Lucas Rooyakkers
Lucas Rooyakkers currently researches covert communications at Royal Military College, and is a red teamer at GGR Security. Formerly a software engineer for a satellite Internet company (not Elon's) and a signaller in the military, Lucas has written code for several low Earth orbit satellites whizzing above your head in space, and for open-source projects. When not procrastinating thesis writing, he can often be found with an SDR trying to bypass some security system or other. Lucas also speaks Esperanto.
Sessions
A butterfly flaps its wings and alerts the agents their cover has been blown. Undetectable communications let you talk freely with your friends while preventing everyone else from knowing if you even transmitted. Covert communications systems approach privacy and security from an entirely different angle than standard encryption techniques do. How is this possible? What is chaos exactly, and how does it differ from randomness? This whirlwind presentation will cover exactly how chaotic functions can bury a signal so deep in the noise floor that your transmissions become merely a whisper on the wind. There's a 100 percent money-back guarantee this talk will discuss chaos communications schemes (unlike a certain unnamed German hacker conference) and compare their merits. Learn all about how you can inject a little more chaos into your life today!
