However, the corresponding benefits come with unforeseen risks as sensitive information is potentially exposed, questioning their reliability. Consequently, data security is of utmost importance and, thus, a central requirement for successfully realizing data ecosystems. Academia has recognized this requirement, and current initiatives foster sovereign participation via a federated infrastructure where participants retain local control over what data they offer to whom. However, recent proposals place significant trust in remote infrastructure by implementing organizational security measures such as certification processes before the admission of a participant. At the same time, the data sensitivity incentivizes participants to bypass the organizational security measures to maximize their benefit. This issue significantly weakens security, sovereignty, and trust guarantees and highlights that organizational security measures are insufficient in this context. In this paper, we argue that data ecosystems must be extended with technical means to (re)establish dependable guarantees. We underpin this need with three representative use cases for data ecosystems, which cover personal, economic, and governmental data, and systematically map the lack of dependable guarantees in related work. To this end, we identify three enablers of dependable guarantees, namely trusted remote policy enforcement, verifiable data tracking, and integration of resource-constrained participants. These enablers are critical for securely implementing data ecosystems in data-sensitive contexts.

In practice, however, supply chains face severe technical challenges, especially regarding security and privacy. In this work, we consolidate studies from supply chain management, information systems, and computer science from 2010--2021 in an interdisciplinary meta-survey to make this topic holistically accessible to interdisciplinary research. In particular, we identify a significant potential for computer scientists to remedy technical challenges and improve the robustness of information flows. We subsequently present a concise information flow-focused taxonomy for supply chains before discussing future research directions to provide possible entry points. information flows; data communication; supply chain management; data security; data sharing; systematic literature review internet-of-production https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2024/2024-pennekamp-supply-chain-survey.pdf ACM 0360-0300 10.1145/3606693 1 JanPennekamp RomanMatzutt ChristopherKlinkmüller LennartBader MartinSerror EricWagner SidraMalik MariaSpiß JessicaRahn TanGürpinar EduardVlad Sander J.

While various dataset generation methods have been proposed, they are often limited and either only generate network traffic or are restricted to a narrow subset of applications. We present Vulcan, a preliminary framework that uses accessibility features to generate datasets by simulating user interactions for an extendable set of applications. It uses behavior profiles that define realistic user behavior and facilitate dataset updates upon changes in software versions, thus reducing the effort required to keep a dataset relevant. Preliminary results show that using accessibility features presents a promising approach to improving the quality of datasets in the HIDS domain.

However, the handling of sensitive information, in terms of (i) internal company data and (ii) the underlying algorithm to compute the benchmark, demands strict (technical) confidentiality guarantees—an aspect that existing approaches fail to address adequately. Still, advances in private computing provide us with building blocks to reliably secure even complex computations and their inputs, as present in industry benchmarks. In this paper, we thus compare two promising and fundamentally different concepts (hardware- and software-based) to realize privacy-preserving benchmarks. Thereby, we provide detailed insights into the concept-specific benefits. Our evaluation of two real-world use cases from different industries underlines that realizing and deploying secure information systems for industry benchmarking is possible with today's building blocks from private computing.

Consequently, it requires a technical infrastructure that can support the agile deployment of these concepts and corresponding high-level applications, which, e.g., demand the processing of massive data in motion and at rest. As such, key research aspects are the support for low-latency control loops, concepts on scalable data stream processing, deployable information security, and semantically rich and efficient long-term storage. In particular, such an infrastructure cannot continue to be limited to machines and sensors, but additionally needs to encompass networked environments: production cells, edge computing, and location-independent cloud infrastructures. Finally, in light of the envisioned WWL, i.e., the interconnection of production sites, the technical infrastructure must be advanced to support secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. To evolve today’s production sites and lay the infrastructural foundation for the IoP, we identify five broad streams of research: (1) adapting data and stream processing to heterogeneous data from distributed sources, (2) ensuring data interoperability between systems and production sites, (3) exchanging and sharing data with different stakeholders, (4) network security approaches addressing the risks of increasing interconnectivity, and (5) security architectures to enable secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. With our research, we evolve the underlying infrastructure from isolated, sparsely networked production sites toward an architecture that supports high-level applications and sophisticated digital shadows while facilitating the transition toward a WWL.

However, despite their popularity and importance as underlying infrastructure for more complex cloud services, today’s cloud storage systems do not account for compliance with regulatory, organizational, or contractual data handling requirements by design. Since legislation increasingly responds to rising data protection and privacy concerns, complying with data handling requirements becomes a crucial property for cloud storage systems. We present Prada , a practical approach to account for compliance with data handling requirements in key-value based cloud storage systems. To achieve this goal, Prada introduces a transparent data handling layer, which empowers clients to request specific data handling requirements and enables operators of cloud storage systems to comply with them. We implement Prada on top of the distributed database Cassandra and show in our evaluation that complying with data handling requirements in cloud storage systems is practical in real-world cloud deployments as used for microblogging, data sharing in the Internet of Things, and distributed email storage. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-henze-tii-prada.pdf Online en 2168-7161 10.1109/TCC.2020.3000336 1 MartinHenze RomanMatzutt JensHiller ErikMühmer Jan HenrikZiegeldorf Johannesvan der Giet KlausWehrle proceedings 2022-wolsing-radarsec 2022 9 rfc https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-radar.pdf IEEE Edmonton, Canada 47th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) September 26-29, 2022 10.1109/LCN53696.2022.9843801 1 KonradWolsing AntoineSaillard JanBauer EricWagner Christianvan Sloun Ina BereniceFink MariSchmidt KlausWehrle MartinHenze inproceedings 2022-wolsing-simple 2022 9 978-3-031-17143-7 574--594 Cyberattacks against industrial control systems pose a serious risk to the safety of humans and the environment. Industrial intrusion detection systems oppose this threat by continuously monitoring industrial processes and alerting any deviations from learned normal behavior. To this end, various streams of research rely on advanced and complex approaches, i.e., artificial neural networks, thus achieving allegedly high detection rates. However, as we show in an analysis of 70 approaches from related work, their inherent complexity comes with undesired properties. For example, they exhibit incomprehensible alarms and models only specialized personnel can understand, thus limiting their broad applicability in a heterogeneous industrial domain. Consequentially, we ask whether industrial intrusion detection indeed has to be complex or can be SIMPLE instead, i.e., Sufficient to detect most attacks, Independent of hyperparameters to dial-in, Meaningful in model and alerts, Portable to other industrial domains, Local to a part of the physical process, and computationally Efficient. To answer this question, we propose our design of four SIMPLE industrial intrusion detection systems, such as simple tests for the minima and maxima of process values or the rate at which process values change. Our evaluation of these SIMPLE approaches on four state-of-the-art industrial security datasets reveals that SIMPLE approaches can perform on par with existing complex approaches from related work while simultaneously being comprehensible and easily portable to other scenarios. Thus, it is indeed justified to raise the question of whether industrial intrusion detection needs to be inherently complex. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2022/2022-wolsing-simple.pdf Atluri, Vijayalakshmi and Di Pietro, Roberto and Jensen, Christian D. and Meng, Weizhi Springer Nature Switzerland Proceedings of the 27th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS '22), September 26-30, 2022, Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark 27th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS) September 26-30, 2022 10.1007/978-3-031-17143-7_28 1 KonradWolsing LeaThiemt Christianvan Sloun EricWagner KlausWehrle MartinHenze article 2022_brauner_iop ACM Transactions on Internet of Things 2022 5 1 3 2 The Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) promises significant improvements for the manufacturing industry by facilitating the integration of manufacturing systems by Digital Twins. However, ecological and economic demands also require a cross-domain linkage of multiple scientific perspectives from material sciences, engineering, operations, business, and ergonomics, as optimization opportunities can be derived from any of these perspectives. To extend the IIoT to a true Internet of Production, two concepts are required: first, a complex, interrelated network of Digital Shadows which combine domain-specific models with data-driven AI methods; and second, the integration of a large number of research labs, engineering, and production sites as a World Wide Lab which offers controlled exchange of selected, innovation-relevant data even across company boundaries. In this article, we define the underlying Computer Science challenges implied by these novel concepts in four layers: Smart human interfaces provide access to information that has been generated by model-integrated AI. Given the large variety of manufacturing data, new data modeling techniques should enable efficient management of Digital Shadows, which is supported by an interconnected infrastructure. Based on a detailed analysis of these challenges, we derive a systematized research roadmap to make the vision of the Internet of Production a reality.

In this paper, we present a blueprint for such a testbed that relies on network emulation and power flow computation to couple real network applications with a simulated power grid. We discuss the benefits of our approach alongside preliminary results and various use cases for cybersecurity research and training for power distribution grids. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2020/2020-henze-ccs-cybersecurity.pdf ACM

For this reason, offering frameworks, which are capable of addressing multiple layers of applications on the one hand and providing means of data security and privacy for ubiquitous dataflows on the other hand, is an important step to enable the envisioned advances. In this context, welding production has been introduced from the perspective of interlaced process layers connecting information sources across various entities. Each layer has its own distinct challenges from both a process view and a data perspective. Besides, investigating each layer promises to reveal insight into (currently unknown) process interconnections. This approach has been substantiated by methods for data security and privacy to draw a line between secure handling of data and the need of trustworthy dealing with sensitive data among different parties and therefore partners. In conclusion, the welding production has to develop itself from an accumulation of local and isolated data sources towards a secure industrial collaboration in an Internet of Production.

Enabling a fine-grained sharing and analysis of data among different stakeholders in an automated manner, such a vision of an Internet of Production (IoP) introduces demanding challenges to the communication, storage, and computation infrastructure in production environments. In this work, we present three example cases that would benefit from an IoP (a fine blanking line, a high pressure die casting process, and a connected job shop) and derive requirements that cannot be met by today’s infrastructure. In particular, we identify three orthogonal research objectives: (i) real-time control of tightly integrated production processes to offer seamless low-latency analysis and execution, (ii) storing and processing heterogeneous production data to support scalable data stream processing and storage, and (iii) secure privacy-aware collaboration in production to provide a basis for secure industrial collaboration. Based on a discussion of state-of-the-art approaches for these three objectives, we create a blueprint for an infrastructure acting as an enabler for an IoP.

However, protocols with full smart contract-based security are either limited in functionality or complex, with high costs for secured interactions. This observation leads to the development of protocol-specific schemes to avoid costly dispute resolution in case all participants remain honest. In this paper, we introduce SmartJudge, an extensible generalization of this trend for smart contract-based two-party protocols. SmartJudge relies on a protocol-independent mediator smart contract that moderates two-party interactions and only consults protocol-specific verifier smart contracts in case of a dispute. This way, SmartJudge avoids verification costs in absence of disputes and sustains interaction confidentiality among honest parties. We implement verifier smart contracts for cross-blockchain trades and exchanging digital goods and show that SmartJudge can reduce costs by 46-50% and 22% over current state of the art, respectively.

An application scenario is a Smart City in which the city infrastructure, cars, and people exchange information to enable new services. IP protocols, such as IPv6, TCP and HTTP will be further complemented by IPv6 over Low powerWireless Personal Area Networks and Constrained Application Protocol currently in development in IETF. Security and privacy are a must for the IP-based IoTs in order to ensure its acceptance. However, mobility, limited bandwidth, and resource-constrained devices pose new challenges and require for a sound and efficient security architecture. In particular, dynamic association of mobile smart objects and the management of keys in large-scale networks remain an open challenge. In this context, we propose a flexible security architecture based on the Host Identity Protocol and Multimedia Internet KEYing protocols allowing for secure network association and key management. HIP - based on asymmetric-key cryptography - ensures unambiguous thing identification, mobility support, as well as a lightweight and secure method for network association. In our solution, HIP is extended with MIKEY capabilities to provide enhanced key management using polynomials, which allow to generate pairwise keys with any node based on its identity. This combination of protocols and crypto-algorithms ensures both strong security and very good performance as shown by our implementation and presents clear advantages compared with other alternatives.

This identifier-locator split introduces anew identifier between human readable domain names and routable IPaddresses. Mapping between identifiers and locators requires additionalname mapping mechanisms because their relation is not trivial. Despite itspopularity and efficiency, the DNS system is not a perfect choice forperforming this mapping because identifiers are not hierarchicallystructured and mappings are frequently updated by users. In this paper wediscuss the features needed to resolve flat identifiers to locators in asecure manner. In particular, we focus on the features and the performancethat identifier-locator split protocols require from a mapping system. Tothis end, we consider a mapping system for an identifier-locator splitbased mobility solution and evaluate its performance.

Especially in office environments many devices (e.g., printers) are very rarely turned off, because they need to be available from time to time and because it is inconvenient having to switch them on and off manually. Existing solutions, such as Wake-on-LAN (WoL), provide support for managing the power consumption of the network devices remotely using an always-on data channel. However, these solutions are inefficient, because power to the network interface has to be maintained even when the host system is asleep just to ensure remote accessibility. We propose a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based out-of-band signaling architecture for network interfaces which minimizes the systems’ power consumption during the large idle periods when nobody is using them. This is done by separating the data and control channels on the Internet-enabled devices using a low-power out-of-band signaling channel based on battery driven, energy scavenging devices. Unlike existing solutions, which only allow parts of the system to go in sleep modes, our architecture allows the whole system, including the main power supply, to be shut down. Our initial investigation indicates a significant reduction in energy consumption of devices during idle times compared to the existing in-band signaling mechanisms such as WoL.

While such means are essential to overcome distances, using infrastructure services for location-based services may not be desirable. In this paper, we analyze a fully distributed variant of an ephemeral content sharing service, solely dependent on the mobile devices in the vicinity using principles of opportunistic networking. The net result is a best effort service for floating content in which: 1) information dissemination is geographically limited; 2) the lifetime and spreading of information depends on interested nodes being available; 3) content can only be created and distributed locally; and 4) content can only be added, but not explicitly deleted. First we present our system design and summarize its analytical modeling. Then we perform extensive evaluation for a map-based mobility model in downtown Helsinki to assess the operational range for floating content, which, at the same time also validate the analytical results obtained for a more abstract model of the system. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2011/2011-percom-vaegs-floatingcontent.pdf Online IEEE

However, due to unreliable connectivity and rapidly changing link qualities in wireless networks, establishing uniform addressing and stable point-to-point routing is challenging. In this paper, we present Statistical Vector Routing (SVR), a virtual coordinates based addressing and routing mechanism that efficiently deals with dynamic communication links in wireless networks. It assigns stable probabilistic addresses to nodes without the need to pessimistically estimate links over longer periods of time. The routing metric predicts the current location of a node in its address distribution. Our prototype implementation over real testbeds indicates that SVR, when compared to current approaches, achieves 3 times more stable addressing, reduces the magnitude of change in addresses by 2-10 times, and minimizes the hop distance and transmissions in the network by 10-15%. wld https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-vaegs-wehrle-probabilistic_addressing.pdf Print Hamburg University of Technology

The goals of these networks are to bridge the digital divide, stimulate innovation, support economic growth, and increase city operations efficiency. While establishing such urban networks is financially challenging for municipalities, Wi-Fi-sharing communities accomplish good coverage and ubiquitous Internet access by capitalizing on the dense deployment of private access points in urban residential areas. By combining Wi-Fi communities and municipal Wi-Fi, a collaborative municipal Wi-Fi system promises cheap and ubiquitous access to mobile city services. However, the differences in intent, philosophy, and technical realization between community and municipal Wi-Fi networks prevent a straight-forward combination of both approaches. In this paper, we highlight the conceptual and technical challenges that need to be solved to create collaborative municipal Wi-Fi networks. mobile_access http://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-heer-percomws-collaborative-municipal-wi-fi.pdf Print IEEE Press

The novelty of the proposed method is the incorporation of both, speech bits as well as protocol header bits, into the ISCD process. The header bits take the role of pilot bits having perfect reliability. These bits are distributed over the frame as strong supporting points for the MAP decoder which results in a significant enhancement of the output speech quality compared to the benchmark scheme using ISCD for speech only. For this approach, we exploit new cross-layer concepts that support the direct communication between non-adjacent layers. These concepts enable the iterative exchange of extrinsic information between the source decoder located on the application layer and the channel decoder located on the physical layer. This technique can also be applied to audio and video transmission. refector fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-01-scc-breddermann-iscd.pdf CD-ROM / DVD-ROM Rudolf Mathar, Christoph Ruland VDE Verlag

This document specifies an extension for HIP that enables HIP end-hosts and HIP-aware middleboxes to announce services to HIP hosts during a HIP Base EXchange (BEX) or HIP update. Service providers are able to specify the type and requirements of a service; clients can then decide to agree on the terms of service. This allows the service provider to verify the accordance of the client with the service conditions while the client is able to verify the authenticity of the used service.

Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, are used more and more for file-sharing and content distribution applications. However, a major weakness of traditional DHTs is the search for stored content, as data is assigned to nodes based on hash functions, and the very nature of hash tables allows only exact pattern matches. We present Cerco, a solution for the problem of range queries by using the principles of order-preserving DHTs and a hierarchically structured P2P approach. To guarantee an efficient routing and load balancing, Cerco uses a dynamic hierarchy of DHTs by creating subrings on demand and two explicit load balancing strategies. Our evaluation shows that Cerco is able to achieve the goals of supporting range queries, logarithmic-hop routing, and efficient load balancing.

This transition alongside with the advance of use of the Internet has created a new kind of social environment, commonly known as virtual life. This paper presents an excerpt of the results of a survey investigating this environment with particular regard to the interaction between gaming and career, relationships as well as social groups. “Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays. ” Schiller 1 https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2008/2008-steg-vaegs-gaming.pdf http://www.slideshare.net/vaegs/online-gaming-as-tool-for-career-development-presentation Ralf Klamma, Nalin Sharda, Baltasar Fernández-Manjón, Harald Kosch and Marc Spaniol CEUR Workshop Proceedings Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games (STEG'08) Maastricht School of Management, Maastricht, The Netherlands First International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games (STEG'08) September 16, 2008 en DarkoDugosija VadiEfe StephanHackenbracht TobiasVaegs AnnaHannemann techreport draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01 2008 7 1 draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01.txt <prt>expires: January 15, 2009 (work in progress)</prt> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01 Online <prt>IETF Trust</prt> An online version is available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01 Internet Drafts <prt>Internet Engineering Task Force</prt> Internet Engineering Task Force en 1 TobiasHeer SamuVarjonen techreport draft-varjonen-hip-cert-00 2008 2 1 draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01.txt <prt>expires: August 21, 2008 (work in progress)</prt> http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-varjonen-hip-cert-00 Online <prt>IETF Trust</prt> An online version is available at: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-varjonen-hip-cert-01 Internet Drafts <prt>Internet Engineering Task Force</prt> Internet Engineering Task Force en TobiasHeer SamuVarjonen techreport 200807VOMLEHNAIB200816NetworkSimulatorComparison Aachener Informatik Berichte 2008 2008-16 AIB 2008-16 1-28 Ranging from the development of new protocols to validating analytical performance metrics, network simulation is the most prevalent methodology in the field of computer network research. While the well known ns-2 toolkit has established itself as the quasi standard for network simulation, the successors are on their way. In this paper, we first survey recent contributions in the field of network simulation tools as well as related aspects such as parallel network simulation. Moreover, we present preliminary results which compare the resource demands for ns-3, JiST, SimPy and OMNeT++ by implementing the identical simulation scenario in all these network simulation tools. https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2008/AIB-2008-16.pdf Online
