We are happy to offically launch the website and call for papers for the 11th OpenSky Symposium in Toulouse, France on October 30/31!

We are hosted this year by @xoolive at ISAE-SUPAERO! All info on the website: https://symposium.opensky-network.org

Tatiana Polishchuk (Linköping University) will oversee the programme along with our excellent programme committee, which has again increased in size after the recent growth of the Symposium.

Abstracts due: August 25, 2023, put it in your calendars now!

Are you still writing your space and satellite security papers for #SpaceSec23? The deadline has been extended to 13 January AoE, so almost one week to get that paper in!

Only 7 days left to submit to @spacesec co-located at NDSS 2023, the first academic workshop on the security of space and satellite systems! Papers can have 4 or 8 pages and a large range of topics.

We are also collaborating with the CySat 2023 satellite security conference in Paris to offer up to five papers an additional chance to also present their work in Paris in April.

Also now on Mastodon! :)

We are holding the Workshop on Satellite and Space Security at @NDSSSymposium
2023, the first academic workshop on space systems security. We accept short/long papers on all aspects of #space #security.

Submission: 10 Jan 2023, AoE.

CfP: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2023/submissions/cfp-spacesec/

We also collaborate with the CYSAT satellite security conference. Up to five accepted papers may also present their work on-site in Paris at the CySat 2023!

Any questions let us (@masor + @jwillbold) know!

Another bunch of papers has landed from our proceedings of the 10th OpenSky Symposium last month!

One we want to highlight in the current discussion is "Environmental Footprint of Private and Business Jets" where the authors combine open flight tracking data and open aviation emission models in order to give estimates for the footprints of private jets.

Check out the full paper here: https://www.mdpi.com/2673-4591/28/1/13

For every person working in #infosec seeing ICAO implementing “private plane identifiers” will bring the warm feeling of watching a toddler learn to walk… 😂

The whole reason why Musk is pissed off about his plane being tracked using publicly broadcast ADS-B signal is that he subscribed to a Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program, where your identifier is… wait for it… temporary and not assigned to your name in the ICAO database.

The thing is however that there are relatively few planes, and they are rather uniquely identified by their tail number and model.

And Musk’s plane seems to be a rather rate model, which basically makes his whole PIA a bit like swapping registration plates on a luxury limousine that is unique in town, usually drives the same route… and being angry on people recognizing you!
