However, fixes for vulnerabilities are usually discussed privately among a small group of trusted maintainers, and integrated without prior public involvement. This is supposed to prevent early disclosure, and cope with embargo and non-disclosure agreement (NDA) rules. While regular development activities leave publicly available traces, fixes for vulnerabilities that bypass the standard process do not. We present a data-mining based approach to detect code fragments that arise from such infringements of the standard process. By systematically mapping public development artefacts to source code repositories, we can exclude regular process activities, and infer irregularities that stem from non-public integration channels. For the Linux kernel, the most crucial component of many systems, we apply our method to a period of seven months before the release of Linux 5.4. We find 29 commits that address 12 vulnerabilities. For these vulnerabilities, our approach provides a temporal advantage of 2 to 179 days to design exploits before public disclosure takes place, and fixes are rolled out. Established responsible disclosure approaches in open development processes are supposed to limit premature visibility of security vulnerabilities. However, our approach shows that, instead, they open additional possibilities to uncover such changes that thwart the very premise. We conclude by discussing implications and partial countermeasures.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HayakawaAlFaloujiSchickhuberetal., author = {Hayakawa, Shuhei and Al-Falouji, Ghassan and Schickhuber, Gerald and Mandl, Roland and Yoshida, Takahiro and Hangai, Seiichiro}, title = {A Method of Toothbrush Position Measurement using AR Markers}, series = {2020 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Life Sciences and Technologies (LifeTech): 10-12 March 2020, Kyoto, Japan}, booktitle = {2020 IEEE 2nd Global Conference on Life Sciences and Technologies (LifeTech): 10-12 March 2020, Kyoto, Japan}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/LifeTech48969.2020.1570619103}, pages = {91 -- 93}, abstract = {Appropriate daily brushing of the teeth is important for preventing oral diseases.

This makes it really difficult to find the right kind of scientific publication for the intended category of IoT. Conferences and other events for IoT are confusing about the target group (consumer, enterprise, industrial, etc.) and standardisation organisations suffer from the same problem. To demonstrate these problems, this paper shows the results of an analyses over IoT publications in different research libraries. The number of results for IoT, consumer, enterprise and industrial search queries were evaluated and a manual study about 100 publications was done. According to the research library or search engine, different results about the distribution of consumer-, enterprise- and industrial- IoT are visible. The comparison with the results of the manual evaluation shows that some search queries do not show all desired publications or that considerably more, unwanted results are returned. Most researchers do not use the keywords right and the exact category of IoT can only be accessed via the abstract. This shows major problems with the use of the term IoT and its minor limitations.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{GoeppelFrikelHaltmeier, author = {G{\"o}ppel, Simon and Frikel, J{\"u}rgen and Haltmeier, Markus}, title = {A complementary ℓ1 -TV reconstruction algorithm for limited data CT}, abstract = {In a variety of tomographic applications, data cannot be fully acquired, leading to severely underdetermined image reconstruction. Conventional methods result in reconstructions with significant artifacts. In order to remove these artifacts, regularization methods have to be applied that incorporate additional information. An important example is TV reconstruction which is well known to efficiently compensate for missing data and well reduces reconstruction artifacts. At the same time, however, tomographic data is also contaminated by noise, which poses an additional challenge. The use of a single regularizer within a variational regularization framework must therefore account for both the missing data and the noise. However, a single regularizer may not be ideal for both tasks. For example, the TV regularizer is a poor choice for noise reduction over different scales, in which case ℓ1 curvelet regularization methods work well. To address this issue, in this paper we introduce a novel variational regularization framework that combines the advantages of two different regularizers. The basic idea of our framework is to perform reconstruction in two stages, where the first stage mainly aims at accurate reconstruction in the presence of noise, and the second stage aims at artifact reduction. Both reconstruction stages are connected by a data proximity condition. The proposed method is implemented and tested for limited-view CT using a combined curvelet-TV approach. We define and implement a curvelet transform adapted to the limited view problem and demonstrate the advantages of our approach in a series of numerical experiments in this context.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BorgSauerJorgensenFrikeletal., author = {Borg, Leise and Sauer J{\o}rgensen, Jakob and Frikel, J{\"u}rgen and Todd Quinto, Eric and Sporring, Jon}, title = {Reducing artifacts from varying projection truncations}, series = {3rd International Conference on Tomography of Materials and Structures Lund, Sweden, 26-30 June 2017, ICTMS2017-65-1}, booktitle = {3rd International Conference on Tomography of Materials and Structures Lund, Sweden, 26-30 June 2017, ICTMS2017-65-1}, abstract = {We study samples with full and partial occlusion causing streak artifacts, and propose two mod-ifications of filtered backprojection for artifact removal.
