IACR's own CHES 2026 accepted-papers page independently confirms Bit2Watt's acceptance to TCHES 2026, Issue 4

Every existing Bit2Watt-derived note in this vault inherited its "accepted CHES 2026" status from arXiv's own self-reported comment field on the abstract page, without checking that status against the accepting venue itself. IACR's own "CHES 2026 Accepted Papers" page closes that gap: under the heading "TCHES 2026, Issue 4," it lists "Bit2Watt: A Cyber–Physical Vulnerability Exploiting GPU Workloads Across Power and Computing Infrastructures / Zhouhao Ji, Kaikai Pan, Wenyuan Xu / Zhejiang University" — matching title, all three author names, and institutional affiliation exactly against arXiv:2607.05993. The acceptance no longer rests solely on the authors' own arXiv metadata; it is confirmed at the accepting venue's own published program.

One dating nuance: Issues 1–3 of TCHES 2026 each show a "TCHESPDF" download link beside every listed entry on the same page; Issue 4's entries — Bit2Watt included — carry no such link as of this fetch (2026-09-10). This is consistent with TCHES's own Issue 4 timeline (submission 15 April 2026, notification 15 June 2026, camera-ready 14 July 2026, with formal publication typically following about a month after camera-ready): the acceptance decision is public, but Issue 4's journal publication may still be pending as of this capture.
