Dear all,
we are glad to announce the fifth appointment with the course of
lectures entitled "COLISEUM - COntributed Lectures on Information
Security Using Maths"
http://ricerca.mat.uniroma3.it/users/security/index.html
The lectures, held by PhD Students and Professors, focus on real
problems of information security and privacy and on their interaction
with mathematics.
The course is scheduled on a fortnightly basis, with a talk taking
place every two weeks, on Tuesday, at 12.00pm in lecture room 311 of
the Maths Dept. of Roma Tre University

Date: Tuesday December 18 2012, 12:00pm
Duration: 45 minutes approx.
Venue: Dipartimento di Matematica di Roma Tre,
Largo San Leonardo Murialdo, 1,
Third Floor, Lecture Room n. 311

SPEAKER: Antonio Villani (Roma Tre University)
TITLE: The Thousands Faces of Information Leakage
ABSTRACT: Information leakage happens whenever a system
unintentionally reveals some information to unauthorized users. It can
occur in many unexpected ways. Side-channel attacks are a form of
information leakage that exploit the information coming from sources
such as execution time, power consumption or electromagnetic emission
to infer information about sensitive data. It has been showed that,
using these sources, an adversary is able to perform several attacks
such as obtaining the encryption keys or mapping the internal
infrastructure of a cloud service provider. This talk describes the
state-of-the-art and introduces several new contexts, sometimes
related to the adoption of new technologies, that could be prone to
information leakage.
SHORT BIO: Antonio Villani received his Laurea Magistrale (M.Sc.) from
the Dipartimento di Informatica of the University of Rome "La
Sapienza" in 2010. Since then, he gained a good experience in the area
of networking research during the collaboration within the ExTrABIRE
project (Exchanged Traffic Analysis for a Better Internet Resiliency
in Europe - CIPS 2009 II). Since 2012 he is a Ph.D student of the
Department of Maths at the University of Roma Tre. He owns
publications on international conferences about netflows anonymization
and network security. His research interests include system security
and applied cryptography.
