side-channel attacks

Watch this: Want more “speculative execution” bugs? You’re gonna be in a great mood all day ...

This is another attack that convinces the AI to ignore road signs: Due to the way CMOS cameras operate, rapidly changing light from fast flashing diodes can be used to vary the ...

It’s yet another hardware side-channel attack: The threat resides in the chips’ data memory-dependent prefetcher, a hardware optimization that predicts the memory addresses of data that running code is likely to access ...

In the realm of cybersecurity, constant vigilance is paramount as threat actors perpetually seek novel ways to exploit vulnerabilities. Recent research has shed light on a concerning trend: the potential misuse of ...

Mic Check: Researchers reconstruct your fingerprint by listening to you swipe ...

Really interesting research: “Lend Me Your Ear: Passive Remote Physical Side Channels on PCs.” Abstract: We show that built-in sensors in commodity PCs, such as microphones, inadvertently capture electromagnetic side-channel leakage from ...

This is a clever new side-channel attack: The first attack uses an Internet-connected surveillance camera to take a high-speed video of the power LED on a smart card reader­—or of an attached ...

A group of Swiss researchers have published an impressive security analysis of Threema. We provide an extensive cryptographic analysis of Threema, a Swiss-based encrypted messaging application with more than 10 million users ...

Yet another smartphone side-channel attack: “EarSpy: Spying Caller Speech and Identity through Tiny Vibrations of Smartphone Ear Speakers“: Abstract: Eavesdropping from the user’s smartphone is a well-known threat to the user’s safety ...

Okay, it’s an obscure threat. But people are researching it: Our models and experimental results in a controlled lab setting show it is possible to reconstruct and recognize with over 75 percent ...
