Side-channel attacks on mobile devices have gained increasing attention since their
introduction in 2007. While traditional side-channel attacks, such as power analysis attacks …

Sharing memory pages between non-trusting processes is a common method of reducing
the memory footprint of multi-tenanted systems. In this paper we demonstrate that, due to a …

Recent work on cache attacks has shown that CPU caches represent a powerful source of
information leakage. However, existing attacks require manual identification of …

The Rowhammer bug allows unauthorized modification of bits in DRAM cells from
unprivileged software, enabling powerful privilege-escalation attacks. Sophisticated …

We present a new attack framework for conducting cache-based side-channel attacks and
demonstrate this framework in attacks between tenants on commercial Platform-as-a …

Recent advances have given rise to the popularity and success of cloud computing.
However, when outsourcing the data and business application to a third party causes the …

We introduce Flip Feng Shui (FFS), a new exploitation vector which allows an attacker to
induce bit flips over arbitrary physical memory in a fully controlled way. FFS relies on …

Memory deduplication, a well-known technique to reduce the memory footprint across virtual
machines, is now also a default-on feature inside the Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 …

Cloud services are rapidly gaining adoption due to the promises of cost efficiency,
availability, and on-demand scaling. To achieve these promises, cloud providers share …
