[T40] Software multi-tenancy on micro-controllers: enhancing security with TinyPART toolkit – Chrystel Gaber (Orange),  Gilles Grimaud (U Lille), Emmanuel Baccelli  (INRIA)

On Fri, Nov 29th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Chrystel Gaber (Orange),  Gilles Grimaud (U Lille), Emmanuel Baccelli  (INRIA), for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Software multi-tenancy on micro-controllers: enhancing security with TinyPART toolkit”. Share and join!

As containerization arrives for microcontrollers, it brings with it critical new security challenges. This talk will dive into how the TinyPART toolkit, developed through a joint French-German research project, addresses key concerns like memory isolation, secure software updates, and resource access control in multi-tenant environments. Discover how TinyPART’s innovations help overcome the risks of transitioning from monolithic to multi-tenant software paradigms on microcontrollers.

Abstract

As containerization becomes available for microcontrollers, it is necessary for security models to evolve and address threats arising  from the transition from a monolithic software paradigm to a  multi-tenant one. Among the challenges that need to be overcome, this talk will in particular focus on memory isolation, secure software updates and ressource access control by describing the results of TinyPART (https://tinypart.github.io/TinyPART/), a German-French research  project on cybersecurity jointly sponsored by the German Ministry of  Education and Research and the French National Research Agency. In this talk, you will discover how the TinyPART toolkit can help you overcome this challenge by addressing issues related to memory isolation, software updates and resource access control.

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.

[T38] Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm – Valeria Loscri

On Fri, Sep 27th, 2024, 2pm CET, we welcome Valeria Loscri from INRIA Lille, France for another edition of TALK.CYBERcni.fr on “Security Aspects in the Evolved IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum Paradigm”. Share and join!

As our connected world expands with advanced services and applications, the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum has emerged as a key paradigm, seamlessly integrating IoT devices, edge computing, and cloud services. But with this evolution comes new security challenges, exposing vulnerabilities across heterogeneous devices. Valeria will dive into the security landscape of this paradigm, highlighting how IoT-device vulnerabilities can escalate into powerful attacks on higher layers of the continuum.

Abstract

Living in our perpetually connected world presents us with an abundance of novel advanced services and automated applications. In order to meet the increasing demand of advanced services and applications, significant activity has been dedicated in the recent years to build the IoT-Edge-Cloud Continuum paradigm. 

This paradigm shift comes with a change in the security landscape, enabling new and more powerful attacks relying on vulnerabilities of heterogeneous devices, where not all the devices cannot be with same level of security. 

It is paramount to analyze this new security landscape and estimate the potential impact of attacks at IoT-devices on the upper layers.
