Defending against side-channel attacks : DynamoREA
… information about their applications through side-channels caused by micro-architectural side-effects. Through these side-channels, attackers can launch timing attacks by observing how long an application takes to execute and using this timing information to exfiltrate secrets from the …

Software Protection Against Fault and Side Channel Attacks
… is worsened by the possibility of implementation attacks. Despite well formulated cryptosystems being used, the underlying hardware can often undermine any security proven on paper. If a secret key is at play, an adversary has a chance of revealing it by simply looking at the power variation. …

Protecting enclaves from side-channel attacks through physical isolation
… the difficulty in protecting enclaves from side-channel attacks in the face of privileged software. I propose a threat model, a methodology to analyze side channels and a new enclave system that adheres to this threat model. Due to the complexities of modern superscalar processors, I …

Secure Circuits: Efficient hardware countermeasures against physical side-channel attacks
The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and IoT devices has seen unprecedented growth in recent times. AI engines demand more processing capabilities while simultaneously handling sensitive user information and proprietary IP. Concurrently, IoT devices generate vast amounts of sensitive data, …

Hardening Trusted Execution Environments Against Microarchitectural Side-Channel Attacks: A Constructive Approach
… However, the discovery of microarchitectural side-channel and transient execution attacks [6–10] has severely undermined these security guarantees. These attacks exploit shared hardware resources and speculative execution to leak sensitive information across security boundaries, effectively …

Cauldron: a framework to defend against cache-based side-channel attacks in clouds
Cache-based side-channel attacks have garnered much interest in recent literature. Such attacks are particularly relevant for cloud computing platforms due to high levels of multi-tenancy. In fact, there exists recent work that demonstrates such attacks on real cloud platforms (e.g., DotCloud). In …

Algorithm-Agnostic System for Measuring Susceptibility of Cryptographic Accelerators to Power Side Channel Attacks
… under active research is the use of Power Side Channels (PSCs), which involve precisely measuring the power consumption of a device over time. However, current research is fairly disjoint, without a standardized set of tools for quantifying protection techniques. This leads to the …

Adaptive chosen all inputs model for analyzing key derivation functions against bit-flip and timing side-channel attacks
… the design of KDF may withstand any types of attacks. Nowadays, there are five security models used to analyze the security of KDF proposals. However, none of these security models take into account the KDF analysis against the bit-flipping attack and timing side-channel attack. Therefore, …

Cache-based side channels: Modern attacks and defenses
"Security and trustworthiness are key considerations in designing modern processor hardware. It has been shown that, among various data leakage attacks, side channel attacks are one of the most effective and stealthy ones. In a side channel attack, an attacker can steal encryption keys, monitor …

Design Techniques for Side-channel Resistant Embedded Software
Side Channel Attacks (SCA) are a class of passive attacks on cryptosystems that exploit implementation characteristics of the system. Currently, a lot of research is focussed towards developing countermeasures to side channel attacks. In this thesis, we address two challenges that are an inherent …
