Title : A Multi-Blockchain Approach for Securing VM Migration in Joint Cloud Systems
Speaker : Pedro B. Velloso, LIP6.
Abstract:
Virtual Machine (VM) migration offers several advantages for both cloud operators and cloud users. It allows server maintenance provisioning, reducing service delay, performing load balance and energy consumption management, to deal with SLA violations and security threats. The benefits of VM migration are amplified in the context of Joint clouds, in which multiple clouds owned by distinct operators might exchange VMs. However, VM migration faces some security issues specially in Joint cloud systems. Therefore, in this work we propose a novel approach to secure VM migration for Joint clouds. Therefore, we consider both local migration and inter-cloud migration. Our solution is based on a multi-blockchain system, in which each cloud keeps its own blockchain to store information about local VM migrations. In addition, cloud operators keep a consortium blockchain to store information about inter-cloud migrations. Hence, inter-blockchain communication plays an important role in our work.
In this talk, Pedro will discuss the main aspects related to inter-blockchain communications and present the proposed solution to secure VM migration in a Joint cloud environment.

Title : Trust and accountability in network security service management
Speaker : Yacine Anser, Cnam/Orange
Abstract :
The 5G network is a multi-actor and multi-domain network that will have to respond to a multitude of use cases. The notion of multi-actors raises questions of responsibility, particularly with regard to contractual or legal obligations (notion of liability). In this context, the responsibility of each actor must be delimited and possible deviations must be identified. For this, a network manager who takes responsibility into account is essential. In the 5G ecosystem, several profiles and manifests implicitly coexist. Most of them have a descriptive purpose and are present to give recommendations or to simplify and automate the instantiation of a component. There is no notion of commitment linked to these profiles and manifests and they do not allow to identify the different levels of responsibility. Therefore, we propose a new type of manifest that will combine the characteristics of the existing ones and add a reliability dimension in order to make the different actors responsible. The following aims to define the manifest and to highlight the added value that it brings compared to the existing one. The manifest will serve as an input to the responsibility manager.

Title : Intelligent self-adaptation of reputation driven industrial IoT systems
Speaker : Antoine Crestani, Cnam
Abstract : Connected systems are becoming prevalent in the industrial sector for a plethora of applications, from a medical standpoint to the optimization of production. It is therefore necessary to ensure their trustworthiness for privacy protection and security reasons. New threats to IoT are springing up frequently, and so estimating the reputation of a device is paramount. Existing reputation or trust estimations are either insufficient or focused on Social IoT networks, and are rarely if ever used to adapt the network. Our goal is to propose an estimation of that reputation that takes into account the widest possible spectrum of inputs that can influence reputation, such as user input, device capabilities and network activity. With that reputation estimation we will be able to provide a form of diagnosis and propose a solution to adapt a network to increase trustworthiness of all devices. To guide that adaptation we will apply software design patterns that are proven to increase reliability and efficiency.
