Rethinking General-Purpose Decentralized Computing
While showing great promise, smart contracts are difficult to program correctly, as they need a deep understanding of cryptography and distributed algorithms, and offer limited functionality, as they have to be deterministic and cannot operate on secret data. In this talk, Ceyhun Alp presents Protean, a general-purpose decentralized computing platform that addresses these limitations.
MinFuzz: Program simplification to drive fuzzing effectiveness
In this talk, Nicolas Badoux presents MinFuzz, his approach to discover and remove prunable code blocks to improve fuzzing effectiveness. First, he will discuss which computations are “skippable”. His system targets particularly decompression, decryption, and checksum computations […]

From Cambridge Analytica to the future of online services: a personal journey
2018 was a crazy year for privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation came into force in May, and new revelations on the personal data ecosystem were making headlines on a weekly basis. I will give the behind the scenes for a lot of these events, question why they didn’t happen earlier, and offer some thoughts […]
MorphIT: Morphing Packet Reports for Internet Transparency
By Georgia Fragkouli Abstract Can we improve Internet transparency without worsening user anonymity? For a long time, researchers have been proposing transparency systems, where traffic reports produced at strategic network points help assess network behavior and verify service-level agreements or neutrality compliance. However, such reports necessarily reveal when certain traffic appeared at a certain network […]
