Session

DescriptionModern SoCs expose a rapidly expanding hardware attack surface that bridges memory, microarchitecture, and physical leakage. This session presents cutting-edge methodologies targeting DRAM disturbance (RowHammer), EM emanations, and microarchitectural structures like TLB and page-table walkers. It features cross-core leakage analyses on Apple silicon and practical fault exploitation of post-quantum primitives. Balancing offense with defense, the session introduces hardware-assisted monitoring and compiler-level mitigations against transient execution. Together, these works advance the characterization of hardware-rooted threats, providing actionable insights for securing the next generation of high-performance computing platforms.
