Cache Storage Attacks
نویسنده
چکیده
Covert channels are a fundamental concept for cryptanalytic side-channel attacks. Covert timing channels use latency to carry data, and are the foundation for timing and cache-timing attacks. Covert storage channels instead utilize existing system bits to carry data, and are not historically used for cryptanalytic side-channel attacks. This paper introduces a new storage channel made available through cache debug facilities on some embedded microprocessors. This channel is then extended to a cryptanalytic side-channel attack on AES software.

Enhanced Flush+Reload Attack on AES
In cloud computing, multiple users can share the same physical machine that can potentially leak secret information, in particular when the memory de-duplication is enabled. Flush+Reload attack is a cache-based attack that makes use of resource sharing. T-table implementation of AES is commonly used in the crypto libraries like OpenSSL. Several Flush+Reload attacks on T-table implementat...
متن کاملReview on Cache-Coherent Algorithms with Multithreaded Computer Architectures
Cache-coherent multithreaded computer architectures has been envisioned as the next generation architecture of IT Enterprise. In contract to traditional solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical and personnel controls, Cloud Computing moves the application software and database to the large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be fully tr...

We propose several methods to improve computer security and privacy from architectural point of view. They provide strong protection as well as cost efficiency. In our first approach, we propose a new dynamic information flow method to protect systems from popular software attacks such as buffer overflow and format string attacks. In our second approach, we propose to deploy encryption schemes ...
