09.45 –10.30: Invited Talk: Danilo Gligoroski: Swiss army knife in cryptography and information security - cryptographic hash functions.

Session chair: Svein Knapskog

Abstract: In the first part of the talk I will briefly present the importance of cryptographic hash functions. In cryptography and information security, hash functions are considered as the “Swiss army knife”. They are used in countless protocols and algorithms such as: building digital signatures, checking data integrity, commitment schemes or for password protection. They are also used as a basic security mechanism for local file systems or for decentralized file systems, for P2P file-sharing, decentralized revision control tools and for intrusion detection systems. They are also used in popular software package tools such as Microsoft CLR strong names, Python setuptools, Debian control files, Ubuntu system-integrity-check, and “Hashcash” – software for fighting spam. In the second part of the talk I will talk about the latest scientific developments in the area of cryptographic hash functions. Namely, in 2005 we have witnessed significant theoretical breakthrough in breaking the current cryptographic standard SHA-1. Although there is another family of standardized hash functions called SHA-2, ready to replace SHA-1 hash function, at the end of 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) decided to start a 4 year world-wide competition process for choosing the next cryptographic hash standard SHA-3.

14.15 – 15.00: Invited Talk: Arne Øslebø, UNINETT: Scalable network management and monitoring

Session Chair: Finn Arve Aagesen

Abstract: UNINETT develops and operates the Norwegian research and educationnetwork. The high speed network connects more than 200 Norwegianeducational and research institutions and their more than 300,000 users,and links them to international research networks. UNINETT uses traditional network management methods for monitoring the health of the network. In an advanced network this is however not enough so UNINETT also operates a large scale passive monitoring infrastructure to monitor the quality of the network traffic. In this presentation we will give a quick overview of the methods and tools used by UNINETT to manage and monitor the network. We then look at the challenges we are facing and identify several areas that need more research.

09.15 – 10.30. Invited Talk: Paul Kuhn: Modeling Power Saving Strategies in

ICT Systems

Session Chair: Ralf Lehnert

Abstract: I will first address general issues related to power saving in the area of ICT, in particular in Communication Systems, also including new developments in Network Virtualization and Cloud Computing, High Speed Core Networking and Mobile Communications. Then I will shortly address the upcoming problems of the Smart Power Grid which uses ICT substantially to coordinate the highly fluctuating power generation through renewable energies (such as wind and solar energy) and power consumption which leads to a highly complex distributed system facing problems of complexity, security and privacy. The largest part, however, will be along the main title: Considering systematically dynamic power saving strategies as a resource management problem, their modeling by queueing systems and networks, their analysis, and optimization, i.e., the trade-off between power savings and performance degradation. Specific models and solutions will be discussed how such strategies perform and which fractions of power savings can be expected by dynamic activations/deactivations of resources, sophisticated sleep modes and self organization.
