Hello All.
Following today's meeting, we agreed to have a specific call on security
tasks and what specifics it should have within the project. This is
specifically for security testing and questions such as what methods to
use and what platforms can be usable.
IMHO the security partners (TCD/Stephen, LUX/Gabriele, and
Inria/Vincent) should attend the call along with use-case partners
(EMC/Aidan and Zaragoza/Victor) requested to join so as provide an idea
on what infrastructure is available and can be utilised.
For this, please fill in your available times using this poll by today
19:00 CEST (SEP-16). Then I'll select the commonly suitable time and
circulate it.

[FYI] in WP4, we have two tasks proposed for security. T4.5 dealing with
security of data and policies, and T4.6 dealing with 'white-box'
testing, pentesting, attack models, etc.

Dear all,
We are delighted to invite you to the next Sustainable Computing Lecture.
Title:
Smart Bulbs and Privacy: Lost in the Smart Jungle
Speaker:
Vincent Roca
French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria)
Collaborators: Mathieu Thiery, Michael Toth, Vincent Roca, Arnaud Legout (Inria)
When?
Friday, 1. October 2021; 12:00 CEST
Online event via Zoom:
https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94811049273?pwd=djhJMTJYOUR5REZJaHZ2RXQyVExndz09

Passcode: 561188
Abstract:
In the current Internet of Things (IoT) era, smart homes are getting increasingly equipped with connected devices, with privacy implications that largely remain unknown to the end-user. In this talk, we focus on three representative and popular smart bulbs, manufactured by Philips, IKEA and LIFX. We analyze the privacy implications of various techniques to control these bulbs—i.e., switching them ON and OFF—, using various smartphone applications, smart speakers and smart buttons. We show that these techniques determine the remote actors concerned (who are aware of what is going on) and the volume of data sent to the Internet (we measured major differences), and we observe that data often leave the user's house and country (even though the user is at home). Finally, by analyzing the Privacy Policies we highlight that, in most cases, the end-user cannot reasonably understand the situation. The whole situation is neither respectful of the user's privacy, nor legal (no user consent), nor sovereign (it creates dependencies on foreign actors). For these reasons, we call for different architectures that would favor local communications and data minimization, with the additional benefit of significantly reducing the ecological footprint.
Bio:
After a PhD from Grenoble INP in 1996, Vincent Roca joins the University Paris 6 as Associate Professor in 1997, and Inria as researcher in 2000. Specialised in networking, author of fourteen Internet standards (RFCs), since 2017 he is co-chair of an IETF research group, the organisation in charge of Internet standardisation. Member of PRIVATICS since 2012, he is now leading this Inria research team specialised in privacy and personal data protection. He focusses in particular on the privacy risks associated to the use of smartphones and Internet of Things devices. He is also co-author, with PRIVATICS colleagues, of the ROBERT and CLÉA protocols that are the foundations of the contact and presence tracing features of the French official TousAntiCovid app.

Hi all,
I put a first draft into the nextcloud folder. But it is not a
document like WP4 and WP5, but rather the WP description according
to the H2020 rules. But it is a start.

Hello All. Based on yesterday's extensive discussion on work-packages
and tasks, I've put forth what is my interpretation of how WP3 and WP4
tasks inter-relate and cover the topics.
For this, I've changed some tasks, and added others, primarily to make
it more 'appealing' to the call topic. Please go through this list, and
point out where things aren't clear, what should be changed, etc. Some
tasks have partners incorrectly assigned based on what was previously
there, please fix this by adding/removing yourselves from appropriate
cells. This is important to get the WP3 and WP4 descriptions in the
project, and to then write WP5 use-case descriptions.
document:
https://humans.ocloud.de/index.php/apps/onlyoffice/s/FBNQZN2Lr9F2cAo?fileId…
Specifically, @Gabriele @Vincent @Stephen - please check security
related tasks, whether the topic/focus makes sense as per your
experience and expertise, and suggest material for writing the proposal.
I have taken note of Vincent's (e.g. fingerprinting) and Stephen's (e.g.
networking) suggestions in tasks T3.1, T3.2, T3.4, T3.5, T4.5, and T4.6.
If there are specifics, please add them to WP4 document here:
https://humans.ocloud.de/index.php/apps/onlyoffice/s/FBNQZN2Lr9F2cAo?fileId…
(not updated with tasks, but use as shared document)
@Georg - please check T4.1, its mostly what we discussed on THU, except
with changes in terminology and relation to WP3.
Regards,
