Cache Based Side Channel Attacks
During the 2nd semester of 2010, i was attending the course “Advanced Computer Architecture“, under the teaching of Dr. G. Keramidas. For the course requirements, i decided to make a short presentation about Side Channel Attacks in Cache implementations. After the appropriate introduction and theory, i presented two different cache based side channel attacks and how to prevent from them. The prevention techniques proposed by Z. Wang & R. B. Lee in their publication “New Cache Designs for Thwarting Software Cache-based Side Channel Attacks“.
The presentation includes:
- Introduction to Cryptography & Modern Cryptanalysis through Side-Channel Attacks
- Define the Thread & Attacks Model
- Proposed prevention models
- Evaluation of the propositions
- Conclusions
