The cloud computing provides on demand services over the Internet with the help of a large
amount of virtual storage. The main features of cloud computing is that the user does not …

In the last few years, the appealing features of cloud computing have been fueling the
integration of cloud environments in the industry, which has been consequently motivating …

In early 2018, Meltdown first showed how to read arbitrary kernel memory from user space
by exploiting side-effects from transient instructions. While this attack has been mitigated …

Performance unpredictability is a major roadblock towards cloud adoption, and has
performance, cost, and revenue ramifications. Predictable performance is even more critical …

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 …

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 …

Microarchitectural timing channels expose hidden hardware states though timing. We survey
recent attacks that exploit microarchitectural features in shared hardware, especially as they …

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 …

Users of modern data-processing services such as tax preparation or genomic screening
are forced to trust them with data that the users wish to keep secret. Ryoan1 protects secret …

This paper details the construction of an access-driven side-channel attack by which a
malicious virtual machine (VM) extracts fine-grained information from a victim VM running on …
