The second ASSURED webinar, entitled “ASSURED CyberSecurity and Insider Threats: Towards Practical Solutions for Efficient and Scalable Attestation Capabilities“, was held on Wednesday, May 31st, focusing on the description of one of the core technologies investigated in the context of the project, namely remote attestation. This is a central building block of the ASSURED framework towards achieving its core vision of trusted data exchange and secure data management.
Four presentations were given by members of the ASSURED consortium, discussing various technological outcomes and services provided by ASSURED regarding remote attestation. Specifically, design and implementation details were provided on the Machine Learning-based Control-Flow Attestation mechanism, which is able to achieve highly accurate and efficient detection of threats such as control and non-control attacks. In addition, the ASSURED Configuration Integrity Verification scheme was presented, including the innovations of ASSURED regarding the achievement of zero-knowledge attestation. The Direct Anonymous Attestation protocol was also presented, which is a major step forward towards achieving privacy-preserving platform authentication. In addition, a technical walkthrough and description of how to set up and use the tools provided by the ASSURED framework was performed.
The webinar was attended by more than 50 people from different academic and technical backgrounds, and was part of the dissemination activities of ASSURED on sharing the research outcomes and innovations of the project to industry professionals and cybersecurity experts, towards advancing the state-of-the-art in various research fields.
