| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
- Several rounds of submission to Usenix S&P and CCS, but no accept so far.
- Paper accepted at the SysTEX '23 workshop.
- Research paper submitted to the SysTEX '24 workshop, but unfortunately not accepted.
- Started working on securing I/O by leveraging the ARM TrustZone TEE so that a cheater cannot automate his gameplay (e.g., running an aimbot).

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Current results have not been accepted yet to a top-level international conference, so we have to spend more time to strengthen the paper.
In parallel we are continuing working on the other tasks related to the project: small secure memory and absence of trusted I/O.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Small secure memory: we are actively working on the implementation and evaluation of our solution. We are currently using Qemu, but plan to eventually evaluate our solution on a real RISC-V board.
Trusted I/O: we are working on the implementation of a new system where I/O is protected against a strong attacker, so that a cheater cannot automate his cheats (e.g., running an aimbot). Results with the current prototype, leveraging ARM TrustZone, look promising.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
We bought several hardware we are currently using in the project. We would like to finish the current tasks with these hardware before we move on to newer hardware.
For next fiscal year we plan to buy new RISC-V and ARM TrustZone hardware, computer equipment to help us conducting our research (laptop, etc.), and use the budget to present our work at international venues.
