A timing channel is a communication channel that can transfer information to a
receiver/decoder by modulating the timing behavior of an entity. Examples of this entity …

We describe several software side-channel attacks based on inter-process leakage through
the state of the CPU's memory cache. This leakage reveals memory access patterns, which …

This paper demonstrates complete AES key recovery from known-plaintext timings of a
network server on another computer. This attack should be blamed on the AES design, not …

We describe several software side-channel attacks based on inter-process leakage through
the state of the CPU's memory cache. This leakage reveals memory access patterns, which …

In this paper we describe a differential fault attack technique working against Substitution-
Permutation Networks, and requiring very few faulty ciphertexts. The fault model used is …

This paper describes several novel timing attacks against the common table-driven software
implementation of the AES cipher. We define a general attack strategy using a simplified …

In this paper we describe several fault attacks on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
First, using optical/eddy current fault induction attacks as recently publicly presented by …

This paper presents the results of applying an attack against the Data Encryption Standard
(DES) implemented in some applications, using side-channel information based on CPU …

We introduce new methods for detecting control-flow side channel attacks, transforming C
source code to eliminate such attacks, and checking that the transformed code is free of …

Computer architects employ a series of performance optimizations at the micro-architecture
level. These optimizations are meant to be invisible to the programmer but they are implicitly …
