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

In this article, we survey existing academic and commercial efforts to provide Field-
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) acceleration in datacenters and the cloud. The goal is a …

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 …

Serverless cloud computing handles virtually all the system administration operations
needed to make it easier for programmers to use the cloud. It provides an interface that …

Trusted execution environments, and particularly the Software Guard eXtensions (SGX)
included in recent Intel x86 processors, gained significant traction in recent years. A long …

In early 2018, Meltdown first showed how to read arbitrary kernel memory from user space
by exploiting side-effects from transient instructions. While this attack has been mitigated …

Modern processors use branch prediction and speculative execution to maximize
performance. For example, if the destination of a branch depends on a memory value that is …

We present Rogue In-flight Data Load (RIDL), a new class of speculative unprivileged and
constrained attacks to leak arbitrary data across address spaces and privilege boundaries …

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 …

Power side-channel attacks exploit variations in power consumption to extract secrets from a
device, eg, cryptographic keys. Prior attacks typically required physical access to the target …
