"'Metior' Defense Blueprint Against Side-Channel Vulnerabilities Debuts"

Metior is an analysis framework developed by MIT researchers to simplify hardware and software design frameworks in order to enhance defense capabilities against known and unknown side-channel attacks. Using Metior, engineers could quantitatively evaluate how much information an adversary can steal through a specific side-channel attack. It is considered a simulation sandbox in which chip designers and other engineers can determine, based on their use case, what combination of defenses maximizes their protection against side-channel attacks. As Metior allows the quantitative measure of how much information is stolen, users can calculate the impact of it being stolen, so they can implement protections against the most impactful types of attacks. This article continues to discuss the new Metior framework that bridges hardware design and cybersecurity.
