Security Arena SeminarsDescription of Security Arena LindholmenSecurity Arena Lindholmen carries out research, methods and technology development applied to all phases of crisis management. Besides the research the work aims to conceptual development and pilot projects in collaboration between the industry, academia and end-users. This is a joint work between the Swedish Emergency Management Agency, Volvo, Saab, Ericsson, Chalmers and Lindholmen Science Park. One of the goals is to spread knowledge about societal security and we are pleased to invite you to a series of free seminars about the research taking place at Security Arena Lindholmen. In this page you can find information about past and upcoming seminar talks, the current calendar, and some iCal and RSS feeds. Please download a pdf describing Security Arena ( swe | en ) or look at a short clip ( swe | en ).

Title: Video surveillance for security and safety applications Speaker: Prof. Irene Gu, Signal Processing Group, Dept.of Signals and Systems, Chalmers Date: TBD Time duration: 20-30 minutes Summary In this seminar, we shall present our previous and ongoing work on tracking single as well as multiple deformable objects from videos. The objects can be captured from a moving or a static camera. Objects of interest may include, e.g. human faces, walking persons, vehicles or eye expression in faces. Such trackers can be used for different applications. For example, tracking persons of interests through crowds can be applied to security in airports, hospitals, schools or shopping centers.Another application is traffic monitoring and safety. One scenario is tracking the surrounding objects of a vehicle and still another is to monitor vehicles in front of a traffic light. Studies have also been made to tracking human faces with pose changes; Further analysis of tracked face has been made for sleepy detection through detection/recognition of eye expressions. Finally, we briefly present several stochastic video processing and analysis methods that have been used for these studies. Registration: To anmalan@lindholmen.se not later than 24th of January. Security Aspects of Wireless Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Environments Speaker: Dennis K. Nilsson, PhD student, Chalmers University Date: May 28, 2008, 11:30-12:30 In recent years, information technology has entered the automobile domain. Most of the functionality in a vehicle is controlled by electronics and software. There exist two main administrative functions: diagnostics and software update. Diagnostics is used to identify defective components and faulty software. The software update procedure is used to install new software in the vehicle. These administrative functions have to date been performed locally owing to the requirement of physical access to the vehicle. As this is considered inconvenient and inefficient, there is an emerging trend among automobile manufacturers to perform wireless diagnostics and software updates. This wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure environment, where the automobile manufacturer establishes a wireless connection to a vehicle, introduces a number of security threats. The vehicle domain has traditionally dealt mainly with safety concerns; however, the introduction of an intelligent attacker in this domain causes new problems and creates a need to consider security. The focus of the talk is on the security aspects of wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure environments. Security threats for a hierarchical wireless vehicle network are first identified, and a set of security recommendations are presented. Furthermore, allowing external wireless communication with the previously isolated in-vehicle network introduces new attack vectors to the vehicle. The criticality of these attacks shows the imminent need for security protection. Moreover, the security aspects of similar areas of research, such as authentication of wireless hand-held devices and key management in wireless process control systems, are investigated. Lessons learned from security issues in these areas could be taken into consideration when designing security for the wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure environment to avoid the same mistakes. Last, based on the lessons learned and the challenges identified, solutions for the wireless vehicle-to-infrastructure environment are suggested. Sensor Networks: An introduction with security focus Speaker: Andreas Larsson, doktorand vid Chalmers Date: Mar 12, 2008, 11:30-12:30 Sensornätverk: En introduktion med säkerhetsfokus A Wireless Sensor Network provides the means for monitoring, without the need for an advanced infrastructure, in areas that are hard or expensive to monitor in other ways. In areas like crisis management and for providing societal security, sensor networks can play a significant role, both preventive and operative. Security, fault tolerance and robustness are crucial to sensor networks. When monitoring areas like fires, disasters and other harsh environments, fault tolerance and robustness is critical. When monitoring areas like harbors, airports and sensitive events, security is critical. Malicious users can try to influence the operations of the sensor nodes. This seminar will give an overview of sensor networks and will focus towards these important properties. Serious Games - en översikt av hur kunskap från spel kan utnyttjas i andra sammanhang Speaker: Staffan Björk, Chalmers Date: Monday, Jan 28, 2008, 11.30 – 12.30 Under de senaste åren har både den tekniska utvecklingen inom datorspel och deras popularitet fångat intresset från simulatorutvecklare, PR-folk, pedagoger, och ansvariga för träningar och övningar. Under den gemensamma beteckningen Serious Games har man tagit vara på designkunskap från området och anpassat tekniska system för att utveckla nyttosystem som bibehåller egenskaper från spel såsom engagemang, samarbete över distans, samt tydliga och mätbara mål. I denna presentation kommer Staffan Björk ge en överblick på området, hur det har växt fram och vilka möjligheter som finns i framtiden. Flera exempel på applikationer kommer att ges samt en inblick i hur man kan tänka för att kunna dra nytta av speltänk i godtyckliga applikationer. For abstract in English: Abstract_seriousgaming.pdf Title: Guest lecture on network security Speaker: Vesa Virta, FRA Date: Fri Dec 7, 10: Location: HB1, Hörsalsvägen 8, Chalmers, Göteborg, Sweden (Road description: Visit Google Maps) Nya metoder behövs för att säkra nät /New Methods to Secure Networks Speaker: Tomas Olovsson, Chalmers/AppGate Datum: 2007-09-18 Talare: Ulf E. Larson, doktorand vid Chalmers Titel: Computer forensics och digitala undersökningar - en introduktion Sammanfattning: Computer forensics och digitala undersökningar är ett relativt nytt område som fokuserar på att hitta bevis rörande brott mot datorer och brott begångna med datorer. Computer forensics kompletterar mer traditionell forensicvetenskap, som fysisk och medicinsk, under brottsplatsundersökningar och fokuserar på elektroniskt innehåll, såsom epost-meddelanden och webläsarhistorik. Föredraget kommer att ge en introduktion till computer forensics och digitala undersökningar.
