In this paper, first, a broad overview of existing covert channel communication-based
security attacks is provided. Such covert channels establish a communication link between …

In recent years, security, power consumption, and performance have become the important
issues in embedded SoCs' design. With the growing number of embedded devices for …

With increasing interest in multi-core systems, such as any communication systems, infra-
structures can become targets for information leakages via covert channel communication …

Exploiting thermal coupling among the cores of a processor to secretly communicate
sensitive information is a serious threat in mobile, desktop, and server platforms. Existing …

In a many-core chip, thermal flux and thermal correlation among the cores can be explored
to create a thermal covert channel (TCC). In this paper, we provide an analytical model to …

In thermal covert channel (TCC) attacks, malicious applications seek to leak private
information in a stealthy and hard-to-detect manner. State-of-the-art approaches for TCC …

Multicore systems are vulnerable to thermal covert channel attacks as the increased power
consumption may remain undetected, while occurring alongside normal, CPU-intensive …

Thermal covert channel (TCC) attack poses severe threat to many-core systems, which leaks
sensitive data secretly by using heat transfer as the communication media. There are a few …

In response to growing security challenges facing many-core systems imposed by thermal
covert channel (TCC) attacks, a number of threshold-based detection methods have been …

Modern embedded systems need to cater for several needs depending upon the application
domain in which they are deployed. For example, mixed-critically needs to be considered for …
