This joint CMTA – C4DT conference will be held on the 6th of June 2019 at EPFL’s SwissTech Convention Center from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m, following on from the EPFL School of Computer and Communication Sciences’ Research Day. Speakers and panelists at the conference will discuss the first experiences made in Switzerland with the tokenization of securities and the professional custody of digital assets, as well as the future shape of trading platforms for digital assets.
The JPEG committee calls for industry/academic participation to its 3rd workshop on media blockchain.
This free public workshop will be held in Geneva on Wednesday the 20th of March 2019 in conjunction with the 83rd ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG1 (JPEG) Meeting.
Please register at the latest by Friday 15 March 2019 by filling out the following 2 forms: Form 1 (select “Invited expert” as membership category) and Form 2 (for logistical reasons).
The C4DT software team gives support to both the laboratories and the industrial partners. For the laboratories, the C4DT team works hand-in-hand with their developers to create and update best practices, and do regular meetings.
For the industrial partners, the C4DT team offers help, and in conjunction with the Academy, training for specific software packages.
The software from the laboratories attached to C4DT are in three categories: showcase, fresh from the lab; incubator, being worked on by C4DT; market, stable and supported software.
While the projects from the labs target the publication of a paper, the demonstrator targets real use-cases with real people. You can always have a look at https://demo.c4dt.org to see an updated list of the available projects in the demonstrator.
EPFL is committed to supporting Switzerland’s efforts in the area of cyber defence.

C4DT’s executive director Olivier Crochat took part in the “Infrarouge” debate on the Swiss National TV channel RTS. The topic “profiles, passwords, emails: all hacked?” is largely inspired by the recent data leak named “Collection # 1-5”, which exposed nearly 2.2 billion email addresses and passwords. A quarter of Swiss parliamentarians were affected by a massive theft of computer data.
In this interview Jean-Pierre Hubaux, professor at EPFL, academic director of the Center for Digital Trust, is asked about the recent data leak named “Collection # 1-5”: a collection of 2.2 billion unique usernames and associated passwords which is freely distributed on hacker forums and torrents. According to a RTS survey, 3.3 million Swiss electronic accounts are included.

For a long time, researchers have been proposing transparency systems, where traffic reports produced at strategic network points help assess network behavior and verify service-level agreements or neutrality compliance. However, such reports necessarily reveal when certain traffic appeared at a certain network (…)
