Workshop
Timing attack, as its name, is an attack based on time - though different execution times of the program under different inputs, attackers could take advantage and leak crucial information. In this workshop, we will start with an example through a timing attack on a string compare program and then discuss some attack techniques and scenarios, including attacks against bad cryptographic algorithm implementations and browsers. Finally, we will introduce commonly used mitigations against timing attacks and how they fail.
Note: This workshop is intended for someone unfamiliar with the timing attack.
Recommended Equipments
