Approaches to System Security: Using Cryptographic Techniques to Minimize Trust

ACM Sigarch

This is the first post in a series of posts on different approaches to systems security especially as they apply to hardware and architectural security. In this post, we will consider the use of mathematics/cryptography as an approach to improving systems security. The class of techniques described in this blog post, which we broadly refer to as applied hardware and architecture cryptography, apply proven cryptographic techniques to strengthen systems.
