Write Me and I’ll Tell You Secrets – Write-After-Write Effects On Intel CPUs
Jan Philipp Thoma, Tim E. Güneysu · 2022
There is a long history of side channels in the memory hierarchy of modern CPUs. Especially the cache side channel is widely used in the context of transient execution attacks and covert channels. Therefore, many secure cache architectures have been proposed. Most of these architectures aim to make the construction of eviction sets infeasible by randomizing the address-to-cache mapping.
