Swiss CyberSecurity: Blockchain Security
I am pleased to invite you to the first after-work event in 2020! This event is aiming to bring together cybersecurity experts, decision-makers, IT professionals, and all those who are interested in blockchain security.    Agenda   18:30-18:45 Welcome and registration 18:45-19:00 Swiss CyberSecurity News 
19:00-20:30 Blockchain Security Presentations: 
<UL>
<LI>Pedro López-Belmonte: We will discuss the opportunities on the security field that Blockchain can open, and the approach within an Enterprise context, with features such as privacy, identities or zero-knowledge proof.</LI>
</UL>
<UL>
<LI>Julien Bringer: In this talk, we will give an overview of the current trends in international standardization on blockchain and, particularly, related to the security aspects. We will also discuss some of the main security pain points as of today for digital assets, blockchain and distributed application (smart contract) security.</LI>
</UL>
<UL>
<LI>Simone La Porta: We’ll start with an introduction to smart contracts, computer programs that can be correctly executed by a network of mutually distrusting nodes, without the need of an external trusted authority. Since smart contracts handle and transfer assets of considerable value, besides their correct execution it is also crucial that their implementation is secure against attacks that aim at stealing or tampering the assets. Motivated by the known security breaches and recurring ﬁnancial losses due to smart contract vulnerabilities, in this presentation, we will review the ﬁeld of security of smart contract programming and provide a comprehensive taxonomy of all known security issues.</LI>
