Identifying and responding to a side-channel security threat
Abstract:
A method for managing memory within a computing system. The method includes one or more computer processors identifying a range of physical memory addresses that store a first data. The method further includes determining whether a second data is stored within the range of physical memory addresses that stores the first data. The method further includes responding to determining that the second data is stored within the range of physical memory addresses that store the first data, by determining whether a process accessing the second data is identified as associated with a side-channel attack. The method further includes responding to determining that the process accessing the second data is associated with the side-channel attack, by initiating a response associated with the process accessing the second data.
