CROSSING paper presents new system for reducing exploit stockpiles

A new paper from the research groups ENCRYPTO and PEASEC at TU Darmstadt proposes a privacy-preserving approach that allows state actors to compare exploit stockpiles without revealing national secrets. The method can provide a practical approach to cyber arms control and promote cyber security for civilians, as identified exploits that are known to multiple states can potentially be disclosed to be fixed. The paper has now been published in IEEE Transactions on Technology and Society and also received the CROSSING Collaboration Award 2022.

Accelerator program SpeedUpSecure supports startups in the field of cybersecurity, providing intensive training and access to industry experts.

Team von Prof. Sadeghi umgeht Chip-Schutzmechanismen mit neuartigen Glitching-Angriffen

Forschende am System Security Lab von CROSSING-PI Professor Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi an der TU Darmstadt haben neuartige Glitching-Angriffe auf eingebetteten Prozessoren mit Sicherheitserweiterungen ausgeführt und damit die Schutzmechanismen der „TrustZone-M“ Chips aushebeln können. Durch derartige Angriffe könnten zum Beispiel kryptografische Schlüssel entwendet oder ersetzt werden.
