Software

We work on the following software projects, as either maintainers or contributors, as part of research or standardization activities, open-sourcing the whole or part of the code and/or dataset whenever possible.

ORCA (Obfuscation-Resilient Container Analysis)

ORCA logo

ORCA is a tool designed to analyze obfuscated or obscure container images, providing reliable Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) even when traditional tools fail. It addresses the challenge of container image obfuscation and empowers developers and security teams to better manage and secure containerized environments.

5G3E: 5G End to End Emulation

The 5G3E (5G End-to-End Emulation) dataset contains monitoring metrics of a virtualized 5G infrastructure. The dataset is created using real commercial cellular network traffic anonymized traces over a period of 14 days, injected over an emulated 5G platform including emulated radio access and 5G core network. The possible usages of the dataset include, but are not limited to, learning and data analysis in relation to novel network automation architectures, protocols and algorithms.

ELORA (End-to-end Emulation of Massive IoT LoRaWAN Infrastructures)

ELoRa is a software aimed at accurately emulating end-to-end (E2E) LoRaWAN traffic, from device to server. ELoRa is built using the well known ns-3 network simulator, extending a LoRaWAN module. Among existing simulators, this module presents the most complete implementation of the LoRaWAN Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. In our proposition, we build a translation layer between the simulation, and real (UDP-encapsulated) LoRaWAN traffic, de facto enabling two way real-time communications with the outside environment. The resulting UDP traffic is transparently accepted by most LoRaWAN servers, as we re-implement in ns-3 the gateway packet forwarder protocol developed by Semtech, which patented the Long Range (LoRa) modulation technology.

Bitcoin pool-hopping detection

The project is a new approach to detect pool-hopping and aims to measure the presence of the phenomenon in the recent part of the blockchain. Specifically what we want to understand are the differences in earnings between static miners and hoppers, if any. Since reward methods such as PPS and PPLNS are adopted by the considered pools, the revenue should be earned equally. The considered pools have similar hash rates in the May-July 2020 period and are Ant Pool, BTC Pool, F2 Pool, Huobi Pool and Poolin Pool.

ULOOF (User-Level Online Offloading Framework)

Framework allowing for automated recompilation of mobile Android applications to optimize their execution with computation offloading; methods that are classified as offloadable can be dynamically executed in nearby edge computing node depending on a machine learning approach working on latency, energy and CPU profiles.

NDN-OMNeT: NDN implementation in OMNET++

Named Data Networking (NDN) is a promising architecture investigated as an alternative for IP, in particular for IoT environments. NDN-OMNeT is a framework to simulate NDN wireless networks OMNeT++. Designed for low-end devices and gateways in IoT environments, NDN-OMNeT is capable of simulating NDN scenarios at the boundary of the network and the system. It is currently used to evaluate NDN forwarding strategies in constrained wireless networks.

LemonLDAP::NG (LL::NG)

Modular Web Single Sign On (SSO) and Access Management free software, based on Apache::Session modules. It simplifies the build of a protected area with a few changes in protected applications. It manages both authentication and authorization and provides headers for accounting. LemonLDAP::NG provides a full AAA protection :
* authentication (LDAP, Active Directory, Kerberos, Database, SSL, Social Networks, CAS, SAML, OpenID Connect, …)
* authorization (access rules for applications based on attributes and groups) and 
* accounting (user identity in logs).
LemonLDAP::NG is a free architecture software hosted by the OW2 consortium which is an independent, global, open-source software community.
