Side-channel attacks have become a severe threat to the confidentiality of computer
applications and systems. One popular type of such attacks is the microarchitectural attack …

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

Cache side-channel attacks can be leveraged as a building block in attacks leaking secrets
even in the absence of software bugs. Currently, there are no practical and generic …

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are fast becoming ubiquitous for their ability to attain good
accuracy in various machine learning tasks. A DNN's architecture (ie, its hyperparameters) …

Security architectures providing Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have been an
appealing research subject for a wide range of computer systems, from low-end embedded …

Conflict-based cache attacks can allow an adversary to infer the access pattern of a co-
running application by orchestrating evictions via cache conflicts. Such attacks can be …

Speculative execution attacks like Meltdown and Spectre work by accessing secret data in
wrong-path execution. Secrets are then transmitted and recovered by the attacker via a …

Website fingerprinting attacks use statistical analysis on network traffic to compromise user
privacy. The classical attack model used to evaluate website fingerprinting attacks assumes …

Many micro-architectural attacks rely on the capability of an attacker to efficiently find small
eviction sets: groups of virtual addresses that map to the same cache set. This capability has …

Recent attacks have broken process isolation by exploiting microarchitectural side channels
that allow indirect access to shared microarchitectural state. Enclaves strengthen the …
