Fausto SpotoThe Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), released the “OWASP Top 10 Internet of Things 2018” list of the high-priority security vulnerabilities for IoT systems. The diversity of these vulnerabilities poses a great challenge toward development of a robust solution for their detection and mitigation. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between these vulnerabilities and the ones listed by OWASP Top 10 (focused on Web applications rather than IoT systems), how these vulnerabilities can actually be exploited, and in which cases static analysis can help in preventing them. Then, we present an extension of an industrial analyzer (Julia) that already covers five out of the top seven vulnerabilities of OWASP Top 10, and we discuss which IoT Top 10 vulnerabilities might be detected by the existing analyses or their extension. The experimental results present the application of some existing Julia’s analyses and their extension to IoT systems, showing its effectiveness of the analysis of some representative case studies.

Conference Paper
The abstract domain Prop for analyzing variable groundness in logic programs is considered. This domain consists of (equivalence classes of) propositional formulas whose propositional variables correspond to program variables with truth assignments indicating which program variables are ground. Some ambiguity remains about precisely which formula should be included in Prop so that all interesting sets of program execution states (substitutions) have a unique representation. This ambiguity is clarified by characterizing, both semantically and syntactically, the appropriate definition of Prop. The use of propositional formulas for representing properties of substitutions of a different type than groundness, such as freeness and independence of variables, is discussed.

Giulia CostantiniJuliaSoft SRL FerraraThe aim of this paper is to provide a general overview of the product operators introduced in the literature as a tool to enhance the analysis accuracy in the Abstract Interpretation framework. In particular we focus on the Cartesian and reduced products, as well as on the reduced cardinal power, an under-used technique whose features deserve to be stressed for their potential impact in practical applications.Comment: In Proceedings Festschrift for Dave Schmidt, arXiv:1309.455
About Me
I was born in Padova on January 11, 1963. After graduating in Mathematics in 1986, I got a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Informatics from the University of Padova. I spent a post-doc at Brown University in 1992/93. In 1994, I got a position as Assistant Professor at Ca' Foscari University in Venice. In 1998 I was promoted to Associate Professor, and in 2002 I was promoted to Full Professor. In the recent past, I served as Dean of the Computer Science programme, and as Department Chair. I also served for 8 years as Vice-Rector of Ca' Foscari University, taking care of quality assessment and institutional affairs.
My main research interests concern programming languages theory and static analysis techniques, with particular emphasis on security applications. I published more than 150 papers in high level international journals and proceedings of international conferences. My current h-index is 20 according to Scopus, and 28 according to Google Scholar. I serve as co-Editor in Chief of the book series "Services and Business Process Reengineering" edited by Springer-Nature.
