The paper 'HERA: Hotpatching of Embedded Real-time Applications' has been accepted at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) 2021. We present the first framework to allow hotpatching of real-time embedded...

With his Master Thesis "Securing Real-time Embedded Systems Through Hotpatching" Christian Niesler wins the Eurobits Award that is endowed with prize money of 1000€. Congratulatons!

Das Paper „TeeRex: Discovery and Exploitation of Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities in SGX Enclaves“ von Tobias Cloosters, Michael Rodler und Lucas Davi wurde von CSAW Europe in die Finalrunde der zehn besten Paper des Jahres 2020...

Smart Contracts have made Ethereum the world's second largest crypto currency. However, recent criminal attacks exploited errors in the programmed contracts. Our research group, together with partners from industry, has developed...

In October Christian Niesler joined the group of Prof. Lucas Davi.

We have two lectures and a project group in the winter term.

In the course of our research on Trusted Execution Environments we discovered multiple vulnerabilities in security-critical software running in protected memory areas of modern Intel processors. In the worst-case scenario, harmful...

In der Bachelorarbeit von Lasse Bruns wurde die Sicherheit von IP-Webcams untersucht. IP-Webcams erlauben es dem Benutzer, über das Internet das Kamerabild abzurufen. Hierbei wurde eine Lücke festgestellt, die es erlaubt hat, ein...

In order to maintain the increasing chip performance while simultaneously advancing miniaturization, manufactures of modern memory- and processing units are increasingly relying on highly optimized, parallelized...

In the summer term, we offer a bachelor seminar on Vulnerability Detection and Analysis.

A trusted execution environment introduces a hardware-based protection environment for programm code and data. The TEE ensures that neither malicious code nor a compromised operating system can access code and data contained in...

After publishing our Paper on  "Sereum: Protecting Existing Smart Contracts Against Re-Entrancy Attacks" at NDSS 2019 we continued running experiments to identify new potential attacks happening in recent blocks of the Ethereum...
