Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) have been widely used in many security-critical
applications. The popularity of TEEs derives from its high security and trustworthiness …

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 …

Meltdown: reading kernel memory from user space Page 1 46 COMMUNICATIONS OF THE

Research on transient execution attacks including Spectre and Meltdown showed that
exception or branch misprediction events might leave secret-dependent traces in the CPU's …

The security of computer systems fundamentally relies on memory isolation, eg, kernel
address ranges are marked as non-accessible and are protected from user access. In this …

Meltdown and Spectre enable arbitrary data leakage from memory via various side
channels. Short-term software mitigations for Meltdown are only a temporary solution with a …

We present an effective implementation of the Prime+ Probe side-channel attack against the
last-level cache. We measure the capacity of the covert channel the attack creates and …

In modern computer systems, user processes are isolated from each other by the operating
system and the hardware. Additionally, in a cloud scenario it is crucial that the hypervisor …

We propose an online object-level SLAM system which builds a persistent and accurate 3D
graph map of arbitrary reconstructed objects. As an RGB-D camera browses a cluttered …

Software side channel attacks have become a serious concern with the recent rash of
attacks on speculative processor architectures. Most attacks that have been demonstrated …
