Demystifying DRAM Read Disturbance: Bridging the Gap between Experimental Characterization and Device-Level Modeling of RowHammer and RowPress Phenomena

DRAM read disturbance, like RowHammer and RowPress, is a critical robustness issue where accessing DRAM can cause unintended bitflips in other unaccessed DRAM locations. DRAM read disturbance bitflips significantly impact the safe, secure, and reliable operation of DRAM-based computing systems...

ToolGuardian: Declarative Security for AI Agent-Tool Interactions

LLM agents increasingly rely on external tools, expanding capability while creating a new security boundary: third-party tools may appear benign at the interface level while embedding unsafe behavior in implementation. Existing defenses rely on weak metadata, collapse characterization and policy...

Security of Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution with Correlated Bit-And-Basis Encoders

Practical quantum key distribution QKD modulators inevitably introduce correlations, causing the state emitted in a given round to depend on the setting choices made in previous rounds. These correlations break the round-by-round independence structure on which many widely used security proof...

Hybrid Quantum-Classical Autoencoders for Unsupervised Network Intrusion Detection

Unsupervised anomaly-based intrusion detection requires models that can generalize to attack patterns not observed during training. This work presents the first large-scale evaluation of hybrid quantum-classical HQC autoencoders for this task. We construct a unified experimental framework that...

CVE-2025-12357

By manipulating the Signal Level Attenuation Characterization SLAC protocol with spoofed measurements, an attacker can stage a man-in-the-middle attack between an electric vehicle and chargers that comply with the ISO 15118-2 part. This vulnerability may be exploitable wirelessly, within close...

CVE-2025-12357 International Standards Organization ISO 15118-2 Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints

By manipulating the Signal Level Attenuation Characterization SLAC protocol with spoofed measurements, an attacker can stage a man-in-the-middle attack between an electric vehicle and chargers that comply with the ISO 15118-2 part. This vulnerability may be exploitable wirelessly, within close...

CVE-2025-12357

CVE-2025-12357 concerns the SLAC protocol used in ISO 15118-2-compliant EV charging systems. The Red Hat/NVD/EUVD entries describe that an attacker can manipulate SLAC measurements to perform a man-in-the-middle between an electric vehicle and the charging station, potentially enabling wireless M...

Incorporating Device Characterization into Security Proofs

Typical security proofs for quantum key distribution QKD rely on having some model for the devices, with the security guarantees implicitly relying on the values of various parameters of the model, such as dark count rates or detector efficiencies. Hence to deploy QKD in practice, we must establi...

Space Cybersecurity Testbed: Fidelity Framework, Example Implementation, and Characterization

Cyber threats against space infrastructures, including satellites and systems on the ground, have not been adequately understood. Testbeds are important to deepen our understanding and validate space cybersecurity studies. The state of the art is that there are very few studies on building...

Generalized and Unified Equivalences between Hardness and Pseudoentropy

Pseudoentropy characterizations provide a quantitatively precise demonstration of the close relationship between computational hardness and computational randomness. We prove a unified pseudoentropy characterization that generalizes and strengthens previous results for both uniform and non-unifor...

A Retrospective on DISPEED -- Leveraging Heterogeneity in a Drone Swarm for IDS Execution

Swarms of drones are gaining more and more autonomy and efficiency during their missions. However, security threats can disrupt their missions' progression. To overcome this problem, Network Intrusion Detection Systems NIDS are promising solutions to detect malicious behavior on network traffic...
