Hardware‐assisted remote attestation design for critical embedded systems by Munir Geden, Kasper Rasmussen

“…Remote attestation is becoming increasingly vital for embedded systems that serve in many critical domains, as part of health, military, transportation and industry services, but still lack the most security features available to high‐end systems. In most attestation techniques, the prover provides a cryptographic checksum of its static memory contents, that is, code segments, to the verifier when requested to demonstrate that the device is loaded with the right software. …”

Dagestan Youth in Saint Petersburg: Social Map of Resettlement by E. A. Shekera

“…Despite the well-established opinion of experts, that the local residence of migrants is undesirable and even dangerous, since the load on the social sphere is increasing, the district’s infrastructure is changing, acquiring features that are not characteristic of the majority living, the number of conflicts, etc., Nevertheless, this process is not controlled by the state in any way: newcomers rent apartments or buy housing in areas with the lowest prices, thus, the localization of migrants' residence is a natural process occurs by itself.…”
