Defeating Hardware Prefetchers in Flush+Reload Side-Channel Attack

Hardware prefetching can seriously interfere with Flush+Reload cache side channel attack. This interference is not taken into consideration in previous attacks. In this paper, an improved provided which minimizes the impact of hardware prefetchers. Specifically, analyzed based on reverse engineering and result used to make evaluation model evaluate Then applied fine tune placement probes attack mitigate impact. The experiments show that approach effective Core i5 processor equipped highly aggressive
