on Youtube (https://talk.cybercni.fr/) and LinkedIn, allowing worldwide remote participation – including a tool to participate in the discussion.

You can add the event calendar via ICS, webcal, HTML.

How the digital transformation is changing our lives

Our society relies more and more on information and operational technologies. Examples include water, energy, heat and cooling supply, communications, healthcare, production and processing of goods, transportation, national security, banking, research and education, and food production.

What all these areas have in common is that they make intensive use of networked distributed computer systems. These systems can be attacked in many ways. This is no longer just a problem for computer “pros” because computer systems are essential to all of us. The effects of “cyber-attacks” range from power outages to the collapse of the health care or banking sectors.

Abstract

Cybersecurity is gaining more and more attention over the last years. In this talk we will briefly motivate and discuss important steps that companies need to take to address this topic. Our talk will address the product security lifecycle based on the OWASP Software Assurance Maturity Level. Towards the end of our talk we will shift our focus to secure coding as an important milestone of software development. We will also briefly introduce CyberSecurity Challenges – a new serious game to raise awareness of secure coding for software developers in the industry. This game has been developed at Siemens in partnership with academia, and will be offered as an hands-on event.

Abstract

Securing distributed and collaborative business processes that involve Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) devices or services in a cross-organizational context is a challenging task. It becomes even more difficult when the involved parties do not trust each other completely. This keynote presents some real-world industrial use cases where there is a need to enforce cross-organizational business processes without a trusted third party and how state-of-the-art technologies and research addresses the problem.
