The architecture and security communities will remember 2018 as the year of Spectre and Meltdown. Speculative execution, which has been considered for decades to be a harmless and valuable performance feature, has now been discovered as having dangerous industry-wide security implications, affecting operating systems, browsers, virtual machines, trusted execution environments (SGX), as well as others.
In this talk, I will cover the ideas behind the recent Spectre, Meltdown and Foreshadow attacks as well as their implications on computer security. I will also discuss defenses and future work. The talk will be self-contained and include live demonstrations.
