This page includes recordings of the main talks. In the near future, 12 we will also post interviews made with some of the poster presenters (sadly, 13 only about half of the people could be interviewed due to time constraints). 14 </p> 15 <h2>Welcome talk (Peter Brunner, Head of research at BFH-TI)</h2> 16 <p> 17 <video id="video" poster="/images/logo-2021.svg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls"> 18 <source src="/videos/2024_07_point_zero_forum_welcome_peter_brunner.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> 19 </video> 20 </p> 21 22 <h2>NGI TALER: Payments with Informational Self-Determination for the Next Generation Internet 23 (Christian Grothoff, Professor at the BFH-TI)</h2> 24 <p> 25 NGI TALER is a consortium dedicated to launching and promoting the GNU Taler 26 payment system in Europe. GNU Taler is a Free Software implementation of a 27 self-custody digital cash payment system with strict privacy protections for 28 payers and equally strict transparency and accountability for payees. The talk 29 gives a brief overview of the technology and the direction of the project. 30 </p> 31 <p> 32 <video id="video" poster="/images/logo-2021.svg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls"> 33 <source src="/videos/2024_07_point_zero_forum_christian_grothoff.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> 34 </video> 35 </p> 36 <p> 37 <a href="/presentations/pzf-2024.pdf">⭳Slides (PDF)⭳</a></li> 38 </p> 39 40 <h2>The Vital Role of Protected Confirmation (Benjamin Fehrensen, Professor at BFH-TI)</h2> 41 <p> 42 Hardware protected confirmation empowers user’s sole control over confirmation 43 actions in digital space - even on a compromised devices. It can be applied 44 to a wide range of security critical operations such as “authentication”, 45 “authentication with linking” (PSD2), “transaction confirmation” (e.g. EMV 46 “3DS confirmation”), “shareholder voting”, “medical device steering”, “access 47 un-locking”, “electronic signing” and many more. In addition, Protected 48 Confirmation is becoming critical for multi-purpose authentication mechanisms 49 such as the EUDI wallet and the Swiss EID planned for 2026. Hardware 50 protected confirmation was successfully piloted within the UBS e-banking in 51 2023. 52 </p> 53 <p> 54 <video id="video" poster="/images/logo-2021.svg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls"> 55 <source src="/videos/2024_07_point_zero_forum_benjamin_fehrensen.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> 56 </video> 57 </p> 58 <p> 59 <a href="/presentations/pzf-ben-2024.pdf">⭳Slides (PDF)⭳</a></li> 60 </p> 61 62 <h2>Demonstration: Limits of Hardware Key Protection (Andreas Habegger, Professor at BFH-TI and Kevin Schrag, Master Student at BFH-TI)</h2> 63 64 <p> 65 Advancements in hardware forensics and hacking pose significant challenges to 66 Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Techniques including side-channel attacks, 67 fault injection, and physical manipulation of electronic devices are 68 increasingly effective in extracting or inferring secrets safeguarded by 69 certified HSMs, albeit often resulting in device destruction. While these 70 methods historically demanded costly and specialized tools, they are gradually 71 becoming more accessible to a wider audience.
