Hi all, I’ll be serving as Program (co-)Chair for CASCADE 2027 (cascade-conference.org) with Christine Cloostermans. If you are working on embedded security, PQC, AI security, side-channel analysis, or fault injection, then submit to CASCADE (by June 26)!

TrustZone is only an ARM HW-based technology for_supporting_ a TEE. It is NOT a TEE. There is so much more on top of it to make a TEE. 1/n
