A testbed to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap in industrial control systems - conrad-ekisa/HEANET | Expand |
|---|
ICS cybersecurity is of increasing concern and this is evidenced by the mounting reports of cyber threats and attacks on ICS infrastructure that are referenced both within the technical community and the public media. https://learning.geant.org/conrad-ekisa/ |
Telomerase – eternal life or a panacea for all cancers ?! - hanna-karpenko/BASNET | Expand |
|---|
Telomerase is considered the key to cellular immortality, the “fountain of youth.” This enzyme allows cells to multiply rapidly without aging. At the same time, telomerase allows cancer cells to divide indefinitely, which is the reason for the formation of tumors. Scientists from all over the world have been trying to solve this problem for a very long time. But today there is no exact model of the structure of human telomerase, due to the complexity of the structure and the high cost of this study. Computer modeling methods make it possible to quickly and cost-effectively reconstruct the spatial structure of human telomerase by homology based on the structural data of related templates. The work is done with the help of the State Supercomputer Multi-access Center of the UIIP NASB and the NREN BASNET network infrastructure. Computer methods of molecular dynamics optimize the model and make it accurate enough for rational design drugs and will help to understand that telomerase is eternal life or a panacea for oncology. https://learning.geant.org/hanna-karpenko/ |
A Hierarchical Learning Approach to Enable Network Slicing in Future Telecommunication Systems federico-mason/GARR | Expand |
|---|
In this work, we designed a hierarchical learning architecture, where multiple agents cooperate to orchestrate network slices under different working conditions. Our hierarchical architecture will support PSC in a much more efficient way than conventional approaches, allowing the current telecommunication networks to assist emergency operators (e.g., firefighters, policemen, healthcare professionals) without the need for a dedicated infrastructure. https://learning.geant.org/federico-mason/ |
Indoor Localization Service based on Beacons: A System to Save Your Life! - sara-raggiunto/GARR | Expand |
|---|
Navigation systems help users find their way around the world. But what if we wanted to reach the exact platform of our departing train and it’s a matter of minutes? Or what if in the earthquake/fire event we wanted the shortest path to the escape route? The skill is to move from a problem to an extremely innovative solution. Indoor localization allows users to access unknown environments. The main challenges of the proposed system are the safety, the access control, and the activity monitoring. In fact, knowing instantly the exact position of the people to be assisted is extremely important in an indoor environment. https://learning.geant.org/sara-raggiunto/ |
Biometrics-based scheme for public key agreement protocol in wireless body area networks - anna-valeria-guglielm / GARR | Expand |
|---|
Wireless body area networks (WBANs) are becoming increasingly popular as they allow individuals to continuously monitor their vitals and physiological parameters remotely from the hospital. With the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the availability of portable pulse-oximeters and wearable heart rate detectors has boomed in the market. At the same time, in recent years we assisted to an unprecedented increase of healthcare breaches, revealing the extreme vulnerability of the current generation of WBANs. Therefore, the development of new security protocols to ensure data protection, authentication, integrity and privacy within WBANs are highly needed. In this context, we target a WBAN collecting ECG signals from different locations on the individual’s body, and we propose a new information theoretic key agreement protocol that exploits the inherent randomness of ECG signals to ensure authentication between the nodes within the WBAN. https://learning.geant.org/anna-valeria-guglielmi/ |

This presentation outlines a new approach on human-machine interaction that is inclusive to people with hand/arm movement impediments and vocal impairments through the use of an electroencephalography headset and electromyography surface electrodes respectively, all on a decentralized application that is developed to guarantee privacy on communication between users. https://learning.geant.org/luis-sampaio/ |
Internet of Things - Alvise Baggio, GARR | Expand |
|---|
FaaSt (Forecast as a Service) is a project created on occasion of the hackathon organized by GARR (Hack The Cloud) on November 2019 whose main theme was environmental sustainability. The idea behind Faast is to use cloud communication infrastructure to improve the electric grid and provide end-users with real-time information on the sources of energy used in the grid and to opt for the renewable options. https://learning.geant.org/alvise-baggio/ |

schemes schemes - Panayiota Smyrli, CYNET | Expand |
|---|
Recent advancements in quantum computing have brought about fundamental challenges to cryptography. The security of many classical cryptographic schemes, such as the digital signature algorithm (DSA), the Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange protocol, and their elliptic curve variants, relies on the hardness of the well-known discrete logarithm problem over cyclic groups in elliptic curves over finite fields. https://learning.geant.org/panayiota-smyrli/ |
Computer Discovery of Novel Drugs, Hanna Karpenka, BASNET | Expand |
|---|
Computer molecular modeling techniques play an important role in research into the development of new drugs. The use of neural networks for these methods in the rational design of potential drugs can minimize the time and cost of searching for various targets and potential drugs! Such a computer model can, with high probability, predict the vulnerability in the structure of the infectious agent and indicate which chemical compound should be synthesized. https://learning.geant.org/hanna-karpenka/ |
Challenges and Opportunities of Crowdfunding in Ireland - Kelly Wang, HEAnet | Expand |
|---|
Digital connectivity is transforming all aspects of our lives. Today information, ideas and financial flows are exchanged rapidly online and worldwide. A case in point is Crowdfunding. Enabling investors and entrepreneurs to connect worldwide online, to access much needed finance, this new model has emerged as a powerful disruptive force, reshaping traditional funding models and undermining traditional market dynamics. https://learning.geant.org/kelly-wang/ |
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) |
|
- Paul Duggan, HEAnet
| Expand |
|---|
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is an alternative approach to the Internet networking architecture. The main idea behind this approach is that information is identified by name, rather than by IP address. Due to this capability, this information can be cached on some or all hops on the delivery path between a source and an end-user, depending on a caching policy. For example, if an end-user requests a video, a copy of this video may be cached at every hop along the path between the source and end-user. When an adjacent user requests the same video, the request may be serviced from a node closer to the user instead of from the source. This can lead to significant savings in quality, costs and latency https://learning.geant.org/paul-duggan/ |
