Application-Specific Power Side-Channel Attacks and Countermeasures: A Survey

Side-channel attacks try to extract secret information from a system by analyzing different side-channel signatures, such as power consumption, electromagnetic emanation, thermal dissipation, acoustics, time, etc. Power-based side-channel attack is one of the most prominent side-channel attacks i...

From Rookie to Expert: Manipulating LLMs for Automated Vulnerability Exploitation in Enterprise Software

LLMs democratize software engineering by enabling non-programmers to create applications, but this same accessibility fundamentally undermines security assumptions that have guided software engineering for decades. We show in this work how publicly available LLMs can be socially engineered to...

ReSMT: An SMT-Based Tool for Reverse Engineering

Software obfuscation techniques make code more difficult to understand, without changing its functionality. Such techniques are often used by authors of malicious software to avoid detection. Reverse Engineering of obfuscated code, i.e., the process of overcoming obfuscation and answering questio...
