Researchers from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev published a paper this week outlining a new side-channel attack against cryptographic computations. The researchers were able to successfully recover cryptographic keys by simply recording power LEDs through commercial video cameras of varying types. The... Read more...
Researchers have detailed the SQUIP attack, which is particularly worrisome for users of AMD Zen 1, Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors. Researchers were able measure the precise degree of Scheduler Queue Usage (i.e., occupancy) via Interference Probing, giving the attack its name. Using this technique, it was possible in...
