This third article from the Samsung's TrustZone series details some vulnerabilities that were found and how they were exploited to obtain code execution in EL3.

In this second blog post of our series on Samsung's TrustZone, we present the various tools that we have developed during our research to help us reverse engineer and exploit Trusted Applications as well as Secure Drivers.

In this first article of a series of three, we will give a tour of the different components of Samsung's TrustZone, explain how they work and how they interact with each other.

Quarkslab's team performed a cryptographic and security assessment of both the Bulletproof and MLSAG protocols in Particl. Bulletproof is a non-interactive zero-knowledge proof protocol, while MLSAG is a new ring signature protocol. Both are to be used in cryptocurrency transactions to ensure that they do not leak the amount exchanged or the exact identity of the buyers. Both implementations were found sound and conform to their respective reference papers [BBBPWM18] [SN15]. The full report of the assessment can be found at the following address: [2]
