SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Protocols in Dynamic Epistemic Logic
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.\n\nSpeaker: Alexandru Dragomir (University of Bucharest)\n\nTitle: Protocols in Dynamic Epistemic Logic\nAbstract: Dynamic epistemic logics are useful in reasoning about knowledge and certain acts of learning (epistemic actions). However\, not all epistemic actions are allowed to be executed in an initial epistemic model\, and this is where the concept of a protocol comes in: a protocol stipulates what epistemic actions are allowed to be performed in a model. The aim of my presentation is to introduce the audience to the account of protocols in [1\, 2]. \n\n\nReferences:\n[1] H. van Ditmarsch\, S. Ghosh\, R. Verbrugge\, Y.

SUMMARY:BLOCKCHAIN - More than a buzzword
DESCRIPTION:Title: BLOCKCHAIN – More than a buzzword \nSpeaker: Ionut-Daniel Dobos (MBN Technologies) \n\nAbstract: In this presentation we will take a look at the concept of a blockchain as a mean to hold historical transactional data (while maintaining all the core concepts of Cryptography) and moreover\, to see how IPFS uses such approaches to ensure a way of general data storage with the same capabilities. We will choose the Ethereum network as a use case for the first topic\, taking a deeper look into the upcoming Casper update for the consensus mechanism\, introducing the Proof of Stake paradigm.

SUMMARY:A quantitative analysis of the “Lion-Man” game
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ulrich Kohlenbach (Technische Universität Darmstadt)\nTitle: A quantitative analysis of the “Lion-Man” game\nAbstract: We analyze\, based on an interplay between ideas and techniques from logic and geometric analysis\, a pursuit-evasion game. More precisely\, we focus on a discrete lion and man game with an ε-capture criterion. We prove that in uniformly convex bounded domains the lion always wins and\, using ideas stemming from proof mining\, we extract a uniform rate of convergence for the successive distances between the lion and the man. As a byproduct of our analysis\, we study the relation among different convexity properties in the setting of geodesic spaces.\nJoint work with Genaro López-Acedo and Adriana Nicolae. \n\n\nReferences:\n[1] U.

SUMMARY:First-order logic and vagueness
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Marian Calborean (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: The Sorites paradox is usually studied as a propositional paradox. However\, the general form of the Sorites is second-order\, with three main features. It doesn’t contain any arbitrary parameters. It can be used to generate the propositional Sorites by appropriate replacement of the second-order premise with arbitrary clauses. Finally\, it is generally nonfirstorderizable\, relying on the notion of transitive closure of a relation. However\, it can be expressed in FOL with a finite upper bound on the elements of the relation. This leads to a definition of vagueness in classical FOL\, using the interplay between a total preorder and a monadic predicate. A notational extension of FOL will introduce a vague structure formed by the predicate (e.g.tall)\, the broad predicate (e.g. broadly tall) and the strict predicate (e.g. strictly tall). It allows the failure of a weak non-contradiction (e.g. ‘Some men are both broadly tall and broadly short’)\, the failure of a weak LEM (e.g. ‘Some men are neither strictly tall nor strictly short`)\, and the truth of a non-paradoxical tolerance (e.g. ‘If a person of n cm is strictly tall\, a person of n-1 cm is broadly tall’). \nReferences:\n[1] P.

SUMMARY:An introduction to BAN logic (a logic of authentication)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alexandru Dragomir (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: One of the first and most discussed logical approaches to the problem of verifying security protocols is the one proposed in BAN logic [1]. BAN logic is a many-sorted modal logic used for its intuitive and compelling set of inference rules devised for reasoning about an agent’s beliefs\, trust and message exchange. My presentation will focus on (1) presenting the language and inference rules of BAN logic\, (2) following the original paper’s analysis of the Otway-Rees protocol\, (3) presenting some objections to using BAN\, and (4) discussing the problem of offering a semantics of BAN logic. \nReferences:\n[1] M. Burrows\, M. Abadi\, R. Needham\, A logic of authentication. Proc. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 426\, no. 1871\, 233–271\, 1989.

SUMMARY:Local Reasoning about Parametric and Reconfigurable Component-based Systems
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Radu Iosif (CNRS – VERIMAG\, France) \n\nAbstract: We introduce a logical framework for the specification and verification of component-based systems\, in which finitely many component instances are active\, but the bound on their number is not known. Besides specifying and verifying parametric systems\, we consider the aspect of dynamic reconfiguration\, in which components can migrate at runtime on a physical map\, whose shape and size may change. We describe such para- metric and reconfigurable architectures using resource logics\, close in spirit to Separation Logic\, used to reason about dynamic pointer structures. These logics support the principle of local reasoning\, which is the key for writing modular specifications and building scalable verification algorithms\, that deal with large industrial-size systems. Joint work with Marius Bozga and Joseph Sifakis.

SUMMARY:Anomaly Detection Reading Group: Deep OC-SVM
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Andrei Pătrașcu (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: Recent empirical results confirm that one-class (OC) classification methods remain among the most important learning strategies for anomaly detection. In this seminar\, we will technically describe in detail multiple basic OC schemes such as OC-SVM and SVDD and their deep variants\, in order to identify room of improvements or generalization directions towards the graph anomaly detection context.

SUMMARY:Dynamic Code Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Radu Velea (BitDefender) \n\nAbstract: Static code analysis methods have the advantage of providing deterministic and reliable results. Malware has evolved beyond the point where simple pattern matching algorithms or signatures can provide adequate levels of protection. To respond to new threats we have to look at other hidden aspects such as execution behavior and fight evasive techniques by performing dynamic code analysis. This presentation discusses how to do this using runtime emulation and describes the existing challenges for the most popular architectures and executable file formats.

SUMMARY:Protocols in Dynamic Epistemic Logic
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Alexandru Dragomir (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: Dynamic epistemic logics are useful in reasoning about knowledge and certain acts of learning (epistemic actions). However\, not all epistemic actions are allowed to be executed in an initial epistemic model\, and this is where the concept of a protocol comes in: a protocol stipulates what epistemic actions are allowed to be performed in a model. The aim of my presentation is to introduce the audience to two accounts of protocols in DEL: one based on [1]\, and the second on [2]. \nReferences:\n[1] T.

SUMMARY:An introduction to hybrid-dynamic first-order logic
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Ionuţ Ţuţu (Royal Holloway\, University of London) \n\nAbstract: We propose a hybrid-dynamic first-order logic as a formal\nfoundation for specifying and reasoning about reconfigurable\nsystems. As the name suggests\, the formalism we develop extends\n(many-sorted) first-order logic with features that are common to\nhybrid and to dynamic logics. This provides certain key advantages for\ndealing with reconfiguration\, such as: (a) a signature of nominals\,\nincluding operation and relation symbols\, that allows references to\nspecific possible worlds / system configurations – as in the case of\nhybrid logics; (b) distinguished signatures of rigid and flexible\nsymbols\, where the rigid symbols are interpreted uniformly across\npossible worlds – this supports a rigid form of quantification\, which\nensures that variables have the same interpretation regardless of the\npossible world where they are evaluated; (c) hybrid terms\, which\nincrease the expressive power of the logic in the context of rigid\nsymbols; and (d) modal operators over dynamic-logic actions\, which are\ndefined as regular expressions over binary nominal relations. In this\ncontext\, we advance a notion of hybrid-dynamic Horn clause and develop\na series of results that lead to an initial-semantics theorem for the\nHorn-clause fragment of hybrid-dynamic first-order logic.

SUMMARY:How to find bugs in your (x86) code: Applications that use RIVER
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Bogdan Ghimiș (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: From a security perspective\, discovering bugs before shipping a product is crucial. This presentation will be about RIVER\, a tool that can help us to inspect x86 binary code. This lecture will encompass two papers describing methods of finding problematic inputs: a genetic algorithm and a method using taint analysis. The genetic algorithm is used in conjunction with Apache Spark – an engine used for big data and distributed computing – to determine the inputs that provide the best code coverage. The second method uses taint analysis in order to infer which parts of the input are used by the program to determine a model with which we can generate new inputs that adhere to a certain format and that allows us to get better code coverage.

SUMMARY:Verifying security protocols using BAN logic - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alexandru Dragomir (University of Bucharest) \n\nAbstract: Epistemic logics – logics aimed at reasoning about knowledge and belief – are widely considered to be suitable for modelling\, analyzing and predicting vulnerabilities of security protocols. One of the first and most discussed logical approaches to the problem of verifying security protocols is the one proposed in BAN logic (Burrows\, Abadi & Needham 1989)\, a many-sorted epistemic logic used for its intuitive and compelling set of inference rules devised for reasoning about an agent’s beliefs\, trust and message exchange. I will assume knowledge of the basics of BAN logic and focus on presenting and analyzing the Needham-Schroeder and Kerberos protocols using this particular logical framework. Consequently\, I will highlight some of the pros and cons of using BAN logic in verifying security protocols.

SUMMARY:Lindström's Theorems II
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:   Mihai Prunescu (University of Bucharest)  \n\nAbstract: Regular logic systems which are strictly stronger than the first order predicate calculus cannot satisfy in the same time Löwenheim-Skolem for statements and compacity (Lindström 1). Effectively presented such systems cannot satisfy in the same time Löwenheim-Skolem for statements and the condition that the set of generally valid sentences is recursively enumerable (Lindström 2). We sketch the proof that uses partial isomorphisms. \nReferences:\n[1] H.-D. Ebbinghaus\, J. Flum\, W. Thomas\, Mathematical Logic.
