Serverless containers and functions are widely used for deploying and managing software
in the cloud. Their popularity is due to reduced cost of operations, improved utilization of …

The recent Spectre attack first showed how to inject incorrect branch targets into a victim
domain by poisoning microarchitectural branch prediction history. In this paper, we …

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 …

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown to tolerate" brain damage": cumulative
changes to the network's parameters (eg, pruning, numerical perturbations) typically result in …

Memory-disk synchronization is a critical technology for ensuring data correctness, integrity,
and security, especially in systems that handle sensitive information like financial …

The emergence of quantum computing presents a double-edged sword for cybersecurity.
While its immense power holds promise for advancements in various fields, it also threatens …

Cross-sectional studies have documented a positive association between academic
procrastination and problematic mobile phone use (PMPU). However, the specific predictive …

Meltdown and Spectre exploit microarchitectural changes the CPU makes during transient
out-of-order execution. Using side-channel techniques, these attacks enable leaking …

We study microarchitectural side-channel attacks and defenses on non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM) DIMMs. In this study, we first perform reverse-engineering of NVRAMs as …

There is a constant evolution of technology for cloud environments, including the
development of new memory storage technology, such as persistent memory. The newly …
