Introduction to Side Channel Attacks using CacheWarp

Cloud Commute by simplyblock

Episode notes

In this week's episode we have a very special guest, Michael Schwarz from CISPA. A security researcher specialized in CPU side-channel attacks. He explains how side-channel attacks work in general, but most specifically with the example of his team's most recent find: #CacheWarp. He was also involved in the finding of #Meltdown and #Spectre.

In this episode of Cloud Commute, Chris and Michael discuss:

  • Understanding side-channel attacks and their impact on cloud security
  • The role of CISPA in cybersecurity research and startup support
  • CacheWarp: A CPU vulnerability that enables privilege escalation
  • The future of hardware vulnerabilities and increasing complexity in CPUs
