GenioSim: A Novel Simulation Platform for Edge Computing over Optical Networks
Carmine Cesarano, Alessio Foggia, Roberto Natella
The convergence of Passive Optical Networks (PONs) and edge computing creates new opportunities: Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) can be repurpose…
FuzzBox: Blending Fuzzing into Emulation for Binary-Only Embedded Targets
Carmine Cesarano, Roberto Natella
Coverage-guided fuzzing has been widely applied to address zero-day vulnerabilities in general-purpose software and operating systems. This approach relies on instrumenting the tar…
GoLeash: Mitigating Golang Software Supply Chain Attacks with Runtime Policy Enforcement
Carmine Cesarano, Martin Monperrus, Roberto Natella
Modern software supply chain attacks consist of introducing new, malicious capabilities into trusted third-party software components, in order to propagate to a victim through a pa…
Security-by-Design at the Telco Edge with OSS: Challenges and Lessons Learned
Carmine Cesarano, Alessio Foggia, Gianluca Roscigno +2
This paper presents our experience, in the context of an industrial R&D project, on securing GENIO, a platform for edge computing on Passive Optical Network (PON) infrastructures,…
KubeFence: Security Hardening of the Kubernetes Attack Surface
Carmine Cesarano, Roberto Natella
Kubernetes (K8s) is widely used to orchestrate containerized applications, including critical services in domains such as finance, healthcare, and government. However, its extensiv…
GENIO: Synergizing Edge Computing with Optical Network Infrastructures
Carmine Cesarano, Alessio Foggia, Gianluca Roscigno +2
Edge computing has emerged as a paradigm to bring low-latency and bandwidth-intensive applications close to end-users. However, edge computing platforms still face challenges relat…
