A Review of Blocking Side-Channel Threats in Parallel Cloud Systems
Abstract: Side-channel attacks (SCAs) pose a critical security threat to parallel computing systems, particularly in shared cloud environments where multi-tenancy and resource contention create exploitable vulnerabilities. This study presents a comprehensive review of SCAs in parallel architectures, analyzing attack vectors such as cache-based exploits (e.g., Prime + Probe, Flush + Reload), timing attacks, power analysis, and network-based covert channels. We examine real-world cases including Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities that exposed fundamental …

VHDL Programming for Side-Channel Attack Countermeasures in IoT Security
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is expanding rapidly, connecting billions of devices across diverse domains. This interconnectedness, while offering unprecedented convenience and efficiency, also creates a fertile ground for security vulnerabilities. Among these threats, side-channel attacks (SCAs) pose a significant risk, particularly targeting the cryptographic implementations that underpin IoT security. SCAs exploit information leaked from the physical execution of cryptographic algorithms, such as power consumption, timing variations, and electromagnetic …

VHDL-Based Strategies for Protecting IoT Devices from Power and Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks: A Study
Abstract: The environment of the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly developing, linking billions of devices across a wide variety of disciplines. Furthermore, despite the fact that it provides an unprecedented level of convenience and efficiency, this interconnection also presents a fertile ground for security weaknesses. Side-channel attacks, also known as SCAs, are one of the dangers that pose a considerable risk. These attacks specifically target the cryptographic implementations that are …
