HAIC Talk: 5th Generation Crime-fighting in Cyberspace: Lawful Intercept in 5G Networks – with Mats Näslund
Description: Our societies have been prospering, much due to huge technological advances over the last 100 years. Unfortunately, criminal activity has in many cases also been able to draw benefits from these advances. Communication technology, such as the Internet and mobile phones, are today “tools-of-the-trade” that are used to plan, execute, and even hide crimes such as fraud, espionage, terrorism, child abuse, to mention just a few. Almost all countries have regulated how law enforcement, in order to prevent or investigate…

Internet of Things (IoT) Security: from specification to code – HAIC Talk with Hannes Tschofenig
Lecture description: During the last 10 years security researchers and standards experts have been working on specifications to ensure that state-of-the-art cryptography can be used on low end IoT devices. Most of those standards efforts have either been completed or are in the final stages. At the same time, industry groups and governmental agencies have written IoT security guidelines offering valuable suggestions for developers to design more secure IoT products. Even IoT security regulation exists asking for state-of-the-art crypto, the…

HAIC talk: Current State of Applied Cryptography – Attacks, Standardization, Government Requirements, and Best Practices – with John Mattsson
Speaker: John Mattsson, Ericsson Research, Sweden Lecture description: Applied cryptography has been a very active area in the last 10 years since the Snowden revelations. From being used selectively, cryptography is now used everywhere for both security and privacy. To prevent pervasive monitoring, mandatory to use encryption, identity protection, and perfect forward secrecy are now seen as requirements. The increased use of crypto has put new requirements on performance, and old standards with questionable security have been replaced with new…

HAIC Talk: Time and Place in Digital Forensic Science – with Matthew Sorell
Lecture description: Everywhere you go, you leave your digital traces behind. Mobile and wearable devices, video, social media and pervasive sensors everywhere capture every breath you take, and every move you make. Or so you think. In reality it’s rarely that simple. Since 2022, my team at Digital Forensic Sciences Australia has been developing a new form of map visualisation when handling sparse time-location data. Instead of showing how a suspect can get from one place to another, we show…
