Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…The goals of climate neutrality by 2050 and the reduction of CO2 emissions by 55% (compared to the 1990 level) by 2030 (European Commission, 2019, 2021) pose the European Union, and even more so the rest of the world, with several complex issues, including a significant increase in ‘clean’ energy production from alternative and renewable sources, the reduction of energy poverty, greater security of energy supply and a drastic decrease in dependence on energy imports; at the same time, the aim is to foster modern economic growth decoupled from the use of non-renewable resources, the creation of new jobs, and to generate environmental and health benefits, objectives with inevitable cultural, political, economic, production, technological and social implications to be addressed both within one’s borders and in foreign policy. …”

Hardcoded vulnerability detection approach for IoT device firmware by Chao MU, Xin WANG, Ming YANG, Heng ZHANG, Zhenya CHEN, Xiaoming WU

“…With the popularization of IoT devices, more and more valuable data is generated.Analyzing and mining big data based on IoT devices has become a hot topic in the academic and industrial circles in recent years.However, due to the lack of necessary detection and protection methods, many IoT devices have serious information security risks.In particular, device hard-coded information is closely related to system encryption and decryption, identity authentication and other functions, which can provide confidentiality protection for core data.Once this information is exploited by malicious attackers, serious consequences such as sensitive information leakage, backdoor attacks, and unauthorized logins will occur.In response to this problem, a multi-type character recognition and positioning scheme was designed and a hard-coded vulnerability detection method in executable files was proposed based on the study of the characteristics of hard-coded vulnerabilities in IoT devices.The proposed method extracted the firmware of IoT devices and filtered all executable files as the source to be analyzed.Then, a solution to identify and locate three types of hard-coded characters was provided.Further, the reachability of the function, where the hard-coded character was located, was analyzed according to the function call relationship.Meanwhile, the instruction heterogeneity was mitigated by an intermediate representation (IR) model.The character and parameter hard-coded values was obtained through a data flow analysis approach.A symbolic execution method was devised to determine the trigger conditions of the hard-coded vulnerabilities, and then the vulnerability detection result was output.On the one hand, the proposed method introduced the method of symbolic execution based on the use of the intermediate representation model, which eliminated the dependency of instruction architecture and reduces the false positive rate of vulnerabilities; On the other hand, this method can integrate characters, files, and cryptographic implementation to realize the different characteristics of three types of hard-coded characters, which increased the coverage of vulnerability detection and improves the versatility of the detection method.The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect three types of hard-coded vulnerabilities of characters, files and cryptographic implementation in various IoT devices, and has good detection accuracy, which can provide certain guidance for the deployment of subsequent security protection technologies.…”
