Security Research: Technical Paper Round-Up


A number of hardware security-related technical papers were presented at recent conferences, including the August 2022 USENIX Security Symposium and IEEE’s International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST). Topics include side-channel attacks and defenses (including on-chip mesh interconnect attacks), heterogeneous attacks on cache hierarchies, rowhammer attacks and mitig... » read more

Heterogenous Computing & Cache Attacks


Researchers at imec-COSIC, KU Leuven presented this paper titled "Double Trouble: Combined Heterogeneous Attacks on Non-Inclusive Cache Hierarchies" at the USENIX Security Symposium in Boston in August 2022. Note, this is a prepublication paper. Abstract: "As the performance of general-purpose processors faces diminishing improvements, computing systems are increasingly equipped with domai... » read more
