With approaches dating back to the 20th century, the idea of a TPM is simple: An
isolated, constrained environment to offload trust establishment in a larger
computing environment. That implies cryptography, firmware, hardware, and per
application, different requirements. This talk elaborates on how the seemingly
simple concept has been expanded over the years, enumerating implementations in
hardware, firmware, other layers of software, and even web browsers, explaining
why it is in fact far more complex than anticipated by looking at contemporary
use-cases, ending up with a discussion around the controversy about Microsoft
mandating presence of a TPM in order to run Windows 11.

Over the last two years our team has been working on the Pocket Science Lab. While we were connecting with each other online for years the Corona crisis posed a new challenge to us: Chip and component shortages. In this panel we will share our story of how we are tackling this problem and our ideas on how to move forward with local production to solve global delivery issues and reduce the carbon footprint of shipping.

Die Industrie hat hoch automatisierte Prozesse zur Produktion von Elektronik. Wie aber kann der Ansatz des automatisierten De-Assemblements am Ende des Produktlebens funktionieren? Was ist dafür notwendig? Das besprechen wir in dieser Session.

Nach etwas mehr als zehn Jahren Entwicklungszeit der Befehlssatzarchitektur sind mittlerweile die ersten günstigen
RISC-V Einplatinenrechner verfügbar. Was
man damit bereits machen kann, wie man dort Linux und
andere Betriebssysteme ans Laufen bringt durch modernen Code in der
Programmiersprache Rust und welche spannenden
Projekte drum herum entstanden sind, skizziert dieser Kurzvortrag.
