ESORICS 2019 Conference: Researchers at the University of Luxembourg have discovered a flaw in the security standard used in biometric passports (e-passports) worldwide since 2004. This standard, ICAO 9303, allows e-passport readers at airports to scan the chip inside a passport and identify the holder.
Most passports today use the standard ICAO 9303, which is issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The standard is designed to ensure that the privacy and unlinkability of the passport holder is protected to the highest degree. Unlinkability ensures that an attacker could not distinguish if two elements are closely related.
Dr Ross Horne, Prof. Sjouke Mauw, PhD candidate Zach Smith and Master student Ihor Filimonov tested the standard. They discovered a flaw which allows specific non-authorised equipment to access passport data. “With the right device, you can scan passports in close vicinity and reidentify previously observed passport holders, keeping track of their movements”, Dr Horne explains. “Thus, passport holders are not protected against having their movements traced by an unauthorised observer.” Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=University+Luxembourg https://www.scoop.it/topic/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=ePassport

In June 2014 Bitcoin users were confronted with the unthinkable. A Bitcoin mining pool called Ghash.io had attained control over 51% of the network's total mining power. Bitcoin users, miners and developers responded with shock, panic and denial, but could do nothing about the fact that Ghash.io now had the ability to manipulate the network at will.
Researchers at the University of Luxembourg are now the first to propose a blockchain system that mitigates this risk, guaranteeing proper performance even when more than 51% of the system’s computing power is controlled by an attacker. Their system, RepuCoin, makes it thousands of times more expensive to attack than Bitcoin. It was developed at the University’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust, and has the potential to be applied in a number of global sectors including fintech, energy, food supply chains, health care and future 5G telecommunications networks.
At their heart, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which use blockchain technology, are distributed ledgers. Each block in a blockchain is a record of transactions, like a page in a ledger. When the page is full, we open a new page. In the case of a cryptocurrency we gain a new block in the blockchain. And they are distributed because the whole network sees and approves new blocks through democratic consensus. Users therefore don’t have to place their trust – and money – in the hands of a single central authority.

Avec les nouveaux modèles d’enseignement, tous les équilibres, tous les codes sont remis en cause. Au sens strict du terme, il n’y a plus d’enseignant, pas de cours, pas de programme, rien que des cas concrets à résoudre en trouvant soi-même la solution ou en s’associant à d’autres élèves. Cette pédagogie met l’accent sur le comportement, les capacités à travailler à plusieurs et à apprendre très vite en autonomie.
Pour Romain Martin, vice-recteur pour les affaires académiques de l’Université du Luxembourg, «la principale erreur consiste à se focaliser sur les technologies elles-mêmes. Il ne faut pas simplement regarder l’outil, mais comment ces outils sont utilisés.» Une désacralisation des technologies pourtant au cœur des enjeux, au profit d’une démarche pédagogique nouvelle. La tendance est ainsi à l’«adaptive learning». [Gust MEES] pratiquant ceci déjà depuis 2002 et enfin reconnu...

The University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), together with lux-Airport, has field-tested a hi-tech airport security system, paving the way for a future without random searches and lengthy queues.
A team of scientists, technicians and lux-Airport staff worked through the night to test the intelligent end-to-end system, which analyses a passenger’s onsite behaviour, travel history and booking profile to classify them according to their ‘trustworthiness’. It then funnels Passengers into different risk-based levels of security screening (Trusted, Normal and Enhanced Risk).
FLYSEC, an EU-funded consortium of 11 partners, including the University of Luxembourg and lux-Airport, spent three years developing the system, which they put through its paces in a final field-test at Luxembourg Airport. The team installed sophisticated sensors throughout the airport to track 100 actors – playing the role of passengers – as they made their way from landside to boarding, enacting different scenarios.
Within the system, airport staff benefit from a range of state-of-the-art technology. Smart kiosks verify travel documents and use Passenger Name Record data to identify unusual booking and travel profiles. Meanwhile, using movement pattern analysis, the system alerts staff to suspicious behaviour within the airport. A web platform brings all of this information together to provide holistic airport monitoring and scenario simulation, while mobile apps provide security staff with on-the-ground operational and incident support.

L’Université du Luxembourg, en collaboration avec la Fondation Zentrum fir politesch Bildung et le Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), a lanceé le portail smartwielen.lu en vue des élections nationales 2018.
Le portail smartwielen.lu permet aux utilisateurs de comparer leurs vues politiques avec celles des candidat(e)s et des partis politiques. Les utilisateurs sont invités à répondre à 43 questions couvrant des thématiques telles que l’économie et le travail, l’aménagement du territoire, l’environnement, les finances, la santé, l’éducation et les affaires étrangères.
Grâce à un algorithme adapté, ces réponses sont comparées aux réponses des candidats des partis politiques. Des représentations graphiques affichent ensuite les similarités et différences d’opinion entre les utilisateurs et les candidats. A ce jour, 62% des candidats aux élections ont répondu au questionnaire, et des nouveaux profils s’ajoutent régulièrement.
« Le questionnaire a été élaboré sur base des programmes des partis politiques, des débats et discussions dans les médias et des interviews avec des journalistes. Nous avons également demandé à différents groupes d’intérêts et institutions de la société civile de nous proposer des questions », expliquent Michèle Schilt et Jenny Gross, du Zentrum fir politesch Bildung.

Dans le cadre des élections législatives du 14 octobre prochain, l’Uni a développé un outil qui permet, à l’aide d’un questionnaire de 43 questions, de savoir à quels partis et candidats le profil politique des utilisateurs correspond le mieux.
Déjà en place lors des dernières élections législatives de 2009 et 2013, cet outil de «matching» entre électeurs, candidats et partis politiques est proposé par l’Uni pour l’échéance du 14 octobre.
Devenu Smartwielen.lu, ce site web permet aux utilisateurs, par le biais d’un questionnaire de 43 questions, de comparer leurs vues politiques à celles des candidats et des partis politiques des prochaines élections législatives.
La moitié des candidats a déjà répondu. «Il est alors intéressant d’observer si les candidats ont suivi la ligne de leur parti ou s’ils s’en distinguent», poursuit le chercheur de l’Uni. On peut notamment observer ci-dessous que les réponses des candidats du DP sont restées fidèles à leur programme électoral.

The smartphone – one of the most important resources for a refugee. It helps them stay in touch with family back home and it is also a way to stay abreast of current affairs or talk with other refugees. On another note, smartphones provide access to the Internet and, consequently, to information portals of local administrations. The problem for migrants, however, is that many of these official websites are simply unnavigable. The information is hidden behind puzzling menus, written in officialese, or provided in English and French but not in Arabic.
This prompted SnT scientist Prof. Dr. Charles Max to develop the smartphone platform youarewelcome.lu for refugees. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=Refugees https://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=University+Luxembourg

The European Commission has recently launched four Cybersecurity Competence Networks with the aim of accelerating cybersecurity research by drawing together Europe’s leading experts. Each network brings together some 40 partners from across Europe, with a total initial financing of around €65 million provided by the Horizon 2020 programme. The objective is to scale up existing research for the benefit of Digital Single Market cybersecurity and to arrive at a blueprint for the governance of ongoing large-scale collaboration in the field.
Participation in the networks was highly competitive, and the University of Luxembourg was selected for three of the networks. Through its Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), it will contribute experts working in resilient systems for the Internet of Things (IoT), biomedical data protection, automated detection and fixing of Android app vulnerabilities, big data, and blockchain based distributed systems.
Cross-sector expertise
Professor Paulo Esteves-Veríssimo, FNR PEARL Chair, is coordinating SnT’s involvement in the initiative, alongside colleagues Professor Yves Le Traon and Professor Radu State: “SnT is a good example of a research centre with expertise across cybersecurity, from cryptography and blockchain to IoT and software testing. But if we are to secure our critical industries — healthcare, energy, finance, transportation, and public administration — we need actors from across Europe pulling together and challenging one another to reach new heights,” he says.
Professor Esteves-Veríssimo’s own efforts focus on extreme threats to critical information infrastructures, such as power grid control and autonomous driving systems. “The systems we use today are complex, and that creates vulnerabilities,” he explains. “My team investigates innovative algorithms and mechanisms we can apply to make systems tolerate faults and intrusions in an automatic way; our critical information infrastructures need to endure and adapt, regardless of whether the problem is an accidental malfunction or a malicious attack. We call it resilience, and it needs to be built into our digital infrastructure.

Wenn die Masterarbeit ins All fliegt - Uni Luxemburg startet neues Projekt „LuxCube“
Was ist klein, wiegt etwas mehr als ein Kilo, fliegt bald durchs All und kommt von der Uni Luxemburg? Ein Mini-Satellit, den Ingenieurstudenten gemeinsam mit ihren Professoren und spezialisierten Firmen bauen werden. Das kann als Thema für die Bachelorarbeit geschehen, für den Master, im Rahmen eines Praktikums oder als freiwillige Arbeit: Studenten der Uni Luxemburg können nicht nur ihren eigenen Satelliten entwerfen und bauen, sondern auch die so gesammelten Daten verwerten. Der Satellit soll am Ende in 500 Kilometer Höhe fliegen und Bilder von Luxemburg liefern.
Auf dem Campus Kirchberg wurde gestern Nachmittag „LuxCube“, das erste studentische Projekt dieser Art in Luxemburg, vorgestellt. Das Projekt um einen sogenannten „CubeSat“ soll Studenten praktische Erfahrungen im Satellitenbau vermitteln. Sie sollen lernen, Hardware für das Weltall zu entwerfen, zu bauen, zu testen und zu betreiben. Einmal in der Umlaufbahn, soll der würfelförmige Mini-Satellit „LuxCube“ dann die Erdoberfläche, insbesondere Luxemburg, abbilden und Flugdaten auswerten. Möglich macht das die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Satellitenbauer Planet aus den USA und Gomspace. Das dänisch-schwedische Unternehmen Gomspace ist auf Nanosatelliten unter zehn Kilogramm Gewicht spezialisiert und nimmt an der luxemburgischen Initiative SpaceResources.lu teil.
