In the "Gates not his cocky self at RSA conference" Roger Smith article, the author says: [Adi Shamir] cautioned that many of the current generation of Intel processors that use multi-threading and multi-core technology seem to be vulnerable to timing attacks that can use unprivileged threads to find keys stored in their caches.
I hadn't known that one process could read the memory of a second process running on a different hyper-thread or a different core through a cleverly timed cache hits (which is what I think this sentence says). Does anyone have further information on this or mitigation strategies? -Michael Heyman --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
