HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED: Resilient Architectures

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:

In this quarter, we have made the following progress.

  • We open-sourced a Javascript version of SpectreRewind PoC and a modified Meltdown attack using SpectreRewind.
  • We have continued to explore various microarchitectural attack and defense techniques on Intel and ARM platforms.
