ROBBIN: Rowhammer-Based Backdoor Injection during Inference

Saion K. Roy, Yufei Wang, A. Adam Ding +1

Existing Rowhammer-based inference-time backdoor attacks design their bit-flip strategies purely at the algorithmic level, without accounting for the bit-flips that the underlying…

SLAC: Access-Driven CPU-to-GPU Side-channel Attacks via System-Level Cache on Apple Silicon

Tianhong Xu, Saion K. Roy, Ruyi Ding +2

Modern heterogeneous System-on-Chip designs integrate CPU cores and a GPU that share a last-level cache (LLC) or system-level cache (SLC). This sharing exposes a new cross-domain a…
