Speculative interference attacks: breaking invisible speculation schemes
ASPLOS '21: Proceedings of the 26th ACM International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating SystemsRecent security vulnerabilities that target speculative execution (e.g., Spectre) present a significant challenge for processor design. These highly publicized vulnerabilities use speculative execution to learn victim secrets by changing the cache ...
Speculative Taint Tracking (STT): A Comprehensive Protection for Speculatively Accessed Data
MICRO '52: Proceedings of the 52nd Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on MicroarchitectureSpeculative execution attacks present an enormous security threat, capable of reading arbitrary program data under malicious speculation, and later exfiltrating that data over microarchitectural covert channels. Since these attacks first rely on being ...
Declassiflow: A Static Analysis for Modeling Non-Speculative Knowledge to Relax Speculative Execution Security Measures
CCS '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications SecuritySpeculative execution attacks undermine the security of constant-time programming, the standard technique used to prevent microarchitectural side channels in security-sensitive software such as cryptographic code. Constant-time code must therefore also ...
