Abstract

Panel Overview Known security vulnerabilities across the computing stack have caused significant concern, even requiring extensive countermeasures and system patches to address. As an example, the Meltdown and Spectre attacks, which were disclosed in January 2018, exploit architectural and circuit vulnerabilities to allow a malicious process access to secrets stored in the memory of another running program. Although software-based patches were distributed, true hardware solutions are only available through replacement.

With such high costs to protect data and patch systems after the fact, the question of securing against an unknown attack space becomes even more critical. The panel aims to address this critical issue, while introducing related considerations including 1) protecting resource constrained systems, 2) countermeasures against multifaceted attacks in the context of an unknown future vulnerability, and 3) trade-offs in circuit and system design to protect critical data and functions.

Data space randomization for securing cyber-physical systems
Abstract
Non-control data attacks have become widely popular for circumventing authentication mechanisms in websites, servers, and personal computers. These attacks can be executed against cyber-physical systems (CPSs) in which not only authentication is ...
Attacking and Securing the Clock Randomization and Duplication Side-Channel Attack Countermeasure
Foundations and Practice of Security
Abstract
The emergence of deep learning has revolutionized side-channel attacks, making them a serious threat to cryptographic systems. Clock randomization is a well-established mitigation technique against side-channel attacks that, when combined with ...
