Cache side-channel attacks lead to severe security threats to the settings where a CPU is
shared across users, eg, in the cloud. The majority of attacks rely on sensing the micro …

With the increasing proliferation of hardware accelerators and the predicted continued
increase in the heterogeneity of future computing systems, it is necessary to understand the …

State-of-the-art remote direct memory access (RDMA) technologies have shown to be
vulnerable against attacks by in-network adversaries, as they provide only a weak form of …

Recent years have witnessed the wide adoption of RDMA in the cloud to accelerate first-
party workloads and achieve cost savings by freeing up CPU cycles. Now cloud providers …

Compute and memory are tightly coupled within each server in traditional datacenters.
Large-scale datacenter operators have identified this coupling as a root cause behind …

PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect express) protocol is the de facto protocol to
bridge CPU and peripheral devices like GPU, NIC, and SSD drive. There is an increasing …

Remote direct memory access (RDMA) has gained popularity in cloud datacenters. In
RDMA, clients bypass server CPUs and directly read/write remote memory. Recent findings …

RDMA communication in virtual private cloud (VPC) networks is still a challenging job due to
the difficulty in fulfilling all virtualization requirements without sacrificing RDMA …

RDMA is increasingly popular for low-latency communication in datacenters, marking a
major change in how we build distributed systems. Unfortunately, as we pursue significant …

As offered by the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), trusted execution enables
confidentiality and integrity for off-site deployed services. Thereby, securing key-value stores …
