  • Automated Analysis of Speculation Windows in Spectre Attacks
    Barbara Gigerl Automated Analysis of Speculation Windows in Spectre Attacks MASTER'S THESIS to achieve the university degree of Diplom-Ingenieurin Master's degree programme: Software Engineering and Management submitted to Graz University of Technology Supervisor: Daniel Gruss Institute for Applied Information Processing and Communication Graz, May 2019 i AFFIDAVIT I declare that I have authored this thesis independently, that I have not used other than the declared sources/resources, and that I have explicitly indicated all material which has been quoted either literally or by content from the sources used. The text document uploaded to TUGRAZonline is identical to the present master's thesis. Date Signature EIDESSTATTLICHE ERKLARUNG¨ Ich erkl¨arean Eides statt, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstst¨andig verfasst, andere als die angegebenen Quellen/Hilfsmittel nicht benutzt, und die den benutzten Quellen w¨ortlich und inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht habe. Das in TUGRAZonline hochgeladene Textdokument ist mit der vorliegenden Masterarbeit identisch. Datum Unterschrift Abstract Speculative execution is a feature integrated into most modern CPUs. Although intro- duced as a way to enhance the performance of processors, the release of Spectre attacks showed that it is a significant security risk. Since CPUs from various vendors, includ- ing Intel, AMD, ARM, and IBM, implement speculative execution, all different kinds of devices are affected by Spectre attacks, for example, desktop PCs and smartphones. Spectre attacks exploit the branch prediction mechanisms of the CPU and then use a cache covert channel to leak secret data. Several attack variants have been discovered since the release, including Spectre-PHT which targets the Pattern History Table of the CPU.

  • Summit Press
    Summit Press During the second annual OpenPOWER Summit, held April 5-8 in San Jose, the OpenPOWER Foundation made a set of announcements and showcased more than 50 new member innovations that advance its commitment to open technologies in the data center. The solutions and innovations showcased are built around OpenPOWER technology and the Open Compute reference architecture. OpenPOWER members Rackspace and the University of Michigan also announced the deployment of OpenPOWER systems. Media coverage from OpenPOWER Summit resulted in over 134 stories and reached an audience of over 285 million individuals based on the latest data provided by Cision. Highlights and full coverage are below. Google and Rackspace OpenCompute Collaboration o "Google also said it’s developing a data center server with cloud-computing company Rackspace Hosting Inc. that runs on a new IBM OpenPower chip called Power9, rather than Intel processors that go into most servers. The final design will be given away through Facebook Inc.’s Open Compute Project, so other companies can build their data center servers this way, too." – Bloomberg o "The search giant [Google] said on Wednesday that, along with cloud computing company Rackspace, it’s co-developing new server designs that are based on IBM chip technology." – Fortune Rackspace Barreleye o “Rackspace has already designed one Power-based server, called Barreleye, that it plans to put in production in the coming months, offering cloud services to its cloud customers.”-- CIO IBM OpenCompute o “Big Blue will also
