Side-channel attacks have become a severe threat to the confidentiality of computer
applications and systems. One popular type of such attacks is the microarchitectural attack …

Cache side-channel attacks can be leveraged as a building block in attacks leaking secrets
even in the absence of software bugs. Currently, there are no practical and generic …

Modern operating systems fundamentally rely on the strict isolation of user applications from
the kernel. This isolation is enforced by the hardware. On Intel CPUs, this isolation has been …

Timing attacks are among the most devastating side-channel attacks, allowing remote
attackers to retrieve secret material, including cryptographic keys, with relative ease. In …

The past decade has seen a plethora of side-channel attacks on various CPU components.
Each new attack typically follows a whitebox analysis approach, which involves (i) …

In the era of microarchitectural side channels, vendors scramble to deploy mitigations for
transient execution attacks, but leave traditional side-channel attacks against sensitive …

To protect cryptographic implementations from side-channel vulnerabilities, developers must
adopt constant-time programming practices. As these can be error-prone, many side …

Microarchitectural side channels expose unprotected software to information leakage
attacks where a software adversary is able to track runtime behavior of a benign process …

In recent years, microarchitectural attacks have been demonstrated to be a powerful attack
class. However, as our empirical analysis shows, there are numerous implementation …

Today, a vast amount of sensitive data worth millions of dollars is processed in untrusted
data centers; hence, the confidentiality and integrity of the code and data are of paramount …
