In cryptography, a timing attack is a side-channel attack in which the attacker attempts to compromise a cryptosystem by analyzing the time taken to execute cryptographic algorithms. Every logical operation in a computer takes time to execute, and the time can differ based on the input; with precise measurements of the time for each operation ...
Timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks, and sound are examples of extra information which could be exploited to facilitate side-channel attacks. Some side-channel attacks require technical knowledge of the internal operation of the system, although others such as differential power analysis are effective as black-box attacks.
TLBleed is a cryptographic side-channel attack that uses machine learning to exploit a timing side-channel via the translation look-aside buffer (TLB) on modern microprocessors that use simultaneous multithreading.
The starting point of the white paper is that of a side-channel timing attack [58] applied to the branch prediction machinery of modern microprocessors with speculative execution. While at the architectural level documented in processor data books, any results of misprediction are specified to be discarded after the fact, the resulting ...
Cache timing attacks also known as Cache attacks are a type of side-channel attack that allows attackers to gain information about a system purely by tracking cache access made by the victim system in a shared environment.
One of the earliest known instances of a pixel-stealing attack was described by Paul Stone in a white paper presented at the Black Hat Briefings conference in 2013. [6] Stone's approach exploited a quirk in how browsers rendered images encoded in the SVG format.
It is a new variant of Serge Vaudenay's padding oracle attack that was previously thought to have been fixed, that uses a timing side-channel attack against the message authentication code (MAC) check stage in the TLS algorithm to break the algorithm in a way that was not fixed by previous attempts to mitigate Vaudenay's attack.
The attack is a kind of timing attack, bearing similarity to previous power analysis vulnerabilities. Hertzbleed is more dangerous than power analysis, as it can be exploited by a remote attacker. Disclosure of cryptographic keys is the main concern regarding the exploit but other uses of the attack have been demonstrated since its initial ...
