Side-Channel Attack Resistance—2020Q3

PI(s): Heechul Yun

RESEARCHER(s): Michael Bechtel

HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED:

This project is developing OS and architecture techniques to defend against potential microarchitectural side-channel attacks on embedded computing platforms for safety-critical systems. The project covers the hardware problems of (1) resilient architectures (primary) and (2) security-metrics-driven evaluation, design, development and deployment.

PUBLIC ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS:

• Our paper "SpectreRewind: Leaking Secrets to Past Instructions" was accepted for publication at the fourth workshop on Attacks and Solutions in Hardware Security (ASHES 2020).
