[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Request for SPARTA acknowledgment in accepted paper

by Letterio Galletta

Dear Dissemination Committee, we are about to publish a paper for which we would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project. Please, find the version that we plan to submit in attachment and a brief description of the content, the venue and the relation with the activities of WP6 below. Please let me know if you have any objections or comments. Best regards Letterio Galletta === Title: Provably Secure Isolation for Interruptible Enclaved Execution on Small Microprocessors Venue: 33rd IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium Relationship with SPARTA: The paper studies the problem of extending a microprocessor that supports enclaved execution with new features but without breaking its security guarantees. In particular, the paper proposes a design for interruptible enclaves, and proves that they do not open the way to new attacks. Finally, we implemented our design on Sancus, a platform for developing IoT systems and evaluated its cost in terms of performance and hardware size.

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] equest for SPARTA acknowledgment in paper

by Aušrius Juozapavičius

Dear All, we are planning on submitting a paper to the ECCWS conference (19th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security 25 - 26 June 2020, Chester, UK). We request to acknowledge SPARTA if the paper is accepted. Here is the title and abstract of the paper: Title: *Information Sharing in Cyber Defence Exercises* Abstract Availability and easy access to sophisticated cyber penetration testing tools enable ex- ploitation of vulnerabilities in different systems globally. Cyber attacks are executed by various actors – from script kiddies to state organisations. Repetitive nature and recognisable signatures of attacks raise demand for effective information sharing. Timely warnings about cyber incidents in other systems make it possible to identify related at- tacks locally. Early identification could save a substantial amount of money and time. International cyber community supports several commercial and open-source threat in- formation sharing platforms. Efficient use of these systems depends both on the quality of submitted information and the ability of the security specialist to receive, interpret, and integrate indicators of compromise into local defence systems. Business stakeholders tend to emphasise the importance of threat hunters, while the information-sharing aspect is overlooked. Therefore, there is a need for professionals who can assess risk levels of cyber incidents in a broad context and share concise information with team members, superiors, relevant institutions, and community. The complex nature of cyber attacks raised the popularity of live cyber defence exercises (CDX), where cybersecurity special- ists are trained using simulated real-life scenarios. However, the exercises are mostly oriented towards the development of technical competences. This paper addresses the problem of proper development of information sharing com- petence during the CDX. We performed a case study of two annual international CDX. Research data were collected using several techniques. First, the participants filled in pre- event and post-event questionnaires. Additionally, each defending team was continuously observed by a dedicated evaluation team member. Finally, incident reports in short and long forms were gathered. We distinguished challenges related to internal team collabora- tion, information sharing among the teams, and reporting to relevant authorities. Based on the findings, we present a methodology to integrate information sharing into the plan- ning and execution of CDX. The methodology encompasses activities, scoring strategies, scenario recommendations, tools, and communication-encouragement components. The presented enhancement creates an observable added value to the CDX training event. Keywords: Cyber defence exercises, incident information sharing, indicators of compromise, collaborative defence Sincerely, *Dr. Aušrius Juozapavičius* *Head of **Department of Defence Technologies* *The General Jonas **Ž**emaitis Military Academy of Lithuania* *Tel.: +370 5 210** 3555* *[image: cid:image005.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <http://www.lka.lt/>*[image: cid:image006.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <https://www.facebook.com/KaroAkademija/>*[image: cid:image007.png@01D1E813.C5E9EDC0]* <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwDc7dsEQFc4lIakZqbSiig>

[SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Request for SPARTA acknowledgment in accepted paper

by Gabriele Costa

Dear Dissemination Committee, we have about to publish four papers for which we would like to acknowledge the SPARTA project. Please, find the versions that we plan to submit in attachment and a brief description of the content, the venue and the relation with the activities of WP6 below. Please let us know if you have any objections or comments. Best regards Gabriele Costa === Title: Natural Projection as Partial Model Checking Venue: Journal of Automated Reasoning Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a theoretical result showing that partial model checking and natural projection are equivalent. Based on this result we developed an algorithm and a tool for the automatic synthesis of controllers and sub-modules. This technique is well integrated in WP6 and, in particular, in Task 6.3 as it may serve as for the generation of orchestrators directly from high level security policies. Title: WAF-A-MoLE: An adversarial tool for assessing ML-based WAFs Venue: SoftwareX Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a tool for automatically generating adversarial attacks able to bypass ML-based web application firewalls (WAFs). WAFs are often deployed in modern II as a line of protection against injection attacks. This work shows that using ML for this purpose is not secure in general. The activity is related to the identification and evaluation of the state-of-the-art technologies adopted in the IIs. Title: A Survey on Multi-Factor Authentication for Online Banking in the Wild Venue: Computers and Security Relationship with SPARTA: The paper presents a survey on the multi-factor authentication platforms used by a number of banks worldwide. Also, we carried out a systematic review of regulations and guidelines and we evaluated how the MFA solutions cope with them. This activity is strongly related to WP6 as we carried out an in depth evaluation of the service infrastructures used for implementing the authentication of customers in the bank sector. Title: Building Next Generation Cyber Ranges with CRACK Venue: Computers and Security Relationship with SPARTA: The paper introduces a virtual infrastructure implementing a cyber range. Its purpose is to run virtual infrastructures where security training exercises can be executed. The technology developed for this purpose is the same that will support the orchestration framework that CINI will provide in Task 6.3 ===
