ePrint ReportApplying these techniques, we construct a protocol for the Anonymous Zether payment systemas proposed in Bünz, Agrawal, Zamani, and Boneh (FC'20)which improves upon the communication complexity attained by existing efforts. We describe an open-source, Ethereum-based implementation of our protocol.

ePrint ReportWhile initially designed for side-channel information, our framework can also be used in other cases: exploiting decryption failures, or simply exploiting constraints imposed by certain schemes (LAC, Round5, NTRU), that were previously not known to (sligthly) benefit from lattice attacks.
We implement a Sage 9.0 toolkit to actually mount such attacks with hints when computationally feasible, and to predict their performances on larger instances. We provide several end-to-end application examples, such as an improvement of a single trace attack on Frodo by Bos et al (SAC 2018). Contrary to ad-hoc practical attacks exploiting side-channel leakage, our work is a generic way to estimate security loss even given very little side-channel information.

Job PostingSafety and Security in Industry Research Lab (SafeSecLab)
https://karriere.tuwien.ac.at/Job/126869?culture=en
Deadline: 19.03.2020
Cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) need suitable networked architectures that take into account and combine safety (operation of the system must not pose any danger) and security (protection against unauthorized manipulation). As part of the newly founded "TÜV AUSTRIA Safety and Security in Industry Research Lab" (SafeSecLab), several related research questions are addressed within the framework of dissertation projects (3 years funding) at TU Wien.
Open PhD topics:
- Safety and Security Modelling
- Safe and Secure System Architectures
- Automated Risk Management
- Secure Hardware Design
