/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.

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.

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

The sophistication of cyberattacks has significantly increased, making it almost certain that organizations can be victims of cyberattacks at any time. Managing cybersecurity risk is critical for any organization so that informed decisions can be made to tackle risks before they materialize. However, performing effective risk management is always challenging due to the constant changes in organizational infrastructure and security posture, including the adoption of new applications and the reconfiguration or updating of existing assets and their dependencies, as well as the potential exploitation of vulnerabilities. Despite the wider adoption of AI enabled solution in  cybersecurity , but lack of focus on the analysing  dynamic parameters using AI models  and their integration into cybersecurity  risk management. Additionally, AI-enable cybersecurity solution needs to assure the Responsible AI practice for trustworthy AI system development and use 

This talk presents dynamic Cyber Security Risk Management (d-CSRM)) to tackle this challenge by integrating for assessing and managing the risk. It considers hybrid AI-enabled model that combines both linear regression and deep learning,  with responsible AI practice to assess the risk.

Abstract

Cyber-physical systems are often  safety-critical and require a rigorous  development process to reduce  the risk of hazards to an acceptable  level. Traditionally, this meant  isolated components with predictable  run-time behaviour, combined with  redundancy to achieve fault tolerance.  Today, we consider it normal to  have internet-connected cars,  management of critical infrastructure  running in the cloud, and  air-traffic control that operate remotely  with digital screens instead  of windows for the operators. At the same  time, the cyber threats have  grown drastically in frequency and  sophistication putting many of these  connected cyber-physical systems  at risk. Unfortunately, we have not  kept up with the development of  rigorous and verifiable development  methods to match the increased  connectivity and complexity of our  critical systems. In this talk I  will discuss opportunities and  challenges of using formal methods to  verify security properties in  cyber-physical systems. The focus will be  on networked cyber-physical  systems considering three different  abstraction levels, entity  coordination, cryptographic protocol design,  and implementation of  communication protocols. I will discuss how  high-level requirements can  be refined and translated to low-level  properties, show some examples of  what we can show, and where we are  still struggling to find suitable  abstractions and models.
