OWASP Tallinn - Modern Cryptography - Vol. 2

🌐 Welcome to the Summer Event of OWASP Estonia: Modern Cryptography - Vol. 2 🌐

🚀 In this event we'll host two very special speakers:

Stefano Alberico, tech lead mentor at NATO DIANA accelerator and founder at Skudo, is a technology visionary with 25 years of international experience.

He is very problem solving oriented and prefers to set up a demo with a Raspberry Pi rather than only explaining things on a PPT.

He is now focused on hardware encryption (HSM and PKI) for space and drone applications, based on Skudo's own FPGA implementation.

🎤 Speech: Practical use-cases of encrypted satellite communication

In my 30-minute presentation, Stefano will discuss two key use-cases of encrypted digital satellite communication that his company has worked on.

The first use-case involves a project with the European Space Agency (ESA) last year. We remotely reprogrammed the OPS-SAT's onboard FPGA with our custom cores, adding a Hardware Security Module (HSM) and a RISC-V processor. We then developed an application that captured a satellite image, processed it on the RISC-V, encrypted it on the HSM, and sent it to our ground office. There, we decrypted the image using the appropriate key and displayed it, ensuring secure data transmission.

The second use-case is an ongoing project to create an encrypted satellite communication link. This involves integrating our HSM/FPGA with an Iridium modem using the Short Burst Data (SBD) service. This setup enables us to send end-to-end hardware-encrypted messages worldwide, ensuring secure and reliable communication.

These examples demonstrate our work in enhancing secure satellite communications through advanced encryption and processing technologies.

Jelizaveta Vakarjuk is a junior researcher in Cybernetica and industrial PhD student at Tallinn University of Technology. Her research focuses on post-quantum cryptography, privacy-preserving cryptography, and security of voting systems. Mainly she studies post-quantum digital signatures, but also focuses on the aspects of migration to post-quantum cryptography.

🎤 Speech: Obstacles of migration to post-quantum cryptography

With the rising development of quantum technologies there is an urgent need to secure existing IT infrastructure against quantum threats. Introducing post-quantum cryptography to present systems could protect them against future quantum computer attacks. Still, post-quantum migration is a challenging process which requires systematic planning and years of execution. In this talk, I will share what are the main migration obstacles in example of Estonian e-services.
