We will meet on Monday, Sept 7th, at Rechbauerstraße 12, 8010 Graz, on the first floor in front of the auditorium (“Aula”) where the summer school takes place.

Starting from 8:30 am, we will be there to welcome you with coffee and cake, and to hand you our welcome package.
The program starts at 9:00 am in the “Aula”.

For information & if you have questions:
Ask our staff on-site or join our Discord server

A central goal of the school is to enable communication between presenters and the participants. Therefore we will have a so-called Research Forum on Monday. Everyone is welcome to join and listen to the presentations!

The basic idea of the forum is that students and researchers joining GSW present their current research in a 5-minute talk. This will help them to get connected with other participants working on a similar topic. Furthermore, presenting at the Research Forum is a prerequisite for earning optional 2 ECTS.

Please email your slides to Sunday, 24 August at the latest to securityweek.isec@tugraz.at!

In this session, you will get hands-on experience with system security, cryptography, web security, and more!
The session is hosted by the student team LosFuzzys as a beginner-friendly capture-the-flag competition, where participants must find and exploit vulnerabilities in given programs. Upon successful exploitation, you will receive a flag that will reward you with points! This is a great opportunity to network and collaborate with like-minded people to find solutions to security-related problems.

Please bring your own laptop!

In this tutorial, you will use physical side-channel attacks to break the security of embedded devices.
We will use power analysis attacks and measure the power consumption of a microcontroller while it performs encryptions. Using the power consumption of the device, we will extract the used encryption key.
In particular, we will investigate how to conduct these attacks on simulated secure systems and the AES block cipher. All the experiments will be performed on a real microcontroller on a ChipWhisperer board, which lets you easily measure the power consumption and inject faults.

In contrast to runtime attacks, the CPU microarchitecture itself gives much more subtle ways to attack an application via side-channels. These side channels range from measuring execution time and detecting memory access patterns, over cache attacks (e.g., Flush+Reload) to Meltdown and Spectre attacks, leaking information across different processes and privilege boundaries. In this lab, you will experiment with various microarchitectural side channels.

We all got to present at conferences sometime during our PhD, but no one taught us how. This Speaker Training is for you!
We will run through a few simple exercises for speaking, intonation, controlling volume, insecurities and confidence, emotions and thoughts during a presentation, and mastering question and answer sessions eloquently.

The session is hosted by our speaker, Prof. Daniel Gruss. The space is limited to about 20 people, so please contact daniel.gruss@tugraz.at if you want to participate.
