MeltdownPrime and SpectrePrime: Automatically-Synthesized Attacks Exploiting Invalidation-Based Coherence Protocols
"The recent Meltdown [9] and Spectre [8] attacks highlight
the importance of automated verification techniques for identifying hardware security vulnerabilities. We have developed a tool for automatically synthesizing microarchitecture-specific programs capable of producing any user-specified hardware execution pattern of interest."
