HESI+10 Global Forum 

Role of higher education in building back better from COVID-19 and advancing the 2030 Agenda  

Register now here! 

The Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) is an open partnership between several United Nations entities and the higher education community launched in the run up to the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20 in 2012).  

Each year, HESI organizes a global forum as a special event to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) to highlight the critical role of higher education in achieving sustainable development.

This year, the HESI+10 Global Forum, held on 6 July 2022 as a virtual event, will place a particular focus on deepening the understanding of the challenges and opportunities the higher education community can play in building back better from the COVID-19 while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in line with the theme of HLPF in 2022. 

Three open webinars on topics related the theme of HLPF will be held in the lead-up to the forum. The output of the webinars will feed into the discussions of the forum.  

• Webinar 1: Transformation of higher education post COVID-19,
  27 April, 09 - 10.30 AM (EDT) 
• Webinar 2: Integrating Sustainable Development Goals into higher education,
  31 May, 09 - 10.30 AM (EDT) 
• Webinar 3: Inspirational higher education initiatives for SDG 4, 5, 14 and 15,
  21 June, 09 - 10.30 AM (EDT) 

The HESI+10 Global Forum and the webinars are open to all relevant stakeholders. 

Registration is now available here: https://forms.office.com/r/D3vH9sBBQp

Session Binding Proxy protocol aims to prevent session hijacking by binding the application session to the underlying network session

The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab presents

A Formal Methods Analysis of the Session Binding Proxy Protocol

Kirellos N. Abou Elsaad, UMBC

12-1 pm, Friday, 1 April 2022, via WebEx

Proposed by Burgers, Verdult, and Eekelen in 2013, the Session Binding Proxy (SBP) protocol intends to prevent session hijacking by binding the application session to the underlying network session (i.e., binding the session token to the SSL/TLS shared key). We present a formal methods analysis of SBP using the Cryptographic Protocol Shapes Analyzer (CPSA). Our analysis reveals that SBP relies critically on the successful establishment of a secure SSL/TLS channel, which can be undermined using well-known attacks. Also, we find that SBP allows for the partial hijacking of a session using a tailgating attack. In this attack, the adversary uses the server to inject and execute malicious code inside the client’s browser to extract the session token and forge a valid state-changing request to the server. This attack is not neutralized by SBP because the request contains a valid session token and is sent over the client’s existing SSL/TLS channel.

Host: Alan T. Sherman, *protected email* Support for this event was provided in part by the National Science Foundation under SFS grant DGE-1753681. The UMBC Cyber Defense Lab meets biweekly Fridays 12-1 pm. All meetings are open to the public. Upcoming CDL Meetings: April 15, Edward Zieglar (NSA); April 29, Ian Blumenfeld (UMBC); May 13, Enka Blanchard (Digitrust Loria, France).
