The paper “On the Security of SSH Client Signatures”, which was co-authored by Maximilian Radoy and Juraj Somorovsky, won two awards at ACM CCS 2025: Distinguished Paper Award and Distinguished Artifact Award.
The paper resulted from a cooperation of our group with Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Jörg Schwenk (Ruhr University Bochum), and was presented at the renowned conference in October 13-17, 2025, in Taipei, Taiwan. In our paper, we analyzed the security of SSH client keys and signatures and reveal a specific vulnerability in PuTTY (CVE-2024-31497).
