In this half hour we study aspects of physically and cryptographically secure hardware (often termed secure element or SE) and the integration into existing circuits. We illustrate utility of such integration by inspecting a cryptocurrency wallet design, and explain the difficulty presented by nondisclosure agreements (NDA) common to industry closed adversaries. We examine several hardware devices, study their parts under a close range circuit camera, and suggest instructions on their use.

Building secure applications involves research of new technology while leveraging well known practices, for example when using ECDSA to secure systems with low power devices.

In this half hour lecture, we study an in depth example of using cryptoaccelerated hardware to research such secure applications.

We review common cryptography practices.

• Applied security paradigms
• Asymetric public key exchange
• Encryption and signing algorithms
• Challenges of low power computing
• Noncomputational security features ...for example mechanical UI constructs

We proposes new hardware supported techniques.

• Open FPGA platforms
• NDA unencumbered SE
• Circumventing black boxes
• Benchmark measurements
• Hardened serial interfaces

We end by viewing a number of real device hardware circuits under a close range microscope, and possibly offer a device petting zoo to encourage exploration of hardware.

Using special purpose hardware devices to protect secrets is a staple of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. We share the lessons learned of creating secure hardware wallets and insecure conference badges at Monero Hardware.

In this half hour presentation, we work backwards disassembling parts of a series of hardware security devices capable of participating in blockchain networks.

We consider devices like the Signet, Nitrokey, SC4-HSM, Trezor, and the Monero Hardware Wallet. In our high level comparison we identify common hardware components and common strategies to defeat MITM and other forge attempts at network edges. Shifting gears, we disassemble and put devices under the microscope to study circuits. Explanations are kept at novice level hardware competence to ensure we're all on the same page.

An interesting angle involves counting the generic blockchain use cases provided by special purpose cryptocurrency wallet hardware, and we conclude by a whirlwind hypothetical workflow illustrating the steps involved in building a new secure hardware device.

In this demonstrative session we learn the ropes of IoT nodes with computer vision. We develop a web camera application, consider security, and store or forward data for image processing.

Combining a number of components to make a full IoT system solves end to end use cases like secure image processing via webcams. With the limited processing power and storage of embedded systems, we learn to move data across networks, routing via gateways, and messaging to cloud applications that provide back end processing. To this end, we'll put a number of pieces of hardware in operation and take a cookie cutter approach to conclude with a system consisting of:

• webcams
• image sensor hosts
• IoT gateways
• cloud servers
• imaging SDKs

Key learnings include:

• Understanding of IoT optics
• How to connect to AWS IoT via MQTT
• Collecting video to process with OpenCV
• Leveraging AWS Rekognition and deep learning

Hardware will be demonstrated in this typically hands on (but adapted to room conditions) session. Novice users are welcome, and we will cut and paste source code with step by step instruction maintaining a level of learning and fun.

In this half hour lecture we draw from experiences of delivering half day IoT workshops while focusing on the Bluetooth and Bluetooth Smart data transports for M2M communication. Several demonstrations illustrate the topic in question, emphasized by a whirlwind tour of IoT device classes on the mobile IoT lab [1].
