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.

Event co-organized by CROSSING PI professor Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi

On November 4th, CROSSING PI professor Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi co-organized the Workshop on Sustainable Hardware Security (SUSHI) co-located with ICCAD'22 in San Diego, USA. Main goal of the workshop was to explore new ideas and research directions for tackling the challenges related to security-by-design for hardware, scalable assurance methodologies for hardware security and resilience, and security-aware electronic design automation that pave the way for establishing sustainable security for computing platforms. The invite-only workshop was supported by CROSSING.

CROSSING-PI Prof. Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi as expert advisor on distributed machine learning

Machine learning systems are increasingly being integrated in many processes of our society and economy. For example, machine learning algorithms take on important functions in driverless vehicles or digital healthcare. In these areas of application, AI systems must not only make reliable predictions, but also resist attacks and manipulation to ensure privacy of sometimes sensitive data as well as maintain trust in the technology.

Symposium will be held from August 9–11, 2023

CROSSING-PI professor Sebastian Faust receives ERC grant funding for cryptography project

The European Research Council (ERC) is providing around two million euros of funding for a project at the Technical University of Darmstadt that aims to improve decentralised blockchain technologies. The project “CRYPTOLAYER – Cryptography for Second Layer Blockchain Protocols” by CROSSING-PI professor Sebastian Faust is being supported with a renowned ERC Consolidator Grant for a term of five years. This will further strengthen TU Darmstadt's activities in cryptography and IT security research.
