Abstract

Microarchitectural timing channels are a major threat to computer security. A set of OS mechanisms called time protection was recently proposed as a principled way of preventing information leakage through such channels and prototyped in the seL4 microkernel. We formalise time protection and the underlying hardware mechanisms in a way that allows linking them to the information-flow proofs that showed the absence of storage channels in seL4.
证明微架构时间通道的缺失
微体系结构定时信道是对计算机安全的主要威胁。一套称为时间保护的操作系统机制最近被提出,作为防止通过这些通道泄露信息的原则方法,并在seL4微内核中原型化。我们将时间保护和底层硬件机制形式化,以允许将它们链接到显示seL4中缺乏存储通道的信息流证明。
