The application of information and communication technologies in critical infrastructure management is a challenge from many aspects, and one of the most prominent is undoubtedly the cybersecurity one.
The FABULOUS 2022 conference will try to address such challenges adequately while applying new methods and concepts such as artificial intelligence, big data and blockchain.
First demonstration of quantum communication among three states
The first public demonstration of quantum communication between three countries: Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, was demonstrated today as a part of the G20 meeting in Trieste. It was established among Trieste, Ljubljana, and Rijeka.
Thanks to scientists and experts led by the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) within the Croatian Quantum Communication Infrastructure Consortium (CroQCI), which also includes the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, University of Zagreb, and OiV - Digital Signals and Networks.
Croatia, although not a member of the G20, found itself alongside the richest and most influential countries.
The demonstration was organized by Prof. Angelo Bassi from the Department of Physics of the University of Trieste and the Quantum Communications Group of the National Institute of Optics (CNR-INO) led by Dr. Alessandro Zavatta.
In Slovenia, the demonstration was led by Prof. Rainer Kaltenbaek and Prof. Anton Ramšak from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, with the technical support of Telekom Slovenije, while in Croatia this endeavour was led by Dr. Mario Stipčević and
Dr. Martin Lončarić from the Ruđer Bošković Institute with the support of colleagues Prof. Dr. Dragan Peraković and Dr. Ivan Cvitić from the Department of Information and Communication Traffic from the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences in
Zagreb and the telecom company OIV - Digital Signals and Networks.
"The Croatian side, in addition to full quantum communication on the 100.5-kilometer-long Trieste-Rijeka route, here for the first time in the world publicly demonstrated the so-called "quantum-enhanced cryptography", through which Rijeka is connected to Zagreb. The device that made this possible is the result of cooperation between the "PCE" Marine Electronic Center from Split and the Ruđer Bošković Institute from Zagreb. It is an intermediate step that offers security less than quantum cryptography (which is absolute), but also significantly higher than conventional crypto solutions, and at a significantly lower cost than quantum cryptography." explained Dr. Mario Stipčević, head of the Laboratory for Photonics and Quantum Optics at the RBI and one of the coordinators of the demonstration in Croatia.
"With the successful realization of this endeavour, our scientists and experts broke the ice and paved the way for the realization of quantum infrastructure in the Republic of Croatia. This proves Croatia's readiness to participate in the construction of a pan-European quantum communication network", said Dr. Stipčević.
Quantum communication satisfies the need for secure communication, which is a priority of all governments around the world. This technology achieves absolute security thanks to quantum encryption that works through photon exchange, which allows instantaneous detection of hacker intrusion attempts.
"The importance of today's demonstration is further emphasized in the context of the future European Quantum Communication Infrastructure (EuroQCI) promoted by all EU member states and the European Commission with the support of the European Space Agency. From the very beginning, Croatia has been involved in shaping EuroQCI", explains Dr. Martin Lončarić from the RBI, who, along with Dr. Stipčević, is the coordinator of these activities in Croatia.
"Today we have laid the foundation stone for a new European quantum infrastructure," explained Tommaso Calarco, President of the European Quantum Community Network (QCN), "with unprecedented security, which by nature belongs to us", he concluded.
The demonstration began with official greetings from representatives of the institutions, followed by a real musical treat prepared by three music quartets. Namely, the musicians, using the quantum cryptography established to demonstrate this communication, performed specially prepared musical works in each of the three countries.
The musical performance was achieved thanks to the cooperation of the Trieste Conservatory "Giuseppe Tartini" together with the Music Academies in Ljubljana and Zagreb.
The quartet of saxophonists of the Music Academy in Ljubljana (Miha Rogina soprano, saxophone, Nika Deželak alto saxophone, Agata Živoder tenor saxophone, Domen Koren baritone) performed "Tango virtuoso" by Thierry Escaich.
The String Quartet of the Academy of Music, University of Zagreb (Matej Žerovnik and Luka Kojundžić violin, Filip Kojundžić viola, Lucija Mušac cello) performed Fran Lhotka's "Scherzo", while the quartet of saxophonist of the Trieste Conservatory "Giuseppe Tartini" (soprano-saxophone Elia Sor Emma Marcolin, tenor saxophone Matilda Travain, baritone saxophone Marin Komadina), performed "Suite Hellenique" by Pedro Iturralde.

Project title: Research of security application of innovative information and communication services
Project idea description
The reliability of data for users of various information and communications services has been increasing in recent years. Among other things, it is mentioned the result of an increase in the number of innovative information and communication services and the number of users who use that service.
A significant number of users do not have enough knowledge about the potential threats of such environments, making them vulnerable to a large number of attacks.
With the increasing use of social networks, new attack vectors have been developed, whereby it is possible to use in a number of ways the data that users voluntarily and on their own initiative publish using such services.
The proposed project would identify threats directed to users of various information and communication services, as well as services that are most commonly targeted by malicious users.
In addition, conducting the survey of users and analyzing the results of the survey will define the most vulnerable groups of users.
On the basis of the collected knowledge, the behavior guidelines will be defined when using information and communication services for the most vulnerable groups of users in order to increase the security of their data.
Defined guidelines will be disseminated to users via Internet portals, social networks and other media. The results of the research will be presented in the form of scientific work and scientific-professional community at an international scientific conference with the aim of involving and directing a wider scientific community into the subject problem area.
Analysis of DDoS attack trends
The largest number of infrastructure layer attacks in 2013 and 2014 was performed using the TCP protocol with exploitation of the SYN flag (31.22% and 25.73%).
The SYN flag represents one of six possible TCP header flags (ACK, SYN, URG, FIN, RST, and PSH) whose function is to synchronize sequential packet numbers when initiating a TCP session, and it is often used for implementation of DDoS attack.
Except the SYN and other TCP header flags there are other protocols or protocol parameters that were used in DDoS attacks based on infrastructure and application layer.
After 2014, changes in the frequency of certain infrastructure layer protocols use are noticed. Since the third quarter of 2014, the share of SYN based attacks has been in decline, and the use of other protocols such as UDP, NTP (Network Time Protocol) and DNS (Domain Name System) is rising.
Figure show the frequency of certain protocols use in the implementation of DDoS attacks, quarterly for the time period from the first quarter of 2013 to the first quarter of 2017.
The analyzed data were taken from the company Aakmai Inc., one of the leading firms for protection from DDoS attacks worldwide. There is a noticeable increase in the trend of traffic intensity generated by DDoS attacks since 2012.
The most intense attack was recorded at the end of 2016 with amount to 623 Gbps. The reason for the current trend is the development of cloud computing (CC) concept, which also implies the use of processing capacity considerably larger for the inbound traffic than is the case of traditional IC systems.
Accordingly, successful disruption of IC resource availability in the CC environment requires generating a higher DDoS traffic intensity
Motivations for the attack on information and communication services availability
Availability represents one of the key security requirements. Every IC system have the purpose to deliver the data, information or service to end user.
User can be human, but it can also be a process, machine or any other entity that can benefit from received data, information or service. If IC system cannot perform delivery of them, then it loses its purpose.
If IC resource is not available at requested time, then security requirements such as integrity or confidentiality losses their importance as well.
Availability is usually described in “number of nines notation” where one nine denotes 90% availability level or 36.5 days/year of downtime and six nines denotes 99.9999% of availability level or 31.5 sec/year of downtime.
Availability is the probability that a system or system element is performing its defined function at a given time.
That is why it is important to observe factors that can affect availability of IC resources in ITS system, which implies every element of IC system and not just communication segment.
Motivation for conducting an attack can vary, but 24.43% of organization stated that motivation for generating security incident is disruption of service.
That information is supporting importance of research oriented towards identification of factors that can have negative affect on IC resources availability.
Smart home as innovative services
The rapid development of hardware, software and communication technologies enabled the development of the IoT (Internet of Things) concept. The IoT concept extends the existing Internet network and implies pervasive network-connected devices that represent the link between the digital and physical environment. Digital environment interacting with the physical through a variety of sensors and actuators that have the function to uniquely represent and manage objects from the physical environment. The sensors and actuators contain resources for communication, processing and storage of data, and enable detection and eventual change of a object state. According to the above-mentioned concept, IoT represents the agglomeration of various technologies that are interrelated with the aim of providing innovative services.
The security of a smart home IoT (SHIoT) device is a subject of numerous research. Some shows the first fundamental empirical analysis of the smart home platform security. Applications developed on the Samsung SmartThings platform have been analyzed and vulnerabilities of such applications to numerous security threats were identified such as access rights escalation, unauthorized access to pin code devices, unauthorized device configuration modifications, and so on. Numerous studies have identified the security challenges of a smart home environment associated with unauthorized data modification, inserting malicious code, unauthorized remote device management, eavesdropping, unauthorized routing and others. Authors of paper conducted a vulnerability assessment of SHIoT devices. The research involved a considerable number of vulnerabilities and related threats whose implementation could have a negative impact on user privacy, user data, traffic content, and disabling resource access as a result of DDoS attacks.
Due to numerous limitations, IoT devices are a potential target or source of various cyber-attacks. The availability of information and communication resources in a smart home environment is a key security challenge and can often be hindered by DDoS attacks. In addition to be the target of attack, devices in the smart home environment are ever more frequent sources of DDoS attacks, or generators of illegal DDoS traffic through unprotected IoT devices associated with the botnet network. An example of such botnet through which many DDoS attacks are performed is the Mirai botnet. Mirai has controlled more than 100,000 inadequately protected SHIoT devices and thus generated illegitimate network traffic (DDoS traffic) to the desired destinations.
According to forecasts, by 2020 the total number of devices that IoT concept combines will be approximately 31 billion, and by 2025 about 75 billion. the number of IoT devices in certain economic segments.
There is a significant increase in the number of IoT devices in the consumer sector (SHIoT) compared to other business sectors.
Extrapolation of the SHIoT devices growth trend indicates 12,86 billion devices by 2020. In 2008. the average household was 2.4 SHIoT devices, in 2015 there were 8.6 SHIoT units in the average household, and in 2022 the average household would contain more than 500 SHIoT devices.
According to the statistical data presented, it can be concluded that the increase in the number of SHIoT devices will also affect the increase of the DDoS traffic intensity generated by such devices.
The above indicates an increase in the need for detection methods and DDoS traffic management generated in the smart home environment.
