"BorderElliptic" reflects the confluence of physical, geometric boundaries and virtual or logical boundaries in computing and networking systems.
From network topology, all the way down to microprocessor design, borders serve as the critical dividing lines between private and public spheres — much like the mathematical boundary of an ellipse. These borders in the digital world are not just physical barriers but conceptual ones, marking the divide between secure systems and potential vulnerabilities. Our research focuses on examining these borders, exploring how developers, attackers and defenders navigate them, and how advancing techniques can secure or compromise the intended functionality of physical and logical structures. The elliptic metaphor highlights the fluid and evolving nature of these borders, much like the precise yet dynamic properties of an ellipse in geometry.
