Effective Elements List And Transitive Natures Of UPF Commands
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 15 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

Although UPF is very well defined through IEEE 1801 LRM, it is often difficult to comprehend many primitive and inherent features of individual UPF commands-options or relations between different varieties of UPF commands-options. In this paper, we provide a simplistic approach to find inherent links between UPF commands-options through their transitive nature. We also explain how these inheren... » read more

Protecting Computing Systems in a Post-Meltdown/ Spectre World
By Rambus - 15 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

When Jann Horn of Google’s Project Zero posted a detailed blog titled “Reading privileged memory with a side-channel,” it set off a firestorm of activity as the post confirmed that secret information inside a computer could be accessed via two different attacks, Meltdown and Spectre. Essentially, both attacks utilize CPU data cache timing to efficiently exploit and leak informatio... » read more
