Abstract: Cryptographic libraries have become an integral part of every digital device. Studies have shown that these systems are not only vulnerable due to bugs in cryptographic libraries, but also due to misuse of these libraries. In this paper, we focus on vulnerabilities introduced by the application developer. We performed a survey on the potential misuse of well-known libraries such as PKCS #11. We introduce a generic tool CRYScanner, which is designed to identify such misuses during and post development. It works on the similar philosophy of an intrusion detection system for an internal network. The tool provides verification functions needed to check the safety of code, such as detecting incorrect call flow and input parameters. We performed a feature-wise comparison with the existing state of the art solutions. Our tool aimed to add more features, keeping all the capabilities of both static and dynamic analysis. We also show the detection of potential vulnerabilities in the several sample codes found online.

Abstract: A wide untapped region exists between radio waves and light in the electromagnetic spectrum: terahertz (THz) waves. THz frequencies combine the penetration of radio waves and the large bandwidth of light, which makes them excellent candidates for next-generation information communication technology, 6G and beyond, such as ultra-broadband wireless communication, spectroscopic sensing, nondestructive imaging, and high-resolution ranging. However, THz frequencies are at the upper limit of the capabilities of conventional electronics, and the development of THz devices and systems is a challenging field of interdisciplinary research. In particular, it is difficult to generate a significant amount of power from THz sources. THz devices must, therefore, be as efficient as possible to conserve limited power. Resonant tunneling diodes are a major candidate for both THz transmitters and receivers because of their simple and low-power electronic devices. In addition, a low-loss platform for integrating THz devices is essential for various practical systems. However, the propagation loss of transmission lines based on conventional electronics is high in the THz region, mainly owing to the high ohmic loss in metals. Thus, an alternative, metal-free integrated platform based on THz silicon photonics or photonic crystals is necessary to manipulate THz waves.

The increase of IoT devices is producing a massive amount of data to be computed by data centers, pushing the network to the limit. The storage and speed bandwidth has become a bottleneck as there are too many objects sharing the same streams. This is leading to slow speeds, lagging and delays. How does the industry try to tackle this challenge? The answer is to deploy more intelligence at the Edge. To sustain the growth of IoT and continue to deliver stronger, better, faster applications, the industry requires new efficient technologies. FD-SOI is certainly the most attractive technology to keep up the speed of our innovations at the Edge. The talk will review the challenges of Edge computing and will show how FD-SOI has already started to power the revolution.
