WSC 2018
Our paper, A Simulation Testbed for the Analysis of Desired Emergent Properties in System Running in Dynamic and Contested Environments, has been accepted for publication in the Winter Simulation Conference 2018. Authors: C. Szabo, D. Craggs, W. Johnson, G. Judd, K. French Abstract: Designing complex systems with a specific emergent property is challenging even in […]
ALife 2018
Our paper, Multi-objective Strategies for Exploring Form and Function in Crustaceans, has been accepted for publication in ALife 2018. Authors: C. Szabo, J. Barnes, P. Munguia Abstract: In biology, there is a direct and dynamic relationship between an individual’s \textit{form}, in terms of shape, size, number and connection of limbs, and the functions that the […]
ACSAC 2016: Amplifying Side Channels Through Performance Degradation
In this work, accepted to ACSAC 2016, we show that an adversary can amplify a side channel leakage from a victim by slowing the victim down. We apply the technique against a victim that uses the Bitcoin elliptic curve and show that we need to observe only 6 signatures to completely break the private key. The […]

CCS 2016: ECDSA Key Extraction from Mobile Devices via Nonintrusive Physical Side Channels
Working with researchers from the Technion and from Tel Aviv University, we show that undesired electromagnetic emanations from mobile phones allow adversaries to steal cryptographic keys from the phone. The work has been accepted to CCS 2016. D. Genkin, L. Pachmanov, I. Pipman, E. Tromer and Y. Yarom, ECDSA Key Extraction from Mobile Devices via […]

CCS 2016: “Make Sure DSA Signing Exponentiations Really are Constant-Time”
Our joint work with researchers from the Tampere University of Technology on a weakness in OpenSSL has been accepted to CCS 2016. C. Pereida García, B. B. Brumley and Y. Yarom, “Make Sure DSA Signing Exponentiations Really are Constant-Time”, Abstract: TLS and SSH are two of the most commonly used protocols for securing Internet traffic. Many of the implementations of […]

CDIT Presenting in CHES 2016
Next week CDIT is presenting two papers and a tutorial in CHES 2016. The papers are: L. Groot Bruinderink, A. Hülsing, T. Lange and Y. Yarom, Flush, Gauss, and Reload – A Cache Attack on the BLISS Lattice-Based Signature Scheme. We present the first side-channel attack on a lattice-based signature scheme, using the FLUSH+RELOAD cache-attack. The […]
HPCA 2016: CATalyst: Defeating Last-Level Cache Side Channel Attacks in Cloud Computing
Working with colleagues from Princeton University, NICTA and Intel we show how to use the Intel Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) to provide protection from cache-based side-channel attacks. CAT is a hardware cache-partitioning mechanism for enforcing quality of service with respect to cache occupancy. However due to the small number of partitions it cannot be used […]

SoSym: Model-driven Performance Prediction of Systems of Systems
An update on our MEDEA model-driven engineering environment supporting early performance prediction of Systems of Systems has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Software and Systems Modeling. The MEDEA system is an outcome of our long standing collaboration with DST Group, and colleagues at the University of Pau. K. Falkner, C. Szabo, V. […]

ASWEC 2015: A case study in agility and evolving the long-lived software system
DSTO colleague, Shannon Felhmann has had the results of his Masters coursework thesis work accepted for publication at the ASWEC conference. Shannon’s work explores a case study at DSTO of agile software development techniques and applies data analysis to software repositories to understand how software development practices have changed over time. A case study in […]
