Description
SafetyNet is the Android component developed by Google to verify the devices’ integrity. These checks are used by the developers to prevent running applications on devices that would not meet security requirements but it is also used by Google to prevent bots, fraud and abuse.In 2017, Collin Mulliner & John Kozyrakis made one of the first public presentations about SafetyNet and a glimpse into the internal mechanisms. Since then, the Google anti-abuse team improved the strength of the solution which moved most of the original Java layer of SafetyNet, into a native module called DroidGuard. This module implements a custom virtual machine that runs a proprietary bytecode provided by Google to perform the devices’ integrity checks.The purpose of this talk is to make a state-of-the-art of the current implementation of SafetyNet. In particular, we aim at presenting the internal mechanisms behind SafetyNet and the DroidGuard module. This includes an overview of the VM design, its internal mechanisms, and we will introduce the security checks performed by SafetyNet to detect Magisk, emulators, rooted devices, and even Pegasus.

Les jeux vidéo de l’écran au réel : enjeux juridiques et (géo)politiques au prisme de la cybersécurité
Speaker : Léandre Lebon, Sandrine Turgis - Univ Rennes, IODE
Protection des droits d’auteur, lutte contre les techniques de triche, interactions avec la guerre et les conflits hybrides, enjeux de démocratie ... Sous l’angle de la cybersécurité les enjeux juridiques et (géo)politiques des jeux video sont nombreux. Cette présentation du groupe de travail sur les jeux video (GTJV) permettra d’alimenter la réflexion sur l’articulation entre jeux video et[…]-

The Quest for my Perfect MATE. Investigate MATE: Man-at-the-End attacker (followed by a hands-on application).
Speaker : Mohamed Sabt, Etienne Nedjaï - Univ Rennes, IRISA
Shannon sought security against an attacker with unlimited computational powers: if an information source conveys some information, then Shannon’s attacker will surely extract that information. Diffie and Hellman refined Shannon’s attacker model by taking into account the fact that the real attackers are computationally limited. This idea became one of the greatest new paradigms in computer[…]
