An international team of security researchers is presenting new side-channel attacks (CVE-2020-8694 and CVE-2020-8695), which use fluctuations in software power consumption to access sensitive data on Intel CPUs. Intel and power side-channel attacks Power side-channel attacks are attacks that exploit fluctuations in power consumption to extract sensitive data such as cryptographic keys. Because power measurements by malware were previously very inaccurate, such attacks required physical access to the target device and special measurement tools such … More
