It is well known that there are micro-architectural vulnerabilities that enable an attacker to
use caches to exfiltrate secrets from a victim. These vulnerabilities exploit the fact that the …

Recent secure cache designs aim to mitigate side-channel attacks by randomizing the
mapping from memory addresses to cache sets. As vendors investigate deployment of these …

Cache randomization has recently been revived as a promising defense against conflict-
based cache side-channel attacks. As two of the latest implementations, CEASER-S and …

Timing channels in cache hierarchies are an important enabler in many microarchitectural
attacks. ScatterCache (USENIX 2019) is a protected cache architecture that randomizes the …

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 …

Cache partitioning is a principled defense against side-channel attacks on shared last-level
caches (LLCs). Such defenses allocate isolated cache regions to distrusting applications …

Modern processors expose software to information leakage through shared
microarchitectural state. One of the most severe leakage channels is cache contention …

Increased peripheral performance is causing strain on the memory subsystem of modern
processors. For example, available DRAM throughput can no longer sustain the traffic of a …

Although clouds have strong virtual memory isolation guarantees, cache attacks stemming
from shared caches have proved to be a large security problem. However, despite the past …

Cache based side-channel attacks exploit the fact that an adversary can setup the shared
cache memory (the last level cache in modern systems) into a known state and detect any …
