Power side-channel attacks exploit data-dependent variations in a CPU's power
consumption to leak secrets. In this paper, we show that on modern Intel (and AMD) x86 …

The drive to create thinner, lighter, and more energy efficient devices has resulted in modern
SoCs being forced to balance a delicate tradeoff between power consumption, heat …

Compilers often weaken or even discard software-based countermeasures commonly used
to protect programs against side-channel attacks; worse, they may also introduce …

Trusted execution environment (TEE) offers data protection against malicious system
software. However, the TEE (eg, Intel SGX) threat model exacerbates information leakage as …

How will future microarchitectures impact the security of existing cryptographic
implementations? As we cannot keep reducing the size of transistors, chip vendors have …

Software-based power side-channel attacks are a significant security threat to modern
computer systems, enabling adversaries to extract confidential information. Existing attacks …

Covert channels and side channels bypass architectural security boundaries. Numerous
works have studied covert channels and side channels in software and hardware. Thus …

Microarchitectural side-channel attacks have shaken the foundations of modern processor
design. The cornerstone defense against these attacks has been to ensure that security …

Interrupts are critical hardware resources for OS kernels to schedule processes. As they are
related to system activities, interrupts can be used to mount various side-channel attacks (ie …

Web privacy is challenged by pixel-stealing attacks, which allow attackers to extract content
from embedded iframes and to detect visited links. To protect against multiple pixelstealing …
