VoltPillager attack compromises Intel SGX

A group of researchers from the University of Birmingham have demonstrated the VoltPillager attack, which can violate the confidentiality and integrity of data in Intel SGX enclaves. To implement this, the researchers learned to manipulate the processor core voltage. Let me remind you that with the release of the Skylake architecture, Intel introduced a technology… Continue reading VoltPillager attack compromises Intel SGX

Platypus attack allows stealing data from Intel processors

A group of scientists from the Technical University of Graz (Austria), the University of Birmingham, and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Germany (CISPA) have revealed details of a new Platypus attack that allows stealing data from Intel processors. The name is an acronym derived from Power Leakage Attacks: Targeting Your Protected User Secrets.… Continue reading Platypus attack allows stealing data from Intel processors
