Mitigating Memory Controller Side Channels
Memory timing side channels, where attackers utilize contention within DRAM controllers to infer a victim’s secrets, pose an important challenge to secure computation in shared memory environments. Attacks utilizing these side channels are broad and highly effective, as memory controllers offer a …

Hardware Security with Electromagnetic Side Channels
… is rapidly gaining prominence as a major consideration during the design process. Particularly, physical side channels that allow reverse engineering of inputs, operation states, and private information must be characterized and protected against. In this thesis, we focus on electromagnetic …

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 …

Instruction-level power consumption simulator for modeling simple timing and power side channels in a 32-bit RISC-V micro-processor
… use, the simulator helps assess vulnerability to side channel attacks by accepting input power consumption values. The power consumption graph of any disassembled RISC-V code can be obtained if the power consumption of each instruction is given as an input; then, from the output power consumption …

Broad-based side-channel defenses for modern microprocessors
… of such information due to so-called side channels, with which attackers can infer sensitive information by monitoring program execution. Various side channels exist such as execution time, power consumption, exceptions, or micro-architectural components such as caches and branch …

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 …

Oreo: Protecting ASLR Against Microarchitectural Attacks
… program contents in memory. Microarchitectural side channels have been shown to defeat ASLR through various hardware mechanisms. We systematically analyze existing microarchitectural attacks and identify multiple leakage paths. Given the vast attack surface exposed by ASLR, it is challenging to …

A monitoring framework for side-channel information leaks
… What is missing, however, is the consideration of implicit information flows, or side-channels. One significant factor which has been holding back development on side-channel detection and mitigation is the very broad scope of the topic. Research in this topic has revealed …

Towards Secure and Reliable Distributed Systems with Minimized Trust
… (AWS) data centers. We leverage two temperature side channels to capture the information leakage from AWS data centers. These two side channels essentially exploit the temperature effect on FPGAs and DRAMs. After comparing data from both side channels, we believe the information revealed by the …

Advanced Network Inference Techniques Based on Network Protocol Stack Information Leaks
Side channels are channels of implicit information flow that can be used to find out information that is not allowed to flow through explicit channels. This thesis focuses on network side channels, where information flow occurs in the TCP/IP network stack implementations of operating systems. I …

Evaluating Floodplain Hydrologic Connectivity, Yakima River, WA
River side-channels provide habitat for threatened fish, and restoring such habitats is a goal of resource managers. Resource managers use side-channel reconnection projects to increase the quality and quantity of aquatic floodplain habitat, and evaluating the effectiveness of reconnection is a …

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 …

Digital Receipts: A System to Detect the Compromise of Digital Certificates
… It leverages dual logging messages sent via side channels to a trusted third party. This third party correlates these messages and automatically detects when an imposter presents a certificate based on the collected evidence.

Towards Cycle-Level Verification of Constant-Time Cryptography
… library functions. However, many timing side-channel attacks, which leak information when execution time depends on secrets, have been found in popular cryptographic libraries, such as OpenSSL. Formal verification aims to rule out timing side channels in cryptographic software. This …

Metadata-Aware Memory Security
… for irregular workloads. Another challenge is side channels caused by memory sharing, where attackers infer sensitive data through cache or DRAM reuse. As a result, cloud providers often disable memory sharing, sacrificing space (capacity) for security. This thesis focuses on reducing the cost …
