Beginners Workshop: How to Hack your Web Application
Janosch Maier

Did you ever want to know how hacking works? This beginners workshops gives an introduction into vulnerabilities, application pen testing and the security of web applications. Only if you know how hackers attack your application, you will be able to defend yourself. Nearly all companies use web applications nowadays. Any vulnerability in those applications may be an invitation for hackers to attack it. This workshop will give you insights on those things that you should never neglect when programming your application. From Techie to Techie!

In this talk we present re:claimID, a decentralized, self-sovereign identity
management system. re:claimID allows users to reclaim authority over their
identities and personal data. The system is built on top if a
state-of-the-art, decentralized directory service: The GNU Name System.
Built-in cryptographic mechanisms allow users to selectively disclose
personal data and the directory service ensures that this data is accessible
to authorized parties even if the user is offline. Through OpenID Connect,
integration and use of re:claimID is straight-forward and authorization
flows are familiar. In this talk, we present the current state of re:claimID
as well as a future roadmap.

Buying Snacks via NFC with GNU Taler
Dominik Hofer
Motivation

In the digital age the privacy has become an important matter. But with
the current digital payment methods the privacy of the user is not
guaranteed. To avoid the data sharing, the Taler team implemented a
digital form of cash.

Project

To demonstrate the payment system we developed an interface for a snack
machine based on GNU Taler. This implementation allows the customer to
pay with a smartphone app via NFC or QR-Code.

Team

The project was realized by Taler in cooperation with two students from
Bern University of Applied Sciences.

“Computer says no”: Worüber sollen Algorithmen entscheiden dürfen
segal, Chris Köver

Richtlinien für den ethischen Einsatz von Algorithmen gibt es langsam wirklich genug. Konzerne und Organisationen übertrumpfen sich geradezu damit zu betonen, dass der Mensch bei allen maschinellen Entscheidungen im Mittelpunkt stehen soll, dass die Systeme fair und nachvollziehbar arbeiten müssen. Aber egal, ob sie nun direkt von Google und IBM stammen, von Normungsorganisationen wie IEEE oder der OECD – gemeinsam ist all diesen Richtlinien: Sie sind rechtlich nicht bindend. Die Frage ist also: Wem dienen solche Ansätze der unternehmerischen und staatlichen Selbstregulierung? Und wollen wir uns auf sie verlassen oder brauchen wir klare gesetzliche Auflagen? Welche Regeln sollten für Unternehmen gelten, welche für den Staat? Und wer soll darüber wachen, dass sie eingehalten werden?

Open Source Hardware in industry – meet DIN SPEC 3105
Martin Häuer

Compared to software, the open source approach is relatively new to most actors in the field of (mechanical) hardware. Plus Open Source Hardware faces some special issues. A yet missing definition of its "source code" is one of them (+ patent law, liability, engineers that do not know how to work with git, costly prototyping…).
DIN SPEC 3105 will be/is the first official standard for Open Source Hardware and also the first official standard ever published under a free license (CC-BY-SA 4.0; that was a lot of lobby work ;) ). It defines the technology-specific "source" of Open Source Hardware and aims to build a bridge between research institutes, public authority, industry and the worldwide open source community.

SNAC - The only way to beat Facebook
Steffen

The current social media situation is catastrophic. A single megacorporation controls the entire digital life of large parts of the world's population. Together with the rapidly improving methods for processing this data, a power that not only concerns experts is being bundled here. And Facebook's monopoly secures itself. On the one hand, users cannot leave Facebook(/ Instagram/WhatsApp) without being cut off from the social life of their friends. On the other hand, alternatives fail because they can't reach a critical mass. It seems impossible that a single application will ever replace Facebook. The freedom of the Internet is fundamentally threatened. Breaking the power of Facebook is probably one of the greatest challenges of our time. And in order to solve this task, we did come up with a detailed concept that we want to present to the public for the first time at 36c3.
SNAC - Social Network Application Cluster - is the name of the protocol used to standardise data exchange between different social media applications. Just as email protocols enable users to choose their provider freely, this protocol should also enable greater diversity in this area. It is easy to see that a single application isn't able to satisfy the needs of every single user. With SNAC we enable a decentralized structure, where each user can choose his server, but also his client application, from a broad spectrum. By developing our pilot application Open Source, we make it easy for other developers to integrate their own applications into the network.
But the decentralized Open Source dream alone is not enough to revolutionize the social media world. In order for the new applications emerging in SNAC to be able to run, an appropriate economic environment is needed to cover the operating costs. If the user accesses many different servers while surfing through the decentralized network, the question arises who is responsible for the access costs caused. There is a lack of a corresponding micropayment service with which it is possible to pay very small amounts easy and securely. At first glance, this seems like a project of its own, but it is closely linked to the operation of a decentralised social network. And there are several advantages emerging by linking social networks with a micropayment system. For example, users can donate a few cents to the creators of content they value, which then adds up to a fair reward for the creators. And this is done directly, independently and without forced ads for the users. But the mental alarm bell of data security rightly rings here when one tries to link financial and private communication data. Therefore, it is all the more important to hand over data sovereignty to the user when planning the protocols and to leave the server operators only the task for which they are fairly paid - the operation of the servers.
We are currently putting this concept into protocols that enable secure transactions and protect the user's data. The aim is to create an environment where everyone has the chance to honestly and transparently pay the costs they incur instead of filling the pockets of corporations with their data.
Our project is quite daring, that is clear to us. And yet we are sure that this is exactly what we want to do in the coming years. Because there is a chance that we will find 15 crazy people who want to develop this utopia together with us. There's a chance we'll find 50,000 people supporting us with an average of 1€ a month to feed our 15 crazy developers. There's a chance that we can create an environment where many small subnets with cool innovative applications can trigger a movement that's going to be so big it will overcome Facebook's monopoly. And above all, we can create an environment where technology benefits people again, rather than the other way around.
If 36c3 isn't the right place for a project like this, what else is? We will give a talk in which we will discuss a better world and the difficulties that lie on the path there. We want to encourage listeners to think and participate, but above all we are also there to initiate a discussion. We want to hear all the concerns and mistakes that we overlook and we need the expertise from all the different angles that only the CCC brings together.
