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 …

To stop side channel attacks on CPU caches that have allowed attackers to leak secret
information and break basic security mechanisms, the security community has developed a …

Microarchitectural timing channels expose hidden hardware states though timing. We survey
recent attacks that exploit microarchitectural features in shared hardware, especially as they …

We introduce the first microarchitectural side channel attacks that leverage contention on the
CPU ring interconnect. There are two challenges that make it uniquely difficult to exploit this …

As smart, embedded devices are increasingly integrated into our daily life, the security of
these devices has become a major concern. The ARM processor family, which powers more …

With the advent of network function virtualization (NFV), outsourcing network processing to
the cloud is growing in popularity amongst enterprises and organizations. Such outsourcing …

We propose a method, based on program analysis and transformation, for eliminating timing
side channels in software code that implements security-critical applications. Our method …

There is a constant evolution of technology for cloud environments, including the
development of new memory storage technology, such as persistent memory. The newly …

Real-world cryptographic code is often written in a subset of C intended to execute in
constant-time, thereby avoiding timing side channel vulnerabilities. This C subset eschews …

Modern Intel processors use an undisclosed hash function to map memory lines into last-
level cache slices. In this work we develop a technique for reverse-engineering the hash …
