Nanovised Control Flow Attestation

2022

This paper presents an improvement of control flow attestation (C-FLAT) for Linux. C-FLAT is a control attestation system for embedded devices. It was implemented as a software executing in ARM’s TrustZone on bare-metal devices. We extend the design and implementation of C-FLAT through the use of a type 2 Nanovisor in the Linux operating system. We call our improved system “C-FLAT Linux”. Compared to the original C-FLAT, C-FLAT Linux reduces processing overheads and is able to detect the SlowLoris attack. We describe the architecture of C-FLAT Linux and provide extensive measurements of its performance in benchmarks and real-world scenarios. In addition, we demonstrate the…

HyperIO: A Hypervisor-Based Framework for Secure IO

2023

Malware often attempts to steal input and output through human interface devices to obtain confidential information. We propose to use a thin hypervisor, called “HyperIO”, to realize a secure path between input and output devices using a partial implementation of device drivers. We apply our approach using two security systems built on HyperIO: FireSafe and ClipCrypt. FireSafe is a web browser extension which allows a remote web server to display and receive sensitive user information securely. ClipCrypt enables the user to securely enter and view their confidential information in commodity Windows applications.

Plants in the UK flower a month earlier under recent warming.

2022

Global temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, but environmental responses are often difficult to recognize and quantify. Long-term observations of plant phenology, the annually recurring sequence of plant developmental stages, can provide sensitive measures of climate change and important information for ecosystem services. Here, we present 419 354 recordings of the first flowering date from 406 plant species in the UK between 1753 and 2019 CE. Community-wide first flowering advanced by almost one month on average when comparing all observations before and after 1986 ( p < 0.0001). The mean first flowering time is 6 days earlier in southern than northern sites, 5 days earlier…

Young adults personal concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland: an issue for social concern

2020

PurposeThis study focuses on how young adults face the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating their personal concerns about mental well-being, career/studies and economic situation. The authors investigated how young adults' (aged 18–29) personal concerns differ from older people's concerns (aged 30–65) and which person- and context-related antecedents relate to personal concerns.Design/methodology/approachData of Finnish young adults aged 18–29 (n = 222), who participated in the “Corona Consumers” survey (N = 1,000) in April 2020, were analyzed by path analysis and compared to participants aged 30–65 by independent samples t-test.FindingsYoung adults were significantly more concerned about the…

Entrepreneurial choices depend on trust : Some global evidence

2022

Interpersonal trust and people’s trust in institutions are important components of social capital, which has been shown to have not only innate social value but also diverse direct and indirect positive social and economic impacts. Using data for an economically and globally diverse group of countries, we examine empirically how changes in interpersonal trust and trust in institutions affect entrepreneurship over time. Our findings suggest that (1) enhancing either type of trust leads to more entrepreneurial activity and (2) an increase in interpersonal trust causes a structural change in the composition of the TEA-type entrepreneurship. Increased trust reduces the share of relatively lower…

L'applicazione delle regole di concorrenza nel mercato globale-locale: istanze di tutela, sfide ed opportunità

2015

La globalizzazione pone dal punto di vista antitrust nuove sfide, legate alla necessità di individuare le regole giuridiche e gli strumenti per intervenire in mercati i cui confini trascendono non solo la dimensione nazionale, ma addirittura quella europea. In questi contesti il controllo esercitato dalle singole autorità nazionali diventa, infatti, sempre più complicato e, per certi aspetti marginale, mentre quello realizzato all’interno della rete europea richiede alcuni aggiustamenti, necessari a incidere efficacemente sulle condotte tenute nell’arena globale

Service public d’eau en régie : vers une gouvernance efficace ?

2021

In the French water sector, some large cities have put an end to public service delegations entrusted to private operators and have chosen to return in public control, which may seem surprising in view of the new public management advocating the private sector model. In a water sector, a “natural monopoly” marked by strong moral hazard, information asymmetries and many uncertainties, public service delegations continue to raise serious governance issues both theoretically and empirically, despite more restrictive regulations. A three-year intervention-research in a new régie, public operator, contributed to the implementation of management tools. The multiple data collected (documents, inte…

The roles of the state and social licence to operate? Lessons from nuclear waste management in Finland, France, and Sweden

2019

The concept of social licence to operate (SLO) is an increasingly popular tool for companies to manage their relations with the local communities. SLO is very seldom used in the nuclear sector, which has nevertheless applied similar approaches, under notions such as partnership and participatory governance. This article explores the specific challenges that the application of SLO faces in the nuclear waste management (NWM) sector, by applying an often-used SLO framework of Boutilier and Thomson to illustrative case studies concerning nuclear waste repository projects in Finland, France and Sweden. Among the specificities of this sector, the article focuses on the central roles of the state …

Testing the Trust Game with undergraduates: An experiment with wealth heterogeneity

2017

Ponència presentada a 3rd International Conference on Higher Education Advances, HEAd’17, Universitat Politècnica de València, València, 2017 Trust, reciprocity and a fair distribution of resources are cruzial in the sustainability of any economic system. As a matter of fact, those are values that should be promoted among the new generations, especially among university students enrolled in degrees that are related to economics. Under this context, we are interested in enhancing criticism and active reflection among undergraduates with respect to social values. With such a goal in mind, we designed a two step classroom task that includes playing the Trust Game (TG) in the first place and, s…
