In our paper to appear @USENIXSecurity 21, we observe that when frequently issuing interrupts, instructions execution times correlate with their virtual address (mod 16). We used this to exploit SGX enclaves. \w Moritz Schneider @M__Haller @SrdjanCapkun arxiv.org/abs/2005.11516

Ethereum is my love and life but I couldn't resist poking some satirical fun today. If ETH was a Disney musical villain:

Replying to @tarunchitra
If your PhD isn't setting precedents ur doing it wrong. I consider the battle intellectual, Ari is a wonderful advisor with a group that's doing some of the most important work in the space. Highly recommend talking to him if you're interested in academia+blockchain.

As one of the GasToken authors, I am strongly in favor of this proposal rendering GasToken ineffective by removing refunds for SSTORE and SELFDESTRUCT. github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pul…

Perhaps a first step towards the right direction could be to remove the refund mechanism? That would make gas token and it's clones moot, which would in turn stop bloating the state every time there's lower gas price. EIP1554 could counter balance it by stabilizing fees?
In light of recent gas price blowups, is the #Ethereum community still vehemently against state rent? The gas limit is kept down to avoid hitting a critical state size. If the state size could be capped, the gas limit could go up.

My guess for the new supply chain attack targets in 2021: - GitHub Actions - VS Code extensions GitHub really shouldn't allow version tags of published Actions to change. I have no ideas for VS Code, extensions are hard, as browsers know.
