Automated hardening of systems your way.
So you are a sysadmin responsible for a server, and you have to be sure that the system is hardened in some particular and maybe non-standard way. Then, meet your best friend - the project of the ComplianceAsCode initiative.
It features checks and hardening snippets in Ansible, Bash and SCAP-compliant formats, so you can use automation to determine the system's state and to keep the system hardened. Discover the smart way of system hardening - learn how to leverage the project:
  • Extend it - write your custom rules,
  • tailor existing rules to exactly suit your needs,
  • compose rules into your security profiles that you can use to audit your system against, and
  • test your custom content for robustness.
For the best interactive experience, bring a laptop with
  • these packages installed: git, Ansible, openscap and Python with the pytest, jinja2 and PyYAML Python packages.
  • the ComplianceAsCode/content repository cloned (or updated to it's current master branch).
  • the ComplianceAsCode/demo repository cloned. Check out it's README for useful tips and tricks for the workshop!
  • libvirt-powered Fedora VM, where the root user accepts your unlocked/passwordless SSH key (this is needed only to run tests).

Why you shouldn't write crypto functions yourself
Writing cryptographic functions is not hard, you do not even need to understand the math behind the cryptographic primitive you want to implement to be able to construct a set of cunctions that correctly encrypts and decrypts ciphertext.
So why cryptographers keep saying you should not implement your own crypto ?
In this talk we'll show practical examples that explain why implementing a mathematical function correctly is only the easy part of the job, and where the devil in the detail lies. We'll also show how even thought through implementations sometimes can be attacked, and how they evolve over time.

Genral understanding of how modern CPUs work is useful to better understand the more technical parts. Knowledge of a programming language is highly recommended.

Russian GOST cryptography in and near OpenSSL
There is a necessity to provide national cryptography in various applications. The presentation describes history, current state and future of Russian GOST support in OpenSSL and OpenSSL-based applications.

Russian GOST support in OpenSSL is divided between modifications of OpenSSL itself and the engine (https://github.com/gost-engine/engine) implementing the low-level cryptographic primitives. The presentation describes the edge cases of using externally provided algorithms, problems of support of the national specifics in OpenSSL and adopting applications and standards to support national cryptography.

The presentation contains history of the universal API for asymmetric cryptography in OpenSSL and provides some ideas about possible API development to make it more flexible.

TLS 1.3: what developers should know about the API
Major crypto libraries have adopted TLS 1.3 since its final publication in last August. Those libraries are carefully designed so applications can switch to the new protocol with minimal code modification. However, as TLS 1.3 also brings new features, such as post-handshake authentication and 0-RTT, applications need to use new API to take full advantage of the protocol.

In this presentation, we will go through the new API functions added for TLS 1.3 in multiple crypto libraries, see pros and cons of their design choices, and discuss the best practice in using those new functions.

Applications of TPM 2.0
Now that a complete TPM 2.0 infrastructure has been delivered in Linux, the focus is moving to building applications that benefit from TPM security. This session will cover the initial application of TPM in NBDE and explore other applications that can be built with TPM. Topics include protecting secrets with the TPM, measurement of the system and using system information to seal secrets, Trusted Boot, TPM signing of software patchesand protection of Edge systems. We will also address the use of trusted processing enclaves and complete system protection using TPM with trusted processing enclaves. Bonus topic: TPM secured Blockchains!

Minting and collecting SWID tags
What software is installed on machine X?

With new ways of distributing software like container images or web applications in various formats, trusted packaging tools and formats like rpm, deb, or pacman no longer provide complete answer to this simple question. That in turn makes it harder to scan for vulnerabilities, or prevents even basic software accounting.

We will look at SWID, 2015 standard for software identification that might be bringing a solution. We will explore the schema, some SWID tags, tools and content, and share preliminary results of quest for best practices, for turning the standard into useful mechanism for admins, security personnel, or software maintainers. Think about examples of convoluted deployment and come to find out if SWID can bring some order to the chaos.

Migrating a Linux environment to IDM
As you would expect, Red Hat IT manages lots of Linux systems. This talk will discuss how we are slowly and methodically migrating them from classical LDAP and MIT Kerberos info and authentication backends to using IDM and sssd.

Benefits of the move will be shared and so will some of the lessons learned.

System-wide crypto policies what and why
System-wide crypto policies are a fairly new thing in Fedora. In this talk I will introduce them and show the reasons why system-wide crypto policies are needed.
Then we look at them in more details - which are the currently provided policy levels, which core crypto components follow the policy, and how the policies are implemented.
I will also provide overview of what is in works and what are the future plans with the system-wide crypto policies features.
The attendants of the talk should have some basic knowledge of cryptography algorithms and secure protocols from the user's point of view.

Using SELinux with container runtimes
This talk will explain how SELinux works with containers. We will show how to enable/disable SElinux using multiple different container runtimes and define the default types. The two default types for running containers are container_t which is a fully confined domain, which eliminates any use of the host files unless they are relabeled. Or spc_t, which is the type containers run with when SELinux is disabled for container separation, --privileged mode. Writing custom policy for each container that needed additional access would be very difficult and require a container policy writer. Lukas built a new standalone tool, udica for generating SELinux policy profiles for containers based on automatic inspecting these containers. Come to see how easy you can create own policy for container!

Scale Your Auditing Events
The Linux Audit daemon is responsible for writing audit records to the disk, which you can then access with ausearch and aureport. However, it turned out that parsing and centralizing these records is not as easy as you would hope. Elastic's new Auditbeat fixes this by keeping the original configuration, but ships them to a centralized location where you can easily visualize all events. You can also use Auditbeat to detect changes to critical files, like binaries and configuration files, and identify potential security policy violations. This talk shows you what can you do to discover changes, events, and potential security breaches as soon as possible on interactive dashboards. Additionally, we are combining Auditd events with logs, which are security relevant.
