At the 24th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (TrustCom 2025), Yalan Wang (University of Surrey) presented the paper “An Improved Vector Commitment Construction with Applications to Signatures”. The work introduced an efficient batched vector commitment scheme, called BACON, based on the half-tree technique and relying solely on hash...

Suite5 took part in the RESCALE Workshop at the HiPEAC2026 Conference in Krakow, where they presented the CASTOR project. The event provided an excellent platform to highlight CASTOR’s vision and objectives for secure path routing in the compute continuum, while also reinforcing collaboration with the RESCALE project on cybersecurity-related initiatives.

CASTOR Horizon will be featured at the ICT 2026 Conference in Thessaloniki, a leading international event bringing together researchers, industry experts, and policymakers to discuss the future of information and communication technologies. As part of the conference, FERON Technologies, partner in CASTOR, is organizing a Special Session on Mission Critical Services in 6G (SS6), focusing...

CASTOR Horizon will be represented at CompSys 2026, the annual Dutch conference dedicated to advances in computer systems and computing research, taking place from 16–18 June 2026. During the event, Dr. Anuj Pathania from the University of Amsterdam will present an overview of the ongoing research activities of the Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) group, including...

CASTOR was represented at SecSoft 2026 through Universidad de Murcia (UMU), which presented the paper "A Staged Control Method for Router Configuration and Explicit Path Enforcement Using PCE and Flex-Algo." The paper introduces a staged approach to router configuration and explicit path enforcement by combining a Network Controller, Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo), and a Path Computation...

CASTOR Horizon will be represented at the IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI) 2026 by the University of Amsterdam. UvA Ph.D. student Hang Xu will present the paper “Fast Transformer Inference on ARM-Based HMPSoCs.” UvA is primarily responsible for developing and implementing optimization algorithms in the optimization engine in CASTOR. In this context,...

UBITECH, CASTOR’s project coordinator, presented its latest paper, titled “Slice & Dice: Privacy-Preserving Layered Attestation via Active Memory Introspection,” at SECRYPT 2026. The work addresses the limitations of static binary load-time checks by introducing an active memory introspection architecture, where a minimal firmware layer can dynamically monitor runtime memory for modifications affecting the code integrity...

At the 22nd EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks, Prof. Liqun Chen (University of Surrey) will deliver a keynote presentation on attribute-based cryptography, covering attribute-based encryption, attribute-based signatures, and attribute-based searchable encryption, along with three related research contributions developed by his team. These advanced cryptographic primitives will be relevant to CASTOR...

CASTOR Horizon supported the organization of the 2026 IEEE CSR Workshop on Electrical Power and Energy Systems Security, Privacy and Resilience (EPES-SPR), which took place as part of the IEEE CSR conference. The workshop focused on novel technologies and solutions for strengthening the security, privacy, and resilience of energy systems, covering topics including security information...

Yalan Wang, University of Surrey, will present the paper ’FABS: Fast Attribute-Based Signatures’ published at the 35 th USENIX Security Symposium. In this paper, we proposed two attribute-based signatures: one is a key-policy-based version, and the other is a signature-policy-based version.  Both support desirable features, such as monotone span program policy, large universe, and arbitrary...

Feron will present the paper "Zero Trust Blind Exposure: Predictive Orbital Forecasting and Blockchain Secured Routing for Space Air Ground Integrated Networks" (authored by Alexandros Fakis and Konstantinos Maliatsos) at CyberICPS 2026 (the 12th Workshop on the Security of Industrial Control Systems and of Cyber-Physical Systems), held together with ESORICS 2026 (the 31st European Symposium...
