From research to practice: kudos to @nscaife @peetersc_fics @patrickgtraynor on the launch of Skim Reaper, allowing the detection of skimmers at card terminals.
Law enforcement in Punta Gorda (@pgpdfl) is using the #skimreaper to fight back against card skimmers. Learn more: nbc-2.com/story/41046400/ski…

DES was deprecated a long time ago, right? @FairlyParanoid shows that based on making over a billion TLS handshakes across millions of servers, over 40% of TLS servers are still supporting a variant of DES. Great talk at #ASIACCS19. @uf_fics @UFCISE – at Auckland, New Zealand

1.1 billion handshakes later, my colleague @FairlyParanoid found that over 40.5% of servers worldwide still accept some form of DES during cipher agreement. It's 2019: time to move on! @davejingtian @traynor @kevinrbbutler @UFCISE @uf_fics #asiaccs2019 #asiaccs19

Thanks to ASIACCS'19 for the opportunity to present our work, "A Hybrid Approach to Secure Function Evaluation Using SGX," here in Auckland, NZ. @davejingtian @Digital_Cold @cjpatton_ @Tom_Shrimpton @kevinrbbutler @patrickgtraynor @UFCISE @uf_fics #asiaccs19 #asiaccs2019

Implementing full programs (or even very large functions) via garbled circuits is costly. @choijosephi talks about how natural program partitions can lead to GC/SFE hybrid programs that provide speed (18-30x) AND strong security guarantees. #asiaccs19 @UFCISE @uf_fics
Can we improve privacy preserving computing by combining the security guarantees of garbled circuits with the speed of secure hardware? @choijosephi shows a new hybrid protocol for efficient computing in a great talk at #asiaccs2019. @uf_fics @UFCISE

My colleague @JasmineDBowers crushes her talk on digital credit applications. Policy-to-practice mismatch and faulty configuration put the world's most vulnerable populations, which rely on this technology, further at risk. @SoulfulSherman @kevinrbbutler @patrickgtraynor #WiSec19

Attending WiSec for the first time! Great opening keynote by @rene_mobile touching on the challenges of improving Android security while accommodating the tail-end of the ecosystem, and several excellent talks already in the first session on Android/mobile security. #WiSec19
ACM #WiSec19 begins this morning in Miami Beach. If you care about the security of mobile, wireless, embedded, IoT and all the infrastructure impacted by it, you should be here. Oh yeah, plus it's gorgeous...
