CREDITSEC
Abstract / Bio
CREDITSEC - Next Generation Credit Card Security and provides the whole context to understand the basic concept behind developing a Next Generation Credit Card Security helping the companies better and securely mange credit card number and prevent misuse even if the Credit card numbers are stolen from the database.
CREDITSEC is the ultimate credit card security mechanism that stores the credit card numbers in an human unreadable form and making it impossible for the attackers and hackers to get the credit card numbers even if the database is compromised.
The basic principle does not uses any sort of encryption or decryption or any other mechanism to store the credit card numbers in the database in human unreadable form. The security mechanism does not uses any sort of encryption keys or hidden values to get the human unreadable output that would be stored in the database
Rahul Tyagi is a Masters of Science(Information Security) student at Johns Hopkins University - Information Security Institute and will be graduating in December 2011.
WarezJoe and Megalos
I'm piss drunk!.... Wait.... Is that a Cop behind me?
Abstract / Bio
This talk will take a sobering look behind the process, techniques and technology (or lack thereof) used by law enforcement to identify suspected intoxication. For this presentation we will have a professionally trained officer and an inebriated drunkard (likely more than one being that it's PumpCon) walking through the steps that a typical law enforcement officer would follow to determine sobriety.
The technology and instruments used by law enforcement for determining sobriety has changed little over the years. We will take a closer look at the most common techniques and equipment used including the Breathalyzer, Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) and the instruction led Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST). We'll discuss how each of these processes work and enumerate potential flaws or tactics one could use to their advantage. Warezjoe: Frequent presenter for cons and conferences, but let's be honest, you really don't care. If for some reason you do care Google is your friend!
Megalos: Megalos is an (RF) god with untold years working with radio and communications equipment. When not performing "waste management" and protecting the streets he is typically hardware hacking, picking locks or experimenting shady communication devices.
Timothy Lyons
Network Security and Threat Forecasting
Abstract / Bio
A theory that advances the idea of a completely learning, and evolving network firewall through the manipulation of artificial intelligence and actuarial science. It asserts that there can be improved results by allowing packet analyses to occur in real time, and allow the alteration and control of network protocols based on algorithms and data collected. In addition to the discussion of the theory, a discussion of the testing that is currently occurring as well as future test plans.
Timothy Lyons is either single, married, widowed, or divorced, probably likes pegging and may or may not be a homosexual vegan with a fetish for 12 year old boys dressed up to look like 13 year old girls. All we know for sure is that he is probably should have included a Bio with his abstract.
Quadling:
The failure of security
Abstract / Bio
We are awesome at our jobs. So why is security still so weak? I dare you, go ahead and say "Users!!!" You're wrong. It's us. Let me explain why. We don't know how to sell. "But I'm not a Salesman!!!" WRONG! This will be a rant. Not like everybody else's rant, but yeah, a rant. Shmooballs welcome.
Law-Talking-Guy
Selling Failure
Abstract / Bio
Enterprise Resource Planning systems are often sold with the hope and promise of lower costs, better customer relationships and reduced risk. Every rollout has glitches. Some cause serious headaches. This talk will discuss the ones that become so messy they end in multimillion dollar lawsuits. This talk was originally accepted for a more reputable 'con until I realized that I'd be crazy to give it unless I was drunk.
