It was a great conference, filled with inspiring keynotes and talks. I've also come away with many wonderful new connections. A definite highlight was the social event at Sea World! Networking alongside dolphins, seals, and rollercoasters is certainly a unique experience 🐬🎢

Leakages from ciphertext side-channels or silent store suppression can leak secrets even from constant-time code. We show how Zebrafix stops this by adding freshness to memory writes through interleaving.

Just back from RAID 2025 (International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses) on the Gold Coast! 🇦🇺

I had the opportunity to present our paper, Zebrafix: Mitigating Memory-Centric Side-Channel Leakage via Interleaving (with @j4nw.bsky.social and @tom-crypt.bsky.social) 🦓

The EU wants to spend your money to assemble a giant mass surveillance machine with little effect on harm against children. Chat Control is not effective, weakens security for all and does not respect privacy. Contact your EU representatives and let them know.

Had a great time at the 1st uASC (Microarchitecture Security Conference) last week. I also had the opportunity to give a talk on software-based mitigations against memory-centric side-channels, and I appreciate the insightful questions and feedback.

#BadRAM just went public: Tampering with DRAM modules allows attackers to bypass SEV-SNP's write protection and forging attestation reports, breaking all trust in #SEV-SNP.
