As shown by Meltdown and Spectre, modern processor architectures are vulnerable to side/covert-channel attacks that exploit hardware-level behaviors not visible in the traditional instruction set architecture(ISA). In particular, timing channels represent one of the most serious threats because they can be exploited in software without physical proximity to a victim system.

G. Edward Suh is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. He received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2005. Before joining Cornell, he led the commercial development of the Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) technology at Veryao Inc., which is now used in commercial products such as Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoC for storing secret keys. He also did early research work on dynamic cache partitioning and secure processor technologies, which are widely available in today's processors. His research interests span computer systems in general with a focus on developing architectural techniques to improve security and efficiency.
