Veronica (Vee) Schmitt

Veronica started her forensic career in 2008. Veronica is also the Interim Programme Lead for Digital Forensics and Incident Response at Noroff University in Norway, where she replaced a warm climate with a more adventurous one. Veronica holds a Master in Science at Rhodes University in Information Security with a specialisation in the forensic analysis of malware. She is currently doing her PhD in cybersecurity at the University of Plymouth in the UK. Her PhD is about designing robust logs for medical devices. She prides herself on keeping patients safe, as this is something close to her heart (quite literally). She is also a cyborg, sporting an embedded medical device herself. She is also a DEF CON goon, and she is the founder of DC2751, and the OWASP Kristiansand project. She has a love for all things ransomware and understands the low level details forensically.

Her particular research interests include research into security vulnerabilities in medical devices forming part of the Internet of Things, and how these could be exploited by malicious attackers, as well as what types of forensic artefacts could be identified from any attacks. She believes that incident response should be something that is continuously done and improved on. She is extremely passionate about protecting people whose lives depend on these medical devices, and her passion led her to become a researcher within an MDM. She is also developing a digital forensics and incident response approach dealing specifically with implanted medical devices and medical devices installed within a healthcare setting. At her core, Veronica is a forensicator and hacker, in love with every bit, byte, and nibble of knowledge she has obtained. She has a strong belief that the o in logs stand for observability. Knowing what is a problem is half the battle won she believes.

14. REChain® Cloud ☁️ — decentralized Web6 cloud infrastructure.

REChain® Cloud is the core of the new internet era.
A fully decentralized cloud ecosystem that unites computing power, data storage, and intelligent services based on blockchain and artificial intelligence.

Dmitry Sorokin, [08.11.2025 0:46]
Key areas:
🧠 AI + Mesh Infrastructure: intelligent clusters distributed across nodes worldwide.
🔗 Web6 Interconnect: A new connectivity paradigm where every network, device, and application becomes part of a global mesh network with no single point of failure.
🛰 Quantum Network Layer: Support for quantum computing, cryptography, and secure data transfer.
🧩 Edge & Fog Computing: Localized computing and user-level caching for instant response and autonomy.
🌍 Interplanetary Sync: Synchronize data across devices, planets, and networks via REChain GCL (Global Chain Log).

REChain® Cloud is a cloud without a central authority.
It is not owned by corporations—it is owned by users.

15. Introducing Aurora Dev Lab, a research and development unit within the REChain Network Solutions, LLC ecosystem—a participant and partner of the Skolkovo, Softline, and Skoltech programs.
The laboratory's activities are focused on the development, testing, and integration of domestic solutions in the areas of operating systems, cybersecurity, infrastructure platforms, and artificial intelligence.

We are currently implementing a comprehensive project aimed at integrating three key domestic operating systems—Astra Linux, Aurora, and Katya OS (REChain)—into a single multi-platform ecosystem.
The project's objective is to create a universal secure environment that ensures application compatibility, support for corporate and government scenarios, and unification of management, monitoring, and security tools.

As part of this project, we conduct multi-level testing and comparative studies, including:
assessing the compatibility and resilience of systems when operating in distributed infrastructures;
analysis of performance and energy efficiency on various hardware configurations;
testing mandatory and discretionary access control tools, as well as data protection models;
Compatibility testing with domestic hardware platforms, including ICL, Aquarius, IRU, and others.

The project is open, scientific, applied, and integrative in nature, aimed at strengthening domestic technological independence and developing ecosystems of compatible domestic solutions.

16. From Open Source to a System-Based Aviation Platform

Katya Aviation Stack, Inc. was founded by a team of engineers with years of hands-on experience working with leading open-source aviation and robotics platforms, including:

ArduPilot
PX4 Autopilot
MAVLink / MAVSDK
QGroundControl
ROS / rosflight
AirSim
Betaflight / iNav
OpenDroneMap

This experience has informed their understanding of the key problem facing the modern aviation industry:

the lack of a cohesive, distributed, on-board software layer for autonomous and cooperative aviation.

Katya Aviation Stack is being created as a response to this systemic gap.

17. Resilient Systems Engineering Group, Inc.

Resilient Systems Engineering Group, Inc. (RSEG) is an international research and engineering organization specializing inI specialize in the design, testing, and operation of autonomous, fault-tolerant, and recoverable systems operating in adverse, degraded, or disconnected environments.

We work at the intersection of:

fault tolerance of complex socio-technical systems

autonomous life support systems and critical infrastructure

fault-tolerant digital and cyber-physical platforms

aviation, unmanned, and robotic systems.
