120 Domain-Specific Languages for Security

Markus Krausz, Sven Peldszus, Francesco Regazzoni +2

Security engineering, from security requirements engineering to the implementation of cryptographic protocols, is often supported by domain-specific languages (DSLs). Unfortunately…

On The Effect of Replacement Policies on The Security of Randomized Cache Architectures

Moritz Peters, Nicolas Gaudin, Jan Philipp Thoma +4

Randomizing the mapping of addresses to cache entries has proven to be an effective technique for hardening caches against contention-based attacks like Prime+Prome. While attacks…

Write Me and I'll Tell You Secrets -- Write-After-Write Effects On Intel CPUs

Jan Philipp Thoma, Tim Güneysu

There is a long history of side channels in the memory hierarchy of modern CPUs. Especially the cache side channel is widely used in the context of transient execution attacks and…

Towards Secure Composition of Integrated Circuits and Electronic Systems: On the Role of EDA

Johann Knechtel, Elif Bilge Kavun, Francesco Regazzoni +10

Modern electronic systems become evermore complex, yet remain modular, with integrated circuits (ICs) acting as versatile hardware components at their heart. Electronic design auto…
