Automatic Extraction of Secrets from the Transistor Jungle using Laser-Assisted Side-Channel Attacks
(usenix.org)
The security of modern electronic devices relies on secret keys stored on secure hardware modules as the root-of-trust (RoT). Extracting those keys would break the security of the entire system. As shown before, sophisticated side-channel analysis (SCA) attacks, using chip failure analysis (FA) tech...
Authors claim to eliminate the side channels with a low-overhead technique that works across many languages. Their experiments apply it to C, C++, and Java programs.
Abstract: "This paper presents a new side channel that affects mixed-signal chips used in widespread wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth and WiFi. This increasingly common type of chip includes the radio transceiver along with digital logic on the same
integrated circuit. In such sy...

Abstract: "Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are commonly integrated with
computing devices to enhance the performance and capabilities
of graphical workloads. In addition, they are increasingly being
integrated in data centers and clouds such that they can be used
to accelerate data intensive wo...
