Our digital lives are governed by a wide range of IT protocols used to protect the exchange of data, such as the EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) standard for debit & credit card transactions or the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol, which protects internet connections. Jannik Dreier, an associate professor at Telecom Nancy and the University of Lorraine, and a member of PESTO, a joint Inria-LORIA team, has sought to identify vulnerabilities with these protocols. His ally in navigating these cryptographic labyrinths is a software program called Tamarin.
Information systems, connected objects, industrial systems… these environments face increasingly frequent and sophisticated computer attacks. Companies are prime targets for hackers and must protect themselves from this growing threat. The new Cybi startup is the fruit of the cybersecurity expertise of the RESIST team at the Loria laboratory (CNRS, Inria, Université de Lorraine). It provides offers solutions for analyzing computer attack paths and intelligently automating cybersecurity operations. Cybi has just been launched in Nancy by the Inria and the Université de Lorraine with support from the Lorrain Incubator and the Grand Est region.
The NL4XAI – Analysing Neural Natural Language Generation Models – ITN Project organises a 3 days Spring School to be held at Loria in Nancy between 19 and 21 April.
Congratulations to Claire Gardent (Synalp team) and Véronique Cortier (Pesto team), winners of the 2022 CNRS silver medal.
The hundred or so lines of code developed by Guillaume Moroz are likely to be of interest to a good number of engineers in robotics and control theory. A researcher from the GAMBLE project team, Moroz has designed an algorithm for optimising the numerical evaluation of polynomials, a “free and relatively straightforward to implement” solution which he will present in early February at the prestigious FOCS conference.
