COMSEC wins Best Paper Award at MICRO’23
Researchers around Prof. Kaveh Razavi, head of the Computer Security Group (COMSEC), received the Best Paper Award at the flagship MICRO conference this week in Toronto. Their paper "Phantom" shows the security implications of pre-decode speculation that is fundamental in achieving high performance.
Phantom explains the root-cause of previous transient execution attacks such as Retbleed or external pageSpectre-SLS and it can also be used as a building block in other attacks, such as Inception.
Congratulations!
