CHERI: Architectural Support for Memory Protection and Software Compartmentalization
- September 12, 2025 (10:00 - 11:00)
- Inria Center of the University of Rennes - Espace de conférences
Speaker : Robert Watson - University of Cambridge

CHERI is a processor architecture protection model enabling fine-grained C/C++ memory protection and scalable software compartmentalization. CHERI hybridizes conventional processor, instruction-set, and software designs with an architectural capability model. Originating in DARPA’s CRASH research program in 2010, the work has progressed from FPGA prototypes to the recently released Arm Morello[…]

CHERI standardization and software ecosystem
- September 12, 2025 (11:00 - 12:00)
- Inria Centre of the University of Rennes - Room Métivier
Speaker : Carl Shaw - Codasip

This talk will describe the current status of the RISC-V International standardization process to add CHERI as an official extension to RISC-V. It will then explore the current state of CHERI-enabled operating systems, toolchains and software tool development, focusing on the CHERI-RISC-V hardware implementations of CHERI. It will then go on to give likely future development roadmaps and how the[…]

Focus

Conference on Informational Influence Warfare

Informational Influence Warfare (L2I) encompasses the entire range of techniques used to detect and counter adversary information maneuvers in cyberspace. It is based on a national doctrine that takes into account regulatory, ethical, and geopolitical considerations, as well as a vast technical corpus that includes automatic language processing, large-scale data mining, analysis of collective dynamics on social networks, and more traditional cybersecurity techniques such as protection and attack methods for information systems.

The DGA's Maitrise de l'Information technical center is the MinArm's technical expert in cybersecurity and, as such, has developed expertise in the field of L2I. In collaboration with the Defense Innovation Agency, we wish to share our main technical concerns, challenges, and use cases with the academic research community in order to facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects that we will fund through our research support mechanisms, particularly Creach Labs.

The objective of this conference is to bring together all teams within the scope of CREACH LABS as well as MinArm experts working on L2I to take a cross-look at the main research challenges and facilitate the implementation of collaborative projects, allow PhD students and post-docs to present their project progress, and provide teams with a comprehensive view of ongoing work and strategic directions to take.

« Security supervision »

Security supervision is a field initiated in the 1980s. Even if the foundations of the field have remained unchanged for 40 years, the techniques for implementing them have of course greatly evolved.

« Energy backdoor attack to deep neural networks »

The transition to deep learning has led to a significant surge in computing complexity and energy consumption. This trend has prompted the adoption of acceleration hardware like tensor processing units (TPUs) and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to facilitate energy-efficient deployment on edge and mobile devices. However, recent studies have revealed their vulnerability to energy[…]

« BAGUETTE: Hunting for Evidence of Malicious Behavior in Dynamic Analysis Reports »

Malware analysis consists of studying a sample of suspicious code to understand it and producing a representation or explanation of this code that can be used by a human expert or a clustering/classification/detection tool.
