ZTaint-Havoc: from Havoc Mode to Zero-Execution Fuzzing-Driven Taint Inference

Fuzzing is a widely used technique for discovering software vulnerabilities, but identifying hot bytes that influence program behavior remains challenging. Traditional taint analysis can track such bytes white-box, but suffers from scalability issue. Fuzzing-Driven Taint Inference FTI offers a...

NanoZone: Scalable, Efficient, and Secure Memory Protection for Arm CCA

Arm Confidential Computing Architecture CCA currently isolates at the granularity of an entire Confidential Virtual Machine CVM, leaving intra-VM bugs such as Heartbleed unmitigated. The state-of-the-art narrows this to the process level, yet still cannot stop attacks that pivot within the same...

ARIANNA: an Automatic Design Flow for Fabric Customization and EFPGA Redaction

In the modern global Integrated Circuit IC supply chain, protecting intellectual property IP is a complex challenge, and balancing IP loss risk and added cost for theft countermeasures is hard to achieve. Using embedded configurable logic allows designers to completely hide the functionality of...

Safety Alignment Can Be Not Superficial with Explicit Safety Signals

Recent studies on the safety alignment of large language models LLMs have revealed that existing approaches often operate superficially, leaving models vulnerable to various adversarial attacks. Despite their significance, these studies generally fail to offer actionable solutions beyond data...

Shill Bidding Prevention in Decentralized Auctions Using Smart Contracts

In online auctions, fraudulent behaviors such as shill bidding pose significant risks. This paper presents a conceptual framework that applies dynamic, behavior-based penalties to deter auction fraud using blockchain smart contracts. Unlike traditional post-auction detection methods, this approac...

Compact and Selective Disclosure for Verifiable Credentials

Self-Sovereign Identity SSI is a novel identity model that empowers individuals with full control over their data, enabling them to choose what information to disclose, with whom, and when. This paradigm is rapidly gaining traction worldwide, supported by numerous initiatives such as the European...

Zero-Trust Mobility-Aware Authentication Framework for Secure Vehicular Fog Computing Networks

Vehicular Fog Computing VFC is a promising paradigm to meet the low-latency and high-bandwidth demands of Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS. However, dynamic vehicle mobility and diverse trust boundaries introduce critical security challenges. This paper presents a novel Zero-Trust...

When Mitigations Backfire: Timing Channel Attacks and Defense for PRAC-Based RowHammer Mitigations

Per Row Activation Counting PRAC has emerged as a robust framework for mitigating RowHammer RH vulnerabilities in modern DRAM systems. However, we uncover a critical vulnerability: a timing channel introduced by the Alert Back-Off ABO protocol and Refresh Management RFM commands. We present...

Privacy-Preserving Runtime Verification

Runtime verification offers scalable solutions to improve the safety and reliability of systems. However, systems that require verification or monitoring by a third party to ensure compliance with a specification might contain sensitive information, causing privacy concerns when usual runtime...

Area Comparison of CHERIoT and PMP in Ibex

Memory safety is a critical concern for modern embedded systems, particularly in security-sensitive applications. This paper explores the area impact of adding memory safety extensions to the Ibex RISC-V core, focusing on physical memory protection PMP and Capability Hardware Extension to RISC-V...

Assessing the Latency of Network Layer Security in 5G Networks

In contrast to its predecessors, 5G supports a wide range of commercial, industrial, and critical infrastructure scenarios. One key feature of 5G, ultra-reliable low latency communication, is particularly appealing to such scenarios for its real-time capabilities. However, 5G's enhanced security,...

HoneyBee: Efficient Role-Based Access Control for Vector Databases Via Dynamic Partitioning

As vector databases gain traction in enterprise applications, robust access control has become critical to safeguard sensitive data. Access control in these systems is often implemented through hybrid vector queries, which combine nearest neighbor search on vector data with relational predicates...

RevealNet: Distributed Traffic Correlation for Attack Attribution on Programmable Networks

Network attackers have increasingly resorted to proxy chains, VPNs, and anonymity networks to conceal their activities. To tackle this issue, past research has explored the applicability of traffic correlation techniques to perform attack attribution, i.e., to identify an attacker's true network...

Resource Reduction in Multiparty Quantum Secret Sharing of Both Classical and Quantum Information under Noisy Scenario

Quantum secret sharing QSS enables secure distribution of information among multiple parties but remains vulnerable to noise. We analyze the effects of bit-flip, phase-flip, and amplitude damping noise on the multiparty QSS for classical message QSSCM and secret sharing of quantum information SSQ...

The Evolution of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) from Concept to Implementation

Zero Trust Architecture ZTA is one of the paradigm changes in cybersecurity, from the traditional perimeter-based model to perimeterless. This article studies the core concepts of ZTA, its beginning, a few use cases and future trends. Emphasising the always verify and least privilege access, some...
