Our paper at the 2025 USENIX Security Symposium “Nothing is Unreachable: Automated Synthesis of Robust Code-Reuse Gadget Chains for Arbitrary Exploitation Primitives” received a Distinguished Artifact Award. The paper is co-authored by Nicolas Bailluet, Isabelle Puaut, Erven Rohou from PACAP and Emmanuel Fleury from Univ Bordeaux, CNRS, LaBRI.
Last week, for the 50th anniversary of IRISA Lab, PACAP brought back to life a computer from the seventies, and demonstrated how wireless sensors can work without batteries.
Sara successfully defended her PhD thesis on Feb 18th 2025, titled: “Using HLS to raise the design abstraction level for faster exploration of different CPU Micro-architectures”. Sara was advised by Steven Derrien, Caroline Collange, and Erven Rohou.
Antoine successfully defended his PhD titled “Vulnerability assessment of a binary program in the presence of numerous and precise faults” on December 12th 2024. Antoine was advised by Damien Hardy, Erven Rohou, and Karine Heydemann.
Hugo successfully defended his PhD titled “Energy-aware execution model for intermittent systems” on November 8th 2024. Hugo was advised by Isabelle Puaut and Erven Rohou from PACAP, and Sébastien Faucou, Jean-Luc Béchennec and Mikaël Briday from STR team, in LS2N Laboratory.
Our paper EarlyBird: energy belongs to those who wake up early has just received the best paper award at the RTCSA international conference, held August 21-23 in Sokcho, South Korea. In this paper, we focus on intermittent computing and we present a new technique to determine appropriate wakeup voltage thresholds to minimize energy consumption. This work was carried out jointly by members of the PACAP team at the Inria Centre at the University of Rennes, and members of the STR team at LS2N. The work was presented by the main author, Hugo Reymond, a 3rd year PhD student, whose thesis…
