Title: From Software Security To Cryptographic Research in the ARM World

Abstract: 

In this presentation we will wrap up questions and promises from
previous editions of the Lightweight Crypto Day and present new questions.
The starting point will be the requirements of Control Flow Integrity and
Memory Encryption, and how these led to the requirements on the needed
cryptographic primitive, which in turn prompted the development of the
tweakable block cipher QARMA.
We shall describe how Control Flow Integrity is included in the ARM v8.3-A
architecture.
Finally, we shall conclude with some vistas over future applications and a
few open questions on tweakable block ciphers.
(Time allowing, the rationale of the most critical design choices in QARMA
will be described as well.)
