🚨 Call for Presentations – PriSC 2026 We welcome presentations on secure compilation, multi-language security, low-level enforcement, etc. Have exciting ideas to share with the community? Submit a 2-page abstract: popl26.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2...

PriSC 2026 - POPL 2026

10th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation Today’s computer systems are insecure. The semantics of mainstream low-level languages like C provide no security against devastating vulnerabilities ...

We investigated how changes to hardware designs are evaluated and found that systems security papers often omit crucial details, possibly leading to unfair comparisons with related work. For more details with a case study and recommendations, check out our paper at ACM REP! mici.hu/papers/demeu...

Congrats to @mici.hu & Jo Van Bulck on winning the Distinguished Paper Award at EuroS&P. "openIPE: An Extensible Memory Isolation Framework for Microcontrollers" tackles a major gap in embedded systems security: the lack of standards-based, extensible memory isolation for low-end microcontrollers.

Check out openIPE (EuroS&P '25), a platform for security research featuring a memory isolation primitive based on Texas Instruments microcontrollers, an extensible trusted software layer, and tooling for security validation. mici.hu/papers/bognar25openipe.pdf github.com/martonbognar/openipe

This battle will keep playing out over and over again until they achieve something that their own citizens have made it clear they don’t want. www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...

All papers should publish their code. Help realize this by becoming an artifact reviewer at NDSS'26, apply here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... You'll review artifacts of accepted papers. We especially encourage junior/senior PhD students & PostDocs to help. Distinguished reviews will get awards!

Take a cycle to read our new SysTEX paper! We show that timing leaks can be introduced at all levels of the hardware-software stack in embedded systems (hardware state machines, comparisons of native C integers, and library functions). mici.hu/papers/vandi... github.com/dnet-tee/wai...

uASC 2026 will take place on February 3, 2026, in Leuven, Belgium, hosted by KU Leuven. We can't wait to see you next year! Cycle 1 Paper Submission Deadline is July 15, 2025! 👉 uasc.cc #uasc26

Haven't seen this on Bluesky yet: S&P 2027 will take place in Montreal, Canada!

and if you need any more convincing, i will be giving a hands-on introduction to Proteus, our RISC-V processor designed for security researchers!

Boston Market recently changed their name to Boston MARKET, a move that increased their market capitalization by 500%

Got some negative or unrealistic threat model results that still bring interesting insights? A side channel that requires root to leak something from the kernel? Reproducing prior work? Somewhat related to microarchitecture? Here's your venue: uasc.cc
