Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX) promises an isolated execution environment,
protected from all software running on the machine. As such, numerous works have sought …

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

The drive to create thinner, lighter, and more energy efficient devices has resulted in modern
SoCs being forced to balance a delicate tradeoff between power consumption, heat …

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) measures single-bit differences between data values
used in computer systems by statistical analysis of power traces. In this paper, we show that …

Deep Neural Network (DNN) models are often deployed in resource-sharing clouds as
Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) to provide inference services. To steal model …

To protect cryptographic implementations from side-channel vulnerabilities, developers must
adopt constant-time programming practices. As these can be error-prone, many side …

Violating the Von Neumann sequential processing principle at the microarchitectural level is
commonplace to reach high performing CPU hardware—violations are safe as long as …

Modern processors dynamically control their operating frequency to optimize resource
utilization, maximize energy savings, and conform to system-defined constraints. If, during …

The recent Hertzbleed disclosure demonstrates how remote-timing analysis can reveal
secret information previously only accessible to local-power analysis. At worst, this …

Microarchitectural attacks typically rely on precise timing sources to uncover short-lived
secret-dependent activity in the processor. In response, many browsers and even CPU …
