    Dear HN community! Looking forward to hearing your feedback on ACE (assured confidential execution), technology that implements VM-based trusted execution environment (TEE) for embedded RISC-V systems with focus on a formally verified and auditable firmware. We target high-assurance systems that can benefit from compartmentalization and hardware-backed isolation. The key ingredient called security monitor (firmware) is implemented in Rust. The formal specification is defined as annotations directly in code and gets translated to Coq using RefinedRust automation. ACE design is now part of the…

    Hi HN, I’m the founder of https://b2v.xyz, a service that protects organizations against impersonation attacks. The problem I’m trying to solve stems from the following observation: while end-user authentication methods are becoming more advanced as cybersecurity evolves, organizations aren't experiencing the same improvements when we reverse the roles, i.e. when organizations authenticate themselves to their users. This imbalance leaves a gap in secure communications that B2V aims to close. Bad actors have countless ways to pose as trusted entities — through phishing, smishing,…

    The cloud security company I work for, Sysdig, launched “Headless Cloud Security” last week. The short version: as attacks get faster and more automated, security tooling is going to need to evolve beyond dashboards and humans clicking through workflows all day. We’ve already seen “headless” models emerge in other categories, and engineering teams are rapidly adopting agentic and CLI-first workflows with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP servers. Security teams, historically, tend to lag engineering adoption curves by 6–18 months, but I don’t think that gap will hold much longer. The…
