The invention of smart low-power devices and ubiquitous Internet connectivity have
facilitated the shift of many labour-intensive jobs into the digital domain. The shortage of …

The field of the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at a breakneck pace and its applications
are becoming increasingly sophisticated with time. Fault injection attacks on IoT systems are …

For over two decades, cache attacks have been shown to pose a significant risk to the
security of computer systems. In particular, a large number of works show that cache attacks …

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

Side-channel attacks that leak sensitive information through a computing device's interaction
with its physical environment have proven to be a severe threat to devices' security …

In this paper we revisit the Spectre v1 vulnerability and software-only countermeasures.
Specifically, we systematically investigate the performance penalty and security properties of …

BunnyHop: Exploiting the Instruction Prefetcher Page 1 This paper is included in the
Proceedings of the 32nd USENIX Security Symposium. August 9–11, 2023 • Anaheim, CA …

Microarchitectural vulnerabilities, such as Meltdown and Spectre, exploit subtle
microarchitecture state to steal the user's secret data and even compromise the operating …

Secret-dependent timing behavior in cryptographic implementations has resulted in
exploitable vulnerabilities, undermining their security. Over the years, numerous tools to …

Cryptography secures our online interactions, transactions, and trust. To achieve this goal,
not only do the cryptographic primitives and protocols need to be secure in theory, they also …
