The Internet of Broken Things

Politecnico di Milano - aula Osvaldo De Donato
September 7th 2016

The Internet of Things is upon us: by 2020, estimates say over 50
billion devices will be connected to some form of local or global
network. Unfortunately, it seems that the Things we want to network are
broken and insecure. What are the challenges across different domains
(automotive, avionics, industrial controls)? What are the potential
solutions, from a regulatory and technical standpoint?

Eric Evenchick, “Automotive Security: Challenges and Perspectives”

Abstract:
In recent years, cars have become more computerized, connected, and more
vulnerable to attack. Cars are also integrating more autonomous
features, increasing the damage potential of attacks. Recently, we have
seen a range of attacks on automotive systems presented by researchers.

In this seminar, we will provide an introduction to automotive control
systems and vehicle networks. Using this knowledge, we'll take a look
into the history of automotive security, and some notable attacks that
have been demonstrated. After looking at the past, we'll cover the
challenges of the industry today and looking into the future. We will
use this knowledge to discuss at the current and future risk posed to
vehicle owners and OEMs.

Attendees can expect to receive a crash course in automotive systems,
which will help their understanding of automotive security topics. The
attack examples serve as case studies, which detail the mistakes made
and how they can be
prevented.

Bio:
Eric Evenchick is the founder of Linklayer Labs, a company focused on
embedded systems and automotive security. Linklayer aims to help
companies understand the risks present in embedded devices, identify
countermeasures, and implement security functionality.
Eric has worked on automotive firmware at Tesla Motors and Faraday
Future, where he was primarily responsible for over-the-air firmware
update capabilities and security design. His experience in automotive
began with research in alternative fuel vehicles at the University of
Waterloo, in conjunction with the US Environmental Protection Agency and
General Motors. Here, Eric led the team performing electrical and
control systems integration of fuel cell and hybrid vehicle prototypes.
The CANtact device, an open-source hardware tool for CAN networks, was
released by Eric at Blackhat Asia 2015. In 2015, Eric also developed
BLEKey, a hardware tool for bypassing the most popular electronic access
control systems. BLEKey was presented at Blackhat USA and Europe.

Andrea Barisani, “Real-life experiences in avionics security assessment”

Abstract:
The session aims to provide insights on real-life experiences gathered
from the security assessment of modern avionics systems. Particular
focus is placed on explaining how the interaction between safety and
security is assessed and how responsible teams can interact and to
combine their diverse set of skills.An example technical overview of the
classes of systems, interfaces and audit methodologies is given to
precisely demonstrate how work in this area is laid out and executed,
and to emphasize its importance in the transportation industry. Finally
the unique culture of safety in modern aviation is compared to
similar safety-critical areas, such as the automotive field, to
highlight the differences and similarities.

Bio:
Andrea Barisani is an internationally recognized security researcher and
founder of Inverse Path information security consultancy firm. Since
owning his first Commodore-64 he has never stopped studying new
technologies, developing unconventional attack vectors and exploring
what makes things tick… and break.

His experiences focus on large-scale infrastructure administration and
defense, forensic analysis, penetration testing and code auditing with
particular focus on safety critical environments, with more than 14
years of professional experience in security consulting.

Being an active member of the international Open Source and security
community he contributed to several projects, books and open standards.
He is the founder of the oCERT effort, the Open Source Computer Security
Incident Response Team.

He is a well known international speaker, having presented at BlackHat,
CanSecWest, Chaos Communication Congress, DEFCON, Hack In The Box, among
many other conferences, speaking about innovative research on automotive
hacking, side-channel attacks, payment systems, embedded systems
security and many other topics.

Stefano Zanero, “Security in Industry 4.0: Control Systems and Robots”

Abstract:
This talk will explore the significant challenges in securing computer
systems that are interconnected to (and control) physical industrial
systems. We will explore how the interactions between the digital and
the physical world creates unique challenges. We will explore how the
physical control of processes generates further attack strategies,
potentially violating safety constraints and endangering personnel and
the environment.

Bio:
Stefano Zanero received a PhD in Computer Engineering from Politecnico
di Milano, where he is currently an associate professor with the
Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria. His research
focuses on malware analysis, security of cyber-physical systems, and
systems security. Besides teaching “Computer Security” and “Computer
Forensics” at Politecnico, he has an extensive speaking and training
experience in Italy and abroad. He co-authored over 60 scientific papers
and books. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society
(for which he is a member of the Board of Governors), and a lifetime

security consulting firm based in Milan and in London; co-founder of
18Months, a cloud-based ticketing solutions provider; co-founder of
BankSealer, a FinTech startup focused on banking fraud detection.

Gianluca Varisco, “The bad, the ugly and the weird about IoT”

Abstract: The Internet of Things isn’t coming, it is already here. IoT
is at the peak of the hype cycle - what they call the 'Peak of Inflated
Expectations’. Every IT organization wants to ride the IoT wave. As with
all new technologies, the battle over standards is always a struggle.
The unresolved problem of software updates and short vendor support
cycle combined with the lack of effort into systems security and
application security makes these devices an easy target. Internet
accessible embedded systems are being compromised via vulnerabilities
(like Shellshock) or because of their weak default configuration. As
more things from the IoT start trickling into people’s homes, this talk
will try to shine a light into this bizarre and scary future with a
steady stream of funny and smart (as in clever, not internet-connected)
jokes. Think about misconfigured cameras, televisions, home routers,
baby monitors, toys and spammy refrigerators!
Bio: Gianluca Varisco is the VP of Security at Rocket Internet SE,
responsible for overseeing the security architecture and compliance of
the company's massive, globally distributed network. All aspects of
corporate security, including information protection, ID management,
network security, threat analysis, emergency response, security policy,
and IT audit/compliance programs fall under his purview. Gianluca has
over 8 years of experience in developing and managing information
systems. Prior to Rocket Internet, he held engineering roles at Red Hat,
Lastminute.com Group, PrivateWave.




Giuseppe Vaciago and Francesca Bosco, “Legal Framework and Policy
Perspectives”

Abstract:
Increasingly, the types of devices connected to the internet are
proliferating at a rapid pace.The development of the IoT opens up a
multitude of doors for efficient, streamlined device management and
operation, paving the way for major advances in technology. This advance
brings with it a labyrinth of privacy and security issues that our laws
have currently challenges to address.
This session intends to explore the impact of the new NIS Directive on
the IoT world and to discuss possible policies on safety and security of
the IoT, analyzing some concrete examples in the Italian context.
