Radia Pearlman, Fellow, Dell EMC Blockhain: Hype or Hope? "Blockchain" is a technology that powers Bitcoin, and has gotten a lot of press, though very little of it actually explains what blockchain is and how it works. This talk will explain how Bitcoin's blockchain technology works, and its properties, including efficiency, security, and anonymity. There is a lot of misinformation published about it, and to further the confusion, researchers are naming all sorts of things "blockchain" that bear little resemblance to the original blockchain. So, is blockchain a revolutionary technology that will enable not only electronic money, but have all sorts of other applications?  Or is it an unscalable fad that will fade away? Bio: Radia Perlman is a Fellow at Dell EMC.  Her specialties include network routing protocols, and network security. She developed the technology for making network routing self-stabilizing, largely self-managing, and scalable.  She also invented the spanning tree algorithm, which transformed Ethernet from a technology that supported a few hundred nodes within a single building, to something that could support large networks.  She also has made contributions in network security, including scalable data expiration, distributed algorithms despite malicious participants, DDOS prevention techniques, and user authentication. She is the author of the textbook “Interconnections” (about network layers 2 and 3) and coauthor of “Network Security”. She has been recognized with many industry honors including induction into the National Academy of Engineering, the Inventor Hall of Fame, and lifetime achievement awards from Usenix and SIGCOMM.  She has a PhD in computer science from MIT. and Chris Boscolo, Founder and CEO of ZNO Labs, official launch partner of the lifeID Foundation Blockchain-based Identity: A Chance to Fix What the Internet Got Wrong About Identity Digital identities on the Internet today are broken. To prove ownership of your online accounts, you need to keep track of dozens of passwords. These centralized usernames and passwords are targets for hackers who want to gain control of your accounts. Furthermore, proving who you are online means handing over far too much personal information that, once out of your control, is often carelessly disclosed to third parties. This presentation will provide an overview of blockchains and how they enable a new paradigm for digital identities, where users remain in complete control over their account credentials while limiting disclosure of personal information. Bio Chris Boscolo is Founder and CEO of ZNO Labs, the official launch partner of the lifeID Foundation. ZNO Labs is partnering with the lifeID Foundation to build and launch a world-wide, open source, blockchain-based identity platform. Chris has decades of experience in security startups as a founder and technical leader, most notably as chief software architect of WatchGuard Technologies, where he lead the development of its market-leading Internet firewall/VPN appliance. Chris also was Founder and CTO of Napera Networks, a network security company he later sold. Prior to working on lifeID, Chris served as the Vice President of Software Development at Optimum Energy.

Chengyun Chu, CEO and Co-founder of C2SEC INC. The future of cyber risk assessment in the cloud: can we predict and prepare for cyber risks?  In Feb 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a guidance calling on public companies to disclose their cyber risks to investors. This action was because cyber is now a long-term risk factor that may impact a company's financial bottom-line, as shown by incidents such as 2017's Equifax data breach. Can we assess, predict and quantify cyber risks so that enterprises can effectively manage and hedge cyber risks? And how will cloud computing change the overall picture? We will have a live demonstration to illustrate the complexity of modern enterprises IT systems, the challenges the executives and security teams facing to manage their cyber risks, and the future of cyber risk assessment combining the state-of-the-art cyber security, cloud, big data and artificial intelligence technologies.
