In this talk we will focus on architectural extensions which aim to make software more resilient against exploitation. We will focus on RISC-V and mainly the Shadow Stack and Landing Pads extension and
present a brief comparison with other architectures.
Dr. George Christou received his BSc, MSc and Ph.D degree in
Computer Science from the University of Crete in
2014 and 2017 respectively. He has been an undergraduate researcher in the Institute of
Computer Science of Foundation Of Research and Technology Hellas
(FORTH) in the Distributed Computing Laboratory from 2013 to 2014.
From 2014 to 2023 he was a graduate researcher in the aforementioned
laboratory. From 2023 he is a researcher in the Microprocessor and Hardware Laboratory
of the Technical University of Crete. His research interest are in the area of
hardware-assisted security, systems security and secure hardware. Since 2022,
he is the chair of the Shadow Stack and Landing Pads task group in the RISC-V foundation.
