Computer Science PhD candidate, Adam Waksman, and junior, Matthew Suozzo, have been recognized with a Best Student Paper Award at the 20th ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security held at Berlin, Germany, in November. They co-authored the paper, “FANCI: Identification of Stealthy Malicious Logic Using Boolean Functional Analysis,” with advisor, Simha Sethumadhavan, associate professor of computer science. The paper describes a method for detecting backdoors embedded in hardware circuits before the design is manufactured and sent to the market, offering the first purely static analysis technique for detecting backdoors embedded in hardware.

IEEE Micro selects two Columbia publications as "Top Picks in Computer Architecture." The paper is titled "A Quantitative, Experimental Approach to Measuring Processor Side-Channel Security." The authors are John Demme, Robert Martin, Adam Waksman and Simha Sethumadhavan. This paper describes quantitative method to identify bad hardware design decisions that weaken security. The methodology can be used in the early processor design stages when security vulnerabilities can be easily fixed. The paper marks the beginning of a quantitative approach to securing computer architectures.
