Deconstructing new cache designs for thwarting software cache-based side channel attacks
Software cache-based side channel attacks present a serious threat to computer systems. Previously proposed countermeasures were either too costly for practical use or only effect...

A novel cache architecture with enhanced performance and security
—Caches ideally should have low miss rates and short access times, and should be power efficient at the same time. Such design goals are often contradictory in practice. Recent f...

New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL and Necessary Software Countermeasures
Abstract. Software based side-channel attacks allow an unprivileged spy process to extract secret information from a victim (cryptosystem) process by exploiting some indirect leaka...
