Side Channel Attack On Modular Exponentiation

OpenSSL is vulnerable to side channel attacks. The vulnerability exploits cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture, exposing RSA keys. However, an attacker can only exploit this only if he has control of code in a thread running on the same hyper-threaded core as the victi...

Vulnerability in OpenSSL - Side channel attack on modular exponentiation

A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same...
