Cache Timing Leakages in Zero-Knowledge Protocols

Authors: Shibam Mukherjee, Christian Rechberger, and Markus Schofnegger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 354, 7th Conference on Advances in Financial Technologies (AFT 2025)

Abstract
The area of modern zero-knowledge proof systems has seen a significant rise in popularity over the last couple of years, with new techniques and optimized constructions emerging on a regular basis. As the field matures, the aspect of implementation attacks becomes more relevant, however side-channel attacks on zero-knowledge proof systems have seen surprisingly little treatment so far. In this paper, we give an overview of potential attack vectors and show that some of the underlying finite field libraries, and implementations of heavily used components like hash functions using them, are vulnerable w.r.t. cache attacks on CPUs. On the positive side, we demonstrate that the computational overhead to protect against these attacks is relatively small.

Integrating Questions About Learners’ Code in an Automated Assessment System

Authors: Afonso B. Caniço and André L. Santos

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 133, 6th International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC 2025)

Abstract
Questions about Learners' Code (QLCs) assess programming students' program comprehension skills by providing personalised questions targeting the students' own program code. We conducted a preliminary, experimental implementation of integrating QLCs in the Automated Assessment System (AAS) used in an introductory programming course using Java. QLCs targeted some of the code assignments which students had to complete during the course. We collected 889 answers to QLCs, answered by 13 students over five course modules. We found that as the complexity of exercises increases, the success rate of the same type of QLC may not improve, and even exhibit a decline over time. We further analysed incorrect answers individually to relate them to possible misconceptions.

Scaling Up: Revisiting Mining Android Sandboxes at Scale for Malware Classification (Replication Paper)

Authors: Francisco Handrick Tomaz da Costa, Ismael Medeiros, Leandro Oliveira, João Calássio, Rodrigo Bonifácio, Krishna Narasimhan, Mira Mezini, and Márcio Ribeiro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
The widespread use of smartphones in daily life has raised concerns about privacy and security among researchers and practitioners. Privacy issues are generally highly prevalent in mobile applications, particularly targeting the Android platform - the most popular mobile operating system. For this reason, several techniques have been proposed to identify malicious behavior in Android applications, including the Mining Android Sandbox approach (MAS approach), which aims to identify malicious behavior in repackaged Android applications (apps). However, previous empirical studies evaluated the MAS approach using a small dataset consisting of only 102 pairs of original and repackaged apps. This limitation raises questions about the external validity of their findings and whether the MAS approach can be generalized to larger datasets. To address these concerns, this paper presents the results of a replication study focused on evaluating the performance of the MAS approach regarding its capabilities of correctly classifying malware from different families. Unlike previous studies, our research employs a dataset that is an order of magnitude larger, comprising 4,076 pairs of apps covering a more diverse range of Android malware families. Surprisingly, our findings indicate a poor performance of the MAS approach for identifying malware, with the F1-score decreasing from 0.90 for the small dataset used in the previous studies to 0.54 in our more extensive dataset. Upon closer examination, we discovered that certain malware families partially account for the low accuracy of the MAS approach, which fails to classify a repackaged version of an app as malware correctly. Our findings highlight the limitations of the MAS approach, particularly when scaled, and underscore the importance of complementing it with other techniques to detect a broader range of malware effectively. This opens avenues for further discussion on addressing the blind spots that affect the accuracy of the MAS approach.

Uncertainty Management in the Construction of Knowledge Graphs: A Survey

Authors: Lucas Jarnac, Yoan Chabot, and Miguel Couceiro

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 1 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 1

Abstract
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are a major asset for companies thanks to their great flexibility in data representation and their numerous applications, e.g., vocabulary sharing, Q&A or recommendation systems. To build a KG, it is a common practice to rely on automatic methods for extracting knowledge from various heterogeneous sources. However, in a noisy and uncertain world, knowledge may not be reliable and conflicts between data sources may occur. Integrating unreliable data would directly impact the use of the KG, therefore such conflicts must be resolved. This could be done manually by selecting the best data to integrate. This first approach is highly accurate, but costly and time-consuming. That is why recent efforts focus on automatic approaches, which represent a challenging task since it requires handling the uncertainty of extracted knowledge throughout its integration into the KG. We survey state-of-the-art approaches in this direction and present constructions of both open and enterprise KGs. We then describe different knowledge extraction methods and discuss downstream tasks after knowledge acquisition, including KG completion using embedding models, knowledge alignment, and knowledge fusion in order to address the problem of knowledge uncertainty in KG construction. We conclude with a discussion on the remaining challenges and perspectives when constructing a KG taking into account uncertainty.

Hash & Adjust: Competitive Demand-Aware Consistent Hashing

Authors: Arash Pourdamghani, Chen Avin, Robert Sama, Maryam Shiran, and Stefan Schmid

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 324, 28th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2024)

Abstract
Distributed systems often serve dynamic workloads and resource demands evolve over time. Such a temporal behavior stands in contrast to the static and demand-oblivious nature of most data structures used by these systems. In this paper, we are particularly interested in consistent hashing, a fundamental building block in many large distributed systems. Our work is motivated by the hypothesis that a more adaptive approach to consistent hashing can leverage structure in the demand, and hence improve storage utilization and reduce access time. We initiate the study of demand-aware consistent hashing. Our main contribution is H&A, a constant-competitive online algorithm (i.e., it comes with provable performance guarantees over time). H&A is demand-aware and optimizes its internal structure to enable faster access times, while offering a high utilization of storage. We further evaluate H&A empirically.

FaaSLoad: Fine-Grained Performance and Resource Measurement for Function-As-a-Service

Authors: Mathieu Bacou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 324, 28th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2024)

Abstract
Cloud computing relies on a deep stack of system layers: virtual machine, operating system, distributed middleware and language runtime. However, those numerous, distributed, virtual layers prevent any low-level understanding of the properties of FaaS applications, considered as programs running on real hardware. As a result, most research analyses only consider coarse-grained properties such as global performance of an application, and existing datasets include only sparse data. FaaSLoad is a tool to gather fine-grained data about performance and resource usage of the programs that run on Function-as-a-Service cloud platforms. It considers individual instances of functions to collect hardware and operating-system performance information, by monitoring them while injecting a workload. FaaSLoad helps building a dataset of function executions to train machine learning models, studying at fine grain the behavior of function runtimes, and replaying real workload traces for in situ observations. This research software project aims at being useful to cloud system researchers with features such as guaranteeing reproducibility and correctness, and keeping up with realistic FaaS workloads. Our evaluations show that FaaSLoad helps us understanding the properties of FaaS applications, and studying the latter under real conditions.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.

A Hybrid Programming Language for Formal Modeling and Verification of Hybrid Systems

Authors: Eduard Kamburjan, Stefan Mitsch, and Reiner Hähnle

Published in: LITES, Volume 8, Issue 2 (2022): Special Issue on Distributed Hybrid Systems. Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2

Abstract
Designing and modeling complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) faces the double challenge of combined discrete-continuous dynamics and concurrent behavior. Existing formal modeling and verification languages for CPS expose the underlying proof search technology. They lack high-level structuring elements and are not efficiently executable. The ensuing modeling gap renders formal CPS models hard to understand and to validate. We propose a high-level programming-based approach to formal modeling and verification of hybrid systems as a hybrid extension of an Active Objects language. Well-structured hybrid active programs and requirements allow automatic, reachability-preserving translation into differential dynamic logic, a logic for hybrid (discrete-continuous) programs. Verification is achieved by discharging the resulting formulas with the theorem prover KeYmaera X. We demonstrate the usability of our approach with case studies.

Optimal Oracles for Point-To-Set Principles

Authors: D. M. Stull

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)

Abstract
The point-to-set principle [Lutz and Lutz, 2018] characterizes the Hausdorff dimension of a subset E ⊆ ℝⁿ by the effective (or algorithmic) dimension of its individual points. This characterization has been used to prove several results in classical, i.e., without any computability requirements, analysis. Recent work has shown that algorithmic techniques can be fruitfully applied to Marstrand’s projection theorem, a fundamental result in fractal geometry. In this paper, we introduce an extension of point-to-set principle - the notion of optimal oracles for subsets E ⊆ ℝⁿ. One of the primary motivations of this definition is that, if E has optimal oracles, then the conclusion of Marstrand’s projection theorem holds for E. We show that every analytic set has optimal oracles. We also prove that if the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of E agree, then E has optimal oracles. Moreover, we show that the existence of sufficiently nice outer measures on E implies the existence of optimal Hausdorff oracles. In particular, the existence of exact gauge functions for a set E is sufficient for the existence of optimal Hausdorff oracles, and is therefore sufficient for Marstrand’s theorem. Thus, the existence of optimal oracles extends the currently known sufficient conditions for Marstrand’s theorem to hold. Under certain assumptions, every set has optimal oracles. However, assuming the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis, we construct sets which do not have optimal oracles. This construction naturally leads to a generalization of Davies' theorem on projections.

Simulating Morphogenesis

Authors: Benjamin Porter

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9291, Computational Creativity: An Interdisciplinary Approach (2009)

Abstract
I am a graduate student at Monash University. My research is in the domain of computer graphics, where I am attempting to grow organic three dimensional forms using models inspired by real biological development. The presented animation demonstrated the simulated development of a virtual organism reminiscent of a starfish or sea urchin. As in a real developing organism the cells of the virtual organism divide and communicate, adding more complexity to the initially simple form. The behaviour of the cells result in the development of limbs, giving rise to the starfish-like appearance of the final organisms.

It outlines the motivation for using computational techniques to stimulate human creativity, briefly summarising its historical context and predecessors, and describes two software studies produced by the group as base-line exemplars of these ideas.
