Our paper "SIMurai: Slicing Through the Complexity of SIM Card Security Research" just went public!
In this paper, we explore the question: What kind of attacks could a hostile SIM launch against your phone? Surprisingly, a lot.

So... Andy won the ACM Software System Award for MINIX!
I feel very proud and privileged to have worked with him (on MINIX 3 and other things)! He is one of the true pioneers of operating systems and one of the reasons i came to @VUamsterdam.
