In Science, researchers report the formation of platelet-derived integrin-and tetraspanin-enriched tethers (PITTs) in patients with severe infections. PITTs may contribute to blood clotting, immune dysregulation, and bleeding complications that characterize severe infections. https://scim.ag/4q3CJMP

#Leakage-Resilient #Modes

The Motte-and-Bailey Framework for Leakage-Resilient Accordion Modes: Featuring Qaitbay and Alicante (Mario Marhuenda Beltrán, Mustafa Khairallah) ia.cr/2026/122
Abstract. Accordion modes have experienced a surge in popularity, partially motivated by the recent NIST Accordion modes project. None of the popular candidates is leakage-resilient by default. In this work, we study the design of a leakage-resilient Accordion mode. Firstly, we present a generic analysis of the Encode-then-Encipher paradigm in the leakage-resilient setting, assuming the enciphering is a leakage resilient STPRP. However, we show that the resulting security, while strong, suffers from some limitations. Next, we introduce Motte-and-Bailey, a general framework building leakage resilient accordion modes, in the spirit of the PIV construction. Motte-and-Bailey, or MaB, for short, is a leveled construction, requiring light assumptions on most of its components to guarantee good STPRPl2, CIML2 and CCAmL2 security. In particular, we require two fully protected calls to a TBC, a collision-resistant hash function (with unbounded or light leakage), and an ideal leakage-resilient PRG, secure against single-trace attacks. Additionally, we present particular instantiations, Qaitbay and Alicante. In Qaitbay the PRG and the hash function are replaced by Sponge functions, while an independent TBC is used for the leak-free calls. Alicante makes use of ideal ciphers, and uses the MDPH hash function and the 2PRG construction, while the leak-free calls are implemented using independent calls to the ideal cipher. Also, we propose to instantiate the TBC in Qaitbay with the permutation based XPX. Moreover, Qaitbay and Alicante come in two flavors, the first one is a normal instantiation of MaB, while the second one, at the cost of one additional protected call to a TBC, provides CCAMl2, a quite elusive security property. We note that our construction provide some of the strongest combinations of security notions that are believed to be possible: Qaitbay-1 and Alicante-1 provide STPRPl2 +CIML2 +CCAMl2, while Qaitbay-2 and Alicante-2 provide the same combination in addition to CCAmL2.

Masking Out of Order: Side-Channel Leaks from Software-Masked Cryptography on Out-of-Order Processors (Eden Desmet, Suparna Kundu, Ingrid Verbauwhede) ia.cr/2026/123
Abstract. Masking, the primary countermeasure against differential power attacks, guarantees formal security under abstract execution models that are violated in modern micro-architectures. Meanwhile, processors with out-of-order micro-architectures are increasingly used for high-assurance tasks, yet their physical side-channel leakage remains poorly characterized, hindering side-channel security on such platforms. In this work, we present the first empirical study of physical power side-channel leakage on out-of-order cores. Through practical lab experiments, we identify and validate multiple micro-architectural leakage sources that undermine software masking: register renaming reintroduces register overwrites beyond software control; forwarding leaks through the common data bus, with less impact on security order than in-order forwarding; and concurrent instructions leaks through coupling, with affected instructions determined at runtime. We demonstrate that runtime scheduling and dynamic resource allocation undermine software-only mitigations. To address this, we propose countermeasures that shift part of the responsibility to hardware and require security by design. We further demonstrate that these effects are exploitable in practice by breaking the security of a theoretically secure software-masked lattice-based post-quantum implementation on an out-of-order core. Finally, we find that clock frequency significantly affects leakage of software-masked implementations. This makes security unstable across frequencies and suggests that cryptographic software should be constrained to verified frequencies. Image showing part 2 of abstract.
