Chicago startup Newtonian Standard says it has identified a memory behavior in NVIDIA GPUs that could serve as the foundation for a new kind of hardware-level security. J.P. O’Donnell, the company’s founder and a former Okta engineer, says he spent 18 months characterizing the behavior across NVIDIA Turing, Lovelace and Blackwell GPU architectures. The company… The post A startup says it found hi…
Whether caused by cosmic radiation, voltage glitches, or adversarial attacks, bit flips threaten data integrity, safety critical operation, and the foundations of hardware security. The post The One Bit Problem That Can Break a System appeared first on Semiconductor Engineering .
33rd USENIX Security Symposium was held in Philadelphia in August 2024. Following recent trends, the symposium featured several sessions dedicated to hardware and microarchitectural security. The program includes papers targeting side-channels and covert channels through prefetchers and branch predictors, transient execution attacks and defenses, adversarial attacks, memory exploitation attacks, …
