Trusted execution environments (TEEs) see rising use in devices from embedded sensors to
cloud servers and encompass a range of cost, power constraints, and security threat model …

Trusted execution environments (TEEs) are becoming a requirement across a wide range of
platforms, from embedded sensors to cloud servers, which encompass a wide range of cost …

We provide a formal treatment of backdoored pseudorandom generators (PRGs). Here a
saboteur chooses a PRG instance for which she knows a trapdoor that allows prediction of …

We have analyzed the hardware full-disk encryption of several solid state drives (SSDs) by
reverse engineering their firmware. These drives were produced by three manufacturers …

Virtualized environments are widely thought to cause problems for software-based random
number generators (RNGs), due to use of virtual machine (VM) snapshots as well as fewer …

The security of any cryptosystem relies on the secrecy of the system's secret keys. Yet,
recent experimental work demonstrates that tens of thousands of devices on the Internet use …

The generation of high quality random numbers is crucial to many cryptographic
applications, including cryptographic protocols, secret of keys, nonces or salts. Their values …

The ability to generate secure random numbers is fundamental to the security of
cryptographic protocols. Random Number Generators (RNGs) start to appear in recent …

Over the past decade, several security issues with Linux Random Number Generator
(LRNG) on PCs and Androids have emerged. The main problem involves the process of …

Common misconceptions about randomness underlie the design and implementation of
randomness sources in popular operating systems. We debunk these fallacies with a survey …
