The development of cloud infrastructures inspires the emergence of cloud-native computing.
As the most promising architecture for deploying microservices, serverless computing has …

Serverless containers and functions are widely used for deploying and managing software
in the cloud. Their popularity is due to reduced cost of operations, improved utilization of …

Trusted execution environments (TEEs) see rising use in devices from embedded sensors to
cloud servers and encompass a range of cost, power constraints, and security threat model …

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there is an increasing need to
prioritize their security, especially in the context of identity and authentication mechanisms …

Dynamic frequency and voltage scaling features have been introduced to manage ever-

The recent Spectre attack first showed how to inject incorrect branch targets into a victim
domain by poisoning microarchitectural branch prediction history. In this paper, we …

Speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities in micro-architecture processors have
raised concerns about the security of Intel SGX. To understand clearly the security impact of …

Meltdown and Spectre enable arbitrary data leakage from memory via various side
channels. Short-term software mitigations for Meltdown are only a temporary solution with a …

All Spectre attacks so far required local code execution. We present the first fully remote
Spectre attack. For this purpose, we demonstrate the first access-driven remote Evict+ …
