Hardware timing channels are likely to leak information and easily ignored, which has gradually become the target of attacker. However, there are few investigations systematically analyse hardware timing channel detection and mitigation. In this article, we perform in-depth analysis for the detection technologies such as taint analysis, fuzzing, symbolic analysis and information statistics. And we further analyse some mitigation techniques such as taint analysis and algorithm analysis. Moreover, we compare and analyse the methodologies and characteristics of detecting and mitigating timing channel attack in recent years, and proposes a feasible perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
