Here are three papers describing different side-channel attacks against LLMs. “Remote Timing Attacks on Efficient Language Model Inference“: Abstract: Scaling up language models has significantly ...

A new technical paper titled “Memory DisOrder: Memory Re-orderings as a Timerless Side-channel” was published by researchers at University of Washington, Duke University, UC Santa Cruz, Raytheon and ...

The big picture: Side-channel attacks are designed to exploit specific types of information leaked by hardware devices, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive or secret data.

Mischief-makers can guess the subjects being discussed with LLMs using a side-channel attack, according to Microsoft researchers. They told The Register that models from some providers, including ...

A new technical paper titled “Breaking ECDSA with Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks: Challenges and Practicality on Modern Smartphones” was published by researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for ...

Side-channel attacks have emerged as a critical security concern in an era of increasing reliance on virtualised environments. These attacks exploit indirect leakage—such as subtle timing variations, ...

For a long time, it made sense to think about security threats in terms of vectors. There was phishing. There was credential ...

Leakage-resilient cryptography addresses the real-world challenge that cryptographic systems often leak inadvertent information through physical channels such as timing, power consumption or ...

Pixnapping could be used to steal private data, including 2FA codes. Side-channel attack abuses Google Android APIs to steal data on display. Flaw is partially patched, although a more complete fix is ...
