HPCA 2016: CATalyst: Defeating Last-Level Cache Side Channel Attacks in Cloud Computing
Working with colleagues from Princeton University, NICTA and Intel we show how to use the Intel Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) to provide protection from cache-based side-channel attacks. CAT is a hardware cache-partitioning mechanism for enforcing quality of service with respect to cache occupancy. However due to the small number of partitions it cannot be used […]
