SPHINCS+ is a hash-based digital signature scheme that was selected by NIST in their post-quantum cryptography standardization process. The establishment of a universal forgery on the seminal scheme SPHINCS was shown to be feasible in practice by injecting a fault when the signing device constructs ...
Protecting Cache States Against Both Speculative Execution Attacks and Side-channel Attacks
(arxiv.org)
Cache side-channel attacks and speculative execution attacks that leak information through cache states are stealthy and dangerous attacks on hardware that must be mitigated. Unfortunately, defenses proposed for cache side-channel attacks do not mitigate all cache-based speculative execution attacks...
MIT spinout DataCebo helps companies bolster their datasets by creating synthetic data that mimic the real thing. Generative AI is getting plenty of attention for its ability to create text and images. But those media represent only a fraction of the data that proliferate in our society today. Data ...
