2023

Phantom won the best paper award at MICRO’23! Phantom shows the security implications of pre-decode speculation that is fundamental in achieving high performance.

The bachelor thesis of Zhenrong Lang on studying and generalizing the half-double effect has won a best BSc award in the department. Congratulations!

Daniël Trujillo, a recently graduated master student from the COMSEC group of Prof. Kaveh Razavi, has won an ETH medal for his thesis entitled "Racing Against the Decoder: Leaking Arbitrary Memory with Phantom Speculation and Training in Transient Execution".

Researchers at ETH Zurich have found a new attack on AMD computer chips in which the attacker plants an “idea” in the computer without it noticing. Using that attack, it was possible to leak data from anywhere in the computer’s memory.

One more member of the DISCO group receives a doctorate from ETH. Congratulations!
