Mining patterns of human behavior from large-scale mobile phone data has potential to understand certain phenomena in society. The study of such human-centric massive datasets requires new mathematical models. In this talk I will discuss a novel probabilistic topic model, the distant n-gram topic… Read More

Today is the first day of the TRUST 2013 Conference, which is hosted by the Imperial College London and supported by SBA Research. The TRUST 2013 Conference takes place from 17-19 June 2013 in London, UK. Website
Two positions are currently open at TU Darmstadt: Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter “Sichere Kritische Infrastrukturen” and Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter “Privacy By Design” (more…). If you are interested you can either contact Edgar Weippl at SBA or Stefan Katzenbeisser directly. Joint supervision (TU Wien and TU Darmstadt) of the PhD thesis is possible.
Together with sipgate and ISMK Stralsund, Gabriel Gegenhuber, researcher at SBA Research and University of Vienna, and Michael Pucher, researcher at SBA research, discovered and investigated a vulnerability in the Voice of LTE (VoLTE) stack that is broadly used within MediaTek-based smartphones. ∞
In the Mediatek modem, there is a possible system crash due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. ∞
