Abstract: A decade later, we are still struggling with software-triggered
bit flips in DRAM, famously known as Rowhammer. Modern DRAM devices deploy
internal mitigations, but as we will show, they are all unfortunately
vulnerable to certain access patterns that effectively bypass these
mitigations. Since we cannot patch DRAM, these bit flips are going to stay
with us for many years to come, so it's important to ensure that the next
generation of mitigations provide principled security guarantees. We will
discuss our recent efforts in the construction of such mitigations inside
DRAM.

 

Bio: Kaveh Razavi is an assistant professor at ETH Zurich where he leads the
Computer Security Group. His research interests are in the area of systems
and security. More recently, he has been involved in the discovery and
exploitation of many high-profile hardware vulnerabilities in commodity
hardware components such as DRAM and CPU. These efforts have won him and his
collaborators many awards, including best paper and best practical paper at
IEEE S&P, three Pwnies in the most innovative research category at BlackHat,
a Dutch Veni and a SERI-funded ERC Starting Grant.
