Cryptography

New findings from NDSS include side-channel attacks on kernel data structures, a smartwatch continuous authentication system, and an optimized sharding blockchain consensus.

New papers on botnet remediation, satellite honeypots, Payment Channel Networks, censorship circumvention, hypervisor fuzzing, and LLM prompt leakage.

LLM assistance in reverse engineering, side-channel device tracking in exclusive-use IoT, and defensive measures for differentially private streams and iteratively pruned deep neural networks.

Today’s preprint highlights include unprivileged IMU side-channels on Apple Silicon, TEE-backed digital rights architectures, hardware-rooted Linux anti-cheat, provenance-aware transformers against indirect prompt injection, and cryptographic implementation benchmarking for LLMs.
