Pensieve: Microarchitectural Modeling for Security Evaluation
Yuheng Yang, Thomas Bourgeat, Stella Lau, Mengjia Yan
Abstract
Traditional modeling approaches in computer architecture aim to obtain an accurate estimation of performance, area, and energy of a processor design. With the advent of speculative execution attacks and their security concerns, these traditional modeling techniques fall short when used for security evaluation of defenses against these attacks.
