Big thanks to the organizers and everyone involved!

It was a great conference, filled with inspiring keynotes and talks. I've also come away with many wonderful new connections. A definite highlight was the social event at Sea World! Networking alongside dolphins, seals, and rollercoasters is certainly a unique experience 🐬🎢

Leakages from ciphertext side-channels or silent store suppression can leak secrets even from constant-time code. We show how Zebrafix stops this by adding freshness to memory writes through interleaving.

Just back from RAID 2025 (International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses) on the Gold Coast! 🇦🇺

I had the opportunity to present our paper, Zebrafix: Mitigating Memory-Centric Side-Channel Leakage via Interleaving (with @j4nw.bsky.social and @tom-crypt.bsky.social) 🦓

The EU wants to spend your money to assemble a giant mass surveillance machine with little effect on harm against children. Chat Control is not effective, weakens security for all and does not respect privacy. Contact your EU representatives and let them know.

🪩 girls just wanna have funding for their research projects 🪩

#CASA #WISC25

The discussions and presentations were really inspiring, and it was valuable to exchange ideas with so many brilliant researchers. A big thank you to the organizers for putting together such a well-run event! Looking forward to the next edition 😊

Had a great time at the 1st uASC (Microarchitecture Security Conference) last week. I also had the opportunity to give a talk on software-based mitigations against memory-centric side-channels, and I appreciate the insightful questions and feedback.

#uASC

This week I gave a talk at first #uASC conference about SSDs and why they will not #rowhammer your computer in the foreseeable future.
Don't forget to join next year! uasc.cc

Just gave a keynote at #Ruhrsec about threat models, Side channels, fault attacks, how the evolve and how we should approach them...

#BadRAM just went public: Tampering with DRAM modules allows attackers to bypass SEV-SNP's write protection and forging attestation reports, breaking all trust in #SEV-SNP.
Joint work with Jesse De Meulemeester, Luca Wilke, @sublevado.bsky.social, Ingrid Verbauwhede and Jo Van Bulck
