SGX Accurate Time Measurements

Published:

This talk briefly summarizes our improvements on time measurements inside SGX enclaves. It discusses our discovery of the “Poor man’s CMOV” phenomenon, which later led to the USENIX Security paper on the Frontal Attack.

Revisiting Microarchitectural Side-Channels

Published:

This talks presents the results of applying cache side-channels to contemporary hardware and investigating AES lookup tables, AES key scheduling, and Argon2. The slides give a brief overview of the content described in this blog post

Climbing the Hacking /mnt/ain

Published:

This talk discusses my experience as team coach of the Swiss National Hacking Team and preparing it for the European Cyber Security Challenge 2021.

MEGA: Malleable Encryption Goes Awry

Published:

In this talk, I present five attacks on the user-controlled end-to-end security MEGA. Our attacks show that a malicious provider can break authentication and compromise file confidentiality and integrity.

MFKDF: Multiple Factors Knocked Down Flat

Published:

This talk presents multiple attacks against the Multi-Factor Key Derivation Function, a novel cryptographic primitive that was presented at USENIX’23.

Blast-RADIUS: Breaking Enterprise Authentication

Published:

The Blast-RADIUS attack allows an MITM attacker to authenticate to any device that uses RADIUS over UDP, which includes the vast majority of network routers and other network gear in enterprise infrastructure.
