Congratulations to Shengtuo Hu on a successful dissertation defense! Shengtuo works to systematically understand vulnerabilities in connected and autonomous vehicles, with a series of tools and analytic techniques.

[Madeline Endres @cellocorgi]

Very excited to attend Papers We Love Conf and talk about research at the intersection of programming and psychoactive substance use! Looking forward to meeting everyone :)

[Cyrus Omar (now mainly on bsky) @neurocy]

I'm in Rome for VL/HCC! I'll be speaking this Wednesday on our paper "RustViz: Interactively Visualizing Ownership and Borrowing", and @disconcision will be speaking later that day on the Hazel Assistant. Say hi and ask for a demo of RustViz or Hazel if you're here!

[Cyrus Omar (now mainly on bsky) @neurocy]

1. Initial talk schedule posted!
2. Deadline for 1-pagers extended until Thursday night -- send something in if you'd like to participate live! (We'll post a recording later.)

2012 research led by @jhalderm has been recognized for its lasting influence w/ a USENIX Security Test of Time Award! The study identified the prevalence of weak keys in network encryption, largely stemming from insufficient randomness during generation.

Political actors secretly obtained access to election systems in Coffee County, GA in early 2021.

This kind of access would have been sufficient to manipulate Georgia BMDs using the vulnerabilities that @_aaspring_ and I reported to CISA.

The state was unaware for over a year!

Very exciting project release by Systems researchers – FedScale provides ML researchers the ability to test federated learning algorithms in a realistic setting without having to deploy their models to thousands or millions of actual devices.

[Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan @UMichCSE]

A simulated assortment of phones, laptops, & other devices provides a realistic training environment for distributed machine learning techniques.

Called FedScale, the #OpenSource engine helps researchers improve ML methods designed with privacy in mind.

Want to know what really happened in Antrim County during the 2020 election?

I just posted a peer-reviewed paper based on the investigation I did for the Michigan SOS and AG. It will appear at @USENIXSecurity in August.
