Remote Side-Channel Attacks

Supervisor(s): Prof. Avi Mendelson
Project Report #1

Traditionally, side-channel attacks are performed using measurement tools which are attached to the DUT (device under test).
Recently, we published a paper “The Use of Performance-Countersto Perform Side-Channel Attacks” that shows that under some conditions, a user can use performance counters to perform remote attacks (i.e., without physical access to the device).
This project aims to extend the experiments being presented in the paper and extend the usage model from Intel X86 to ARM-based platforms.
