Dear all,
We submitted a paper to ETACS ’21 (ARES ’21) and it was accepted. We plan to acknowledge
the SPARTA project as this paper is in strong relationship with what was done in the WP9
recent work.
Kind regards,
Giorgio Bernardinetti

Title: Nautilus: A Tool For Automated Deployment And Sharing Of Cyber Range Scenarios
By: G. Bernardinetti, S. Iafrate and G. Bianchi
Abstract: In any cybersecurity training program, a non-marginal fraction of the activities
are usually devoted to "hands-on" practice, typically in the form of vulnerable
scenarios that the trainee must evaluate/penetrate. The manual setup and implementation of
such training scenarios is a significant burden on trainers, and takes away valuable time.
In order to automate this step and enable reuse of components or even entire scenarios,
this paper proposes Nautilus, a Cyber Range with extended capabilities that at the same
time provides a training environment and a "marketplace" platform to share
scenarios, pre-implemented vulnerabilities/CVEs, scripts, etc. Nautilus leverages advanced
cloud technologies to semi-automate deployment of vulnerable configurations of virtualized
networks and systems, provides a graphical interface and a scenario description language,
and integrates easy-to-use data/knowledge sharing facilities. In this respect, we believe
that Nautilus can foster collaboration among different training teams and programs, and
stimulate less skilled trainers, which alone would have perhaps prepared only basic
scenarios, to access and reuse more advanced exercises prepared by others. Finally, we
preliminary show the effectiveness and ease of use of the Nautilus Cyber Range via the
results of a (so far) small-scale usability test conducted among different perspective
trainers.

Dear All,
I add 2 more papers from SPARTA WP9 that will be presented at ARES ETACS:
Tomas Lieskovan and Jan Hajný: Building Open Source Cyber Range To Teach Cyber Security
This paper deals with the use of cyber range in education to teach cybersecurity.
Particular attention is paid exclusively to open-source solutions, as such solutions are
available to the general public, which is essential in raising awareness of cyber defense.
First,the available open-source cyber ranges are described, their advantages and
disadvantages. Subsequently, it presents our selected solution, the procedure of
implementation in the Brno University of Technology laboratory, our use in our study
programe and stress testing of selected cyber range. Last but not least, it provides a
unique guide to designing and building own open-source cyber range LAB from scratch.
Jan Hajny, Sara Ricci, Edmundas Piesarskas and Marek Sikora: Cybersecurity Curricula
Designer
The paper aims at minimizing the skills gaps and skills shortages on the cybersecurity job
market by empowering education and training institutions during the process of creation of
new cybersecurity study programs. We provide a complex cybersecurity skills framework
based on standardized definitions that helps with the identification of skills and
knowledge necessary for cybersecurity work positions. Furthermore, we practically
implement the framework in the form of an interactive web application for cybersecurity
curricula design. The app, called Curricula Designer, is built upon the framework and
allows intuitive design of higher-education curricula and their analysis with respect to
requirements of work roles already defined in widely-accepted standards. Using the
analytical functions, it is easy to identify missing content in the courses and precisely
structure the study program so that the graduates are well-prepared to enter the job
market. The Curricula Designer is described in details in this paper, including user
interface and technical background, and a link for public free access is provided to serve
all education and training institutions.
Kind regards,
Jan

Title: Privacy-Preserving Online Parking Based on Smart Contracts
By: Petr Dzurenda, Carles Angles, Sara Ricci, Lukas Malina
Abstract: This work presents a complex privacy-preserving solution based
on attribute-based credentials and smart contract techniques for
emerging parking services in city zones. Our system provides the full
set of privacy-enhancing features such as anonymity, untraceability, and
unlinkability of user parking registrations. Thanks to that it prevents
the city and service providers from profiling and tracking the users
(e.g., their movement). Furthermore, we involved smart contracts and the
underlying decentralized Blockchain technology in payment and
verification phases to prevent the presence of a single point of failure
in those processes which can endanger the system's security and
availability. We provide the full cryptographic specification of the
system, its security analysis, and the implementation results in this paper.
