(RASACC) Automated Resilience Assessment for Autonomous System-based System-on-Chip Architectures
Abigail Butka and Brian Butka
The RASACC 2026 program features keynote talks, technical paper presentations, and a hands-on session on resilience, trust, and assurance for autonomous and agentic systems.
9:00–10:15
Keynote
Title
Using Trusted Execution Environments to accelerate and reinforce blockchain consensus.
Bio and Abstract
Jérémie Decouchant is an assistant professor at TU Delft, specializing in the design of robust distributed systems and algorithms. His research focuses on mechanisms that prevent, tolerate, detect, and remove faults in multi-party environments. He has been applying these dependable computing principles to blockchain, healthcare, and learning systems.
The presentation will discuss recent breakthroughs in streamlined BFT consensus algorithms. Specifically, it will cover how leveraging trusted components can reduce communication phases and replication degrees (EuroSys'22, IPDPS'24, TDSC'24), how this approach surprisingly yielded a novel hierarchical consensus algorithm (INFOCOM'24), and how to defend against rollback attacks when trusted components lose their state (NDSS'26).
