THE FUTURE of SCREENS from James Stanton a Little Bit About Me
THE FUTURE OF SCREENS From james stanton A little bit about me. Hi I am James (Mckenzie) Stanton Thinker / Designer / Engineer / Director / Executive / Artist / Human / Practitioner / Gardner / Builder / and much more... Born in Essex, United Kingdom and survived a few hair raising moments and learnt digital from the ground up. Ok enough of the pleasantries I have been working in the design field since 1999 from the Falmouth School of Art and onwards to the RCA, and many companies. Ok. less about me and more about what I have seen… Today we are going to cover - SCREENS CONCEPTS - DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - WHY ASSETS LIBRARIES - CODE LIBRARIES - COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR IMPLEMENTATION I know, I know, I know. That's all good and well, but what does this all mean to a company like mine? We are about to see a massive change in consumer behavior so let's get ready. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AS A USP Getting this correct will change your company forever. DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION USP-01 Digital transformation (DT) – the use of technology to radically improve performance or reach of enterprises – is becoming a hot topic for companies across the globe. VERY DIGITAL CHANGING NOT VERY DIGITAL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION USP-02 Companies face common pressures from customers, employees and competitors to begin or speed up their digital transformation. However they are transforming at different paces with different results. VERY DIGITAL CHANGING NOT VERY DIGITAL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION USP-03 Successful digital transformation comes not from implementing new technologies but from transforming your organisation to take advantage of the possibilities that new technologies provide. -
Overview: * Conclusion Modules and Libraries Modern Perl Techniques
Modern Perl Techniques to Build Distributed Web 2.0 Applications. Presented By: Matt Burns [email protected] * Conclusion Moose just makes things easier. Joose is just like moose but in javascript land. jQuery and Seamstress allow us to be free of clunky template languages. Customized Web Apps spun up on the fly that are stateful are super neato. CPAN modules make concurrent distributed web apps/service possible and straight-forward. Configuration UDC Joose, jQuery Communication Event Distributed Demultiplexing WDC Continuity, Seamstess Computing Dimensions Concurrency Moose, Coro, AnyEvent EDC Service Ideas Behind This: 1) Owning stock and trading options on that will beat owning stock alone. 2) The Web Browser is the new operating system. KiokuDB RDC 3) Distributed parallel programming allows us the ability to tackle very complicated problems. 4) Explore the ideas behind the "Modern Perl" movement. 5) Explore the benefits of the Moose Joose relationship. 6) Instead of templating languages HTML/XML/etc operate directly on the dom. 7) How to enable an ad-hoc system of services to be coordinated into runtime alliances to solve business processes. Distributed Business Component UDC WDC EDC RDC Messages Events Overview: *** Distributed Paradigm Friendly Joose, jQuery Perl, CPAN Dom About how simple(maybe even easy) it is to build a simple distributed application stack with these off the self of CPAN Component Execution Environment The decrease in the impedence mismatch between objects in perl land and objects in Javascript land. Serializing perl/js objects and marshelling them back and forth from the client and server and between server and server. When we think distributed apps there are often many servers working with the client that hosts the user level component of these distributed apps in a piece of dom tied to a Joose object. -

A Survey of Hardware-Based Control Flow Integrity (CFI)
A survey of Hardware-based Control Flow Integrity (CFI) RUAN DE CLERCQ∗ and INGRID VERBAUWHEDE, KU Leuven Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a computer security technique that detects runtime attacks by monitoring a program’s branching behavior. This work presents a detailed analysis of the security policies enforced by 21 recent hardware-based CFI architectures. The goal is to evaluate the security, limitations, hardware cost, performance, and practicality of using these policies. We show that many architectures are not suitable for widespread adoption, since they have practical issues, such as relying on accurate control flow model (which is difficult to obtain) or they implement policies which provide only limited security. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Hardware-based security protocols; Information flow control; • General and reference → Surveys and overviews; Additional Key Words and Phrases: control-flow integrity, control-flow hijacking, return oriented programming, shadow stack ACM Reference format: Ruan de Clercq and Ingrid Verbauwhede. YYYY. A survey of Hardware-based Control Flow Integrity (CFI). ACM Comput. Surv. V, N, Article A (January YYYY), 27 pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/nnnnnnn.nnnnnnn 1 INTRODUCTION Today, a lot of software is written in memory unsafe languages, such as C and C++, which introduces memory corruption bugs. This makes software vulnerable to attack, since attackers exploit these bugs to make the software misbehave. Modern Operating Systems (OSs) and microprocessors are equipped with security mechanisms to protect against some classes of attacks. However, these mechanisms cannot defend against all attack classes. In particular, Code Reuse Attacks (CRAs), which re-uses pre-existing software for malicious purposes, is an important threat that is difficult to protect against. -
Control-Flow Analysis of Functional Programs
Control-flow analysis of functional programs JAN MIDTGAARD Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University We present a survey of control-flow analysis of functional programs, which has been the subject of extensive investigation throughout the past 30 years. Analyses of the control flow of functional programs have been formulated in multiple settings and have led to many different approximations, starting with the seminal works of Jones, Shivers, and Sestoft. In this paper, we survey control-flow analysis of functional programs by structuring the multitude of formulations and approximations and comparing them. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.3.2 [Programming Languages]: Language Classifica- tions—Applicative languages; F.3.1 [Logics and Meanings of Programs]: Specifying and Ver- ifying and Reasoning about Programs General Terms: Languages, Theory, Verification Additional Key Words and Phrases: Control-flow analysis, higher-order functions 1. INTRODUCTION Since the introduction of high-level languages and compilers, much work has been devoted to approximating, at compile time, which values the variables of a given program may denote at run time. The problem has been named data-flow analysis or just flow analysis. In a language without higher-order functions, the operator of a function call is apparent from the text of the program: it is a lexically visible identifier and therefore the called function is available at compile time. One can thus base an analysis for such a language on the textual structure of the program, since it determines the exact control flow of the program, e.g., as a flow chart. On the other hand, in a language with higher-order functions, the operator of a function call may not be apparent from the text of the program: it can be the result of a computation and therefore the called function may not be available until run time. -
Obfuscating C++ Programs Via Control Flow Flattening
Annales Univ. Sci. Budapest., Sect. Comp. 30 (2009) 3-19 OBFUSCATING C++ PROGRAMS VIA CONTROL FLOW FLATTENING T. L¶aszl¶oand A.¶ Kiss (Szeged, Hungary) Abstract. Protecting a software from unauthorized access is an ever de- manding task. Thus, in this paper, we focus on the protection of source code by means of obfuscation and discuss the adaptation of a control flow transformation technique called control flow flattening to the C++ lan- guage. In addition to the problems of adaptation and the solutions pro- posed for them, a formal algorithm of the technique is given as well. A prototype implementation of the algorithm presents that the complexity of a program can show an increase as high as 5-fold due to the obfuscation. 1. Introduction Protecting a software from unauthorized access is an ever demanding task. Unfortunately, it is impossible to guarantee complete safety, since with enough time given, there is no unbreakable code. Thus, the goal is usually to make the job of the attacker as di±cult as possible. Systems can be protected at several levels, e.g., hardware, operating system or source code. In this paper, we focus on the protection of source code by means of obfuscation. Several code obfuscation techniques exist. Their common feature is that they change programs to make their comprehension di±cult, while keep- ing their original behaviour. The simplest technique is layout transformation [1], which scrambles identi¯ers in the code, removes comments and debug informa- tion. Another technique is data obfuscation [2], which changes data structures, 4 T. L¶aszl¶oand A.¶ Kiss e.g., by changing variable visibilities or by reordering and restructuring arrays. -

Similarly, the null type has only one value, null. Since both types have only one value, there are no operators on these types. These types exist to represent the absence of data, and their difference is only in intent. • undefined represents data that is accidentally missing. • null represents data that is intentionally missing. In general, null is to be used over undefined in your scripts. undefined is given to you by the JavaScript interpreter in certain situations, and it is useful to be able to notice these situations when they appear. Listing 1 shows the difference between the two. Listing 1: Undefined and Null 1 var name; 2 // Will say"Hello undefined" 3 a l e r t( "Hello" + name); 4 5 name= prompt( "Do not answer this question" ); 6 // Will say"Hello null" 7 a l e r t( "Hello" + name); 1.2 Booleans The Boolean type has two values, true and false. -

Control Flow Analysis
SIGPLAN Notices 1970 July Control Flow Analysis Frances E. Allen IBM CORPORATION INTRODUCTION Any static, global analysis of the expression and data relation- ships in a program requires a knowledge of the control flow of the program. Since one of the primary reasons for doing such a global analysis in a compiler is to produce optimized programs, control flow analysis has been embedded in many compilers and has been described in several papers. An early paper by Prosser [5] described the use of Boolean matrices (or, more particularly, connectivity matrices) in flow analysis. The use of "dominance" relationships in flow analysis was first introduced by Prosser and much expanded by Lowry and Medlock [6]. References [6,8,9] describe compilers which use various forms of control flow analysis for optimization. Some recent develop- ments in the area are reported in [4] and in [7]. The underlying motivation in all the different types of control flow analysis is the need to codify the flow relationships in the program. The codification may be in connectivity matrices, in predecessor-successor tables, in dominance lists, etc. Whatever the form, the purpose is to facilitate determining what the flow relation- ships are; in other words to facilitate answering such questions as: is this an inner loop?, if an expression is removed from the loop where can it be correctly and profitably placed?, which variable definitions can affect this use? In this paper the basic control flow relationships are expressed in a directed graph. Various graph constructs are then found and shown to codify interesting global relationships. -

Chapter 7 Levels of Control Flow: 1. Within expressions 2. Among program units 3. Among program statements Evolution: - FORTRAN I control statements were based directly on IBM 704 hardware - Much research and argument in the1960s about the issue - One important result: It was proven that all flowcharts can be coded with only two-way selection and pretest logical loops Def: A control structure is a control statement and the statements whose execution it controls Overall Design Question: What control statements should a language have, beyond selection and pretest logical loops? Copyright © 1998 by Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. 1 Chapter 7 Compound statements - introduced by ALGOL 60 in the form of begin...end A block is a compound statement that can define a new scope (with local variables) Selection Statements Design Issues: 1. What is the form and type of the control expression? 2. What is the selectable segment form (single statement, statement sequence, compound statement)? 3. How should the meaning of nested selectors be specified? Single-Way Examples FORTRAN IF: IF (boolean_expr) statement Problem: can select only a single statement; to select more, a goto must be used, as in the following example Copyright © 1998 by Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. 2 Chapter 7 FORTRAN example: IF (.NOT. condition) GOTO 20 ... ... 20 CONTINUE ALGOL 60 if: if (boolean_expr) then begin ... end Two-way Selector Examples ALGOL 60 if: if (boolean_expr) then statement (the then clause) else statement (the else clause) - The statements could be single or compound Copyright © 1998 by Addison Wesley Longman, Inc. 3 Chapter 7 Nested Selectors e.g.
