The network interface cards (NICs) of modern computers are changing to adapt to faster data rates and to help with the scaling issues of general-purpose CPU technologies. Among the ongoing innovations, the inclusion of programmable accelerators on the NIC's data path is particularly interesting, since it provides the opportunity to offload some of...
The continuous quest for performance pushed processors to incorporate elements such as multiple cores, caches, acceleration units, or speculative execution that make systems very complex. On the other hand, these features often expose unexpected vulnerabilities that pose new challenges. For example, the timing differences introduced by caches or sp...
Software exploitable Hardware Trojan Horses (HTHs) inserted into commercial CPUs allow the attacker to run his/her own software or to gain unauthorized privileges. Recently a novel menace raised: HTHs inserted by CAD tools. A consequence of such scenario is that HTHs must be considered a serious threat not only by academy but also by industry. In t...
FPGA accelerators on the NIC enable the offloading of expensive packet processing tasks from the CPU. However, FPGAs have limited resources that may need to be shared among diverse applications, and programming them is difficult. We present a solution to run Linux's eXpress Data Path programs written in eBPF on FPGAs, using only a fraction of the a...
