Our Student Achievers
Drishti at MICRO 2025
Congratulations to Sweta (PhD Student) and Prerna Shukla (MS Student) for their paper Drishti: Do Not Forget Slicing While Designing Last-Level Cache Replacement Policies for Many-Core Systems being accepted at MICRO 2025!
From designing secure cache management techniques to uncovering subtle nuances in two decades of research, their work provides deep insights into cache management for many-core systems with sliced caches.
Rowhammer vs SPHINCS+ recognized at ICCAD
We’re also thrilled to celebrate the recognition of our work at ICCAD with the paper titled Everything Depends on Your Hammer: A Systematic Rowhammer Attack Exploration on SPHINCS+, authored by S. G. Shoaib Ahamed (MS Student), Mrityunjay Shukla (PhD Student), Khushang Singla (B.Tech Student), and Prof. Sayandeep Saha.
This work pushes the boundaries of hardware security and post-quantum cryptography, exposing novel vulnerabilities in SPHINCS+ through a systematic Rowhammer exploration.
Distinguished Artifact Award at USENIX Security 2025
We are delighted to share that the paper “SOK: So, You Think You Know All About Secure Randomized Caches?” has received the Distinguished Artifact Award at USENIX Security 2025, the flagship conference in system security.
USENIX Security 2025 received 2,385 submissions, out of which 407 papers were accepted. The Distinguished Artifact Award is selected from among these accepted papers and their accompanying artifacts, making this a truly outstanding achievement.
The student authors presented the paper two days ago in Seattle, USA. I am attaching the photos.
Congratulations to the authors — Anubhav Bhatla, Hari Rohit Bhavsar, Prof. Sayandeep Saha, and Prof. Biswabandan Panda— on this well-deserved recognition!
MoU signed with Infosys
IITB Trust Lab has signed an MoU with Infosys which will see them support our Security Operations Centre (SOC) project. Designed to help smaller, resource-constrained institutions strengthen their cyber defense, the SOC provides a central dashboard where threats and anomalies can be monitored with minimal effort and manpower. Currently being rolled out in the CSE Department at IIT Bombay, the project is set to expand to other institutions, making advanced cybersecurity monitoring accessible through an open-source, low-cost, and easy-to-deploy model. This support from Infosys will accelerate our mission of creating scalable, community-driven cybersecurity solutions accessible to the smallest organisations.
IITB Trust Lab Launches First Ever Professional Certificate Courses
Trust Lab marked a milestone with the launch of its first-ever professional certificate courses. Two tracks are now live — Software Development and Cybersecurity. The Software Development program takes learners from Unix fundamentals and modern web stacks to full-stack deployment and cloud engineering practices, while the Cybersecurity program covers cryptography, web application security, and large-scale network defence.These programs have a rigorous, hands-on lab-based approach, designed with guided support to ensure learners can translate theory into practice. The programs embody Trust Lab’s commitment to building secure, reliable systems by providing quality education in the domain of digital trust.
For a complete overview of both tracks, please visit the TrustEdge website.
