Abstract: A common way for attackers to compromise victim systems is hijacking sensitive operations (e.g., control-flow transfers) with attacker-controlled inputs. Existing solutions in general only protect parts of these targets and have high performance overheads, which are impractical and hard to deploy on systems with limited resources (e.g., IoT devices) or for low-level software like kernels and bare-metal firmware. In this paper, we present a lightweight hardware-software co-design solution ROLoad-PMP to protect sensitive operations from being hijacked for low-level software. First, we propose new instructions, which only load data from read-only memory regions with specific keys, to guarantee the integrity of pointees pointed by (potentially corrupted) data pointers. Then, we provide a program hardening mechanism to protect sensitive operations, by classifying and placing their operands into read-only memory with different keys at compile-time and loading them with ROLoad-PMP-family instructions at runtime. We have implemented an FPGA-based prototype of ROLoad-PMP based on RISC-V, and demonstrated an important defense application, i.e., forward-edge control-flow integrity. Results showed that ROLoad-PMP only costs few extra hardware resources (< 1.40%). Moreover, it enables many lightweight (e.g., with negligible overheads < 0.853%) defenses, and provides broader and stronger security guarantees than existing hardware solutions, e.g., ARM BTI and Intel CET.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.13496 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.13496 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.13496

Abstract: Secure, private multi-tenant execution spanning processors, memory, and accelerators remains one of the most significant challenges in modern edge computing systems. Simultaneously, processing-in-memory (PIM) has emerged as an effective approach for reducing the Von Neumann bottleneck by moving computation closer to data. Existing trusted execution environments (TEEs) establish trust only within the processor, protecting data while it traverses untrusted resources such as the memory bus. Consequently, trusted computation cannot be performed directly within memory. We present YAVIN, a unified trusted computing base (TCB) that extends the TEE beyond the processor to encompass both processor execution and a dedicated memory region supporting trusted processing-in-memory execution while treating the memory bus as untrusted. Leveraging the dedicated protected memory regions already established by conventional TEE architectures, YAVIN enables data to be decrypted, processed, and re-encrypted by either processor or PIM execution while remaining within the TEE. To realize this unified TCB, YAVIN presents the first PIM implementations of the LightSaber KEM post-quantum cryptosystem and ASCON-128 authenticated encryption, co-designing both algorithms for efficient DRAM execution to establish and maintain shared cryptographic state. Finally, we demonstrate how cryptography-PIM co-design for tensor-based workloads reorganizes computation to satisfy the ordering constraints imposed by authenticated encryption with minimal performance overhead while simultaneously enabling bit-sliced ordering that limits temporary plaintext exposure. Compared to the latest PIM AES implementation, YAVIN achieves more than a 20x speedup while incurring only 34% and 9.3% overhead when executing INT8 and INT32 quantized edge-class LLMs, respectively, relative to plaintext execution.

Abstract: The proliferation of heterogeneous components in modern computing systems has been accompanied by new higher bandwidth and lower latency interconnects. These interfaces and protocols are enormously complex and the process of developing, debugging, and analyzing FPGA-based implementations requires significant engineering work. Moreover, once a functional implementation is completed, optimization of the controller and associated software requires processing potentially hundreds of gigabytes of trace data.
In this paper, we present Dryas, an open source tool for analyzing such an interconnect. We developed our tool, using minimal hardware resources, alongside an FPGA implementation of a very high speed, low latency (30~GiB/s, 200~ns) interconnect. With our run-time reprogrammable overlay engine we can inspect this interconnect to find rare, complex, or transient events even at full operation. This filtering engine is based on non-deterministic finite automata (NFAs), efficiently implemented using state transition elements (STEs), allowing us to trace events at a cache-line granularity. Moreover we can change the filters in less than a second, without reprogramming the FPGA or interfering with the running application. This data enables not only debugging the implementation of the interconnect itself, but analyzing the behavior of accelerated applications.
We examine the mathematical basis for using NFAs and describe their implementation on a real coherent CPU-FPGA research platform. We then evaluate the scalability of Dryas for various size NFAs, followed by two different use cases: debugging FPGA implementation of the interconnect and analyzing cache behavior.

@cdarwin@c.imThe focus of the GOP’s first ever midterm convention in September
won’t be Trump’s dismal approval rating, how to end the war on Iran, or the stagnant economy.
They will be spending their time, resources, and funds focusing on
⚠️democratic socialism.
Axios reported Friday that the GOP has spent months pulling together an
👉 “endless” video trove of attack ads targeted at progressive commentators like Hasan Piker, and Democratic Senate nominees Abdul El-Sayed and J…
@brichapman@mastodon.socialPlan the outcomes:
Before committing resources, define disappointing, expected, and better than expected results. Link each result to an action. State the evidence that will trigger a continue, expand, pause, or redirect decision.

@cdarwin@c.imCalifornia wants to list 'Jewish' as an ethnicity.
Jews are divided over the idea
California is poised to become the first state to treat Jewish identity as an ethnicity on official forms,
with a new optional checkbox heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk.
Supporters say the change could reveal gaps in healthcare, education and hate-crime response for the state’s 1.2 million Jews,
giving officials better data to direct resources.
Opponents warn a s…
@brichapman@mastodon.socialWarning signs:
Failure risks fill each discussion. Success needs stay undefined. Good results create overload because no capacity was reserved. Resources remain tied to familiar work after evidence favors another use. Past setbacks become proof that expansion is unsafe.
@cdarwin@c.imMaterials in lithium-ion battery cathodes have continuously evolved since the 1990s,
but anodes have stubbornly remained graphite.
Now, finally, there’s some innovation on that side: silicon anodes,
which engineers have struggled to master for a decade,
are finally coming into wide commercialization.
They enable up to five times the energy density of graphite anodes,
charge many times faster,
and are poised to revolutionize the battery market
@cdarwin@c.im$5.
It’s Beto O’Rourke.
$5 is what I’m asking you to donate to Gina Hinojosa’s campaign today.
$5 because Gina is within 1 point of Greg Abbott in the latest polls.
$5 because Gina needs resources to overcome Abbott’s massive war chest.
$5 because Gina has the momentum to take back Texas
— with your help.
If it makes sense for you today, donate $5 to Gina today:

@cdarwin@c.imFor generations, Saudi Arabia exported oil.
Now it wants to export one of the digital era’s most coveted resources:
computing power.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is seizing a chance to turn Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth into tech influence.
Few nations can match the kingdom’s cheap energy, deep pockets and open land
— the ingredients that tech firms need to operate the vast, power-hungry data centers that run modern A.I.
Already, Saudi Arabia has been neg…
@cdarwin@c.imthe U.S. war against Iran passes the six-month mark,
the conflict’s disastrous impacts are being compounded by
the inability of the United States to negotiate or implement a resolution,

The war’s “triple illegality,”

@cdarwin@c.imIn a letter sent to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on Thursday,
a group of Democrats demanded answers on the Trump administration’s reported plans to
construct at least a dozen data centers on public lands owned by the federal government.
The letter to Burgum was spearheaded by House Natural Resources Committee ranking member Rep. Jared Huffman (D-California)
and signed by 15 other Democrats.
In it, the lawmakers note that there has been no public input regardi…
