Abstract: In this talk, we present the design and implementation of a tool to construct faithful models of the latency, throughput...
Abstract: Automated verification has become an essential part in the security evaluation of cryptographic protocols. Recently, the...
Abstract: Developing software products and maintaining software versions for adding or modifying functionality and quality to soft...
Abstract: Secure multi-party computation (MPC) protocols allow a group of n parties to compute some function on the parties’...
Abstract: In this presentation we analyze the (in)famous microarchitectureal side-channel attacks known as Spectre and Meltdown. W...
Abstract: Optics provide rich abstractions and composition patterns to access and manipulate immutable data structures. However, t...
