Hack@Sec2020
ATHENE-researcher and students organise one of the largest hardware security competitions
ATHENE-researcher Prof. Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi from the TU Darmstadt is one of the organizers of this year's Hack@Sec competition. TU Darmstadt is also represented in the student organization team with three students. The goal of this competition is to develop practical and effective solutions and computer-aided tools to identify such vulnerabilities more efficiently in buggy SoCs.
Participating teams in this competition try to mimic the practices of a security assurance team that is responsible for the security assurance of the hardware and firmware of the system under test. Their objective is to identify the security vulnerabilities (both microarchitectural/side-channel flaws as well as security bugs), assess their security impact, propose a mitigation, and report them. They are free to use any tools and techniques of their choosing.
Hack@Sec 2020 takes place in the context of the USENIX Security Smposium from August 12-14, 2020 in Boston, USA.
