Grenoble-INP Esisar is organizing in Valence, France the European edition of the Cybersecurity Awareness Week (https://csaw.io/intl-locations/csaw-europe) in collaboration with New York University (csaw.io).
This event is a student oriented cybersecurity competition from cyberphysical systems to IT systems.
Three competitions dedicated to students of all levels (bachelor, master and PhD) are organized: the applied research, the embedded security challenge and the capture the flag. While qualifications are held online, the finals will be held from 8 to 10 November 2018.
Finalists for the three competitions are granted (to cover hotel and travel cost) to come in France for on-site competitions.
Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place (respectively 700, 500 and 300 euros).
During the vent, a career fair with cyber security companies will be organized. Also keynotes will be given by security experts. Finally, a free social event will be held on Friday night.
You can find hereafter more details about the competitions:
- The Embedded Systems Challenge(ESC) 2018 competition considers the expansion of the threat landscape caused by IoT devices, and invites contestants to develop covert attacks that (mis)use IoT devices – smart bulbs in particular – to exfiltrate data through side-channels from air-gapped networks.
The ESC18 competition is divided into two phases:
- A preliminary qualification phase, where teams must compile and submit a written report characterizing possible side-channel attacks that (mis)use IoT devices, such as smart light bulbs, to stealthily exfiltrate secret information.
- A final phase, where qualified teams are invited to the CSAW event of their region to present a live demonstration of their implementations on smart light bulbs provided by the organizers.
The technical requirements and details of each phase are elaborated in:
